This too from nasioc.
Well I just reinstalled the new clutch and FW with the stock PP and . . . . . . IT WORKS!!!! I am currently in communication with ACT to see if they can figure out what went wrong, but it seams like the whole issue stemmed from a bad PP. I will keep you guys posted on what happens... I also want to personally thank everyone for their input!!! It has been extremely helpful and I learned a whole lot about clutches and the system as a whole!! |

It was indeed the opposite but I was mostly concerned about not compounding the issue. I already suspected it was the ACT clutch warping when it gets hot but,... one step at a time. Sounds like you leapfrogged over all the steps and left me in the dust.

I was 1/2 way thinking of going back to a stock clutch when I put it back together but at the time I didn't want to spend the $518 (Amazon). That time the voices in my head were correct. |

Act is giving me the finger
At least I know what the problem is.
Then, the Exedy kit from RockAuto had a 9 1/2 disc instead of a 9" one. I jumped through their hoops for the return label, we'll see what happens. I'll find a vendor with real, live, honest to goodness, people and order another kit. Hopefully they can check it before shipping. |

My FRS is back together with OEM Exedy kit, flywheel, and Redline 90 gear lube. It drives like a dream. I didn't realize how much I disliked the Act clutch and light weight flywheel.
I installed Cusco front shifter bushings. I attempted to install an Energy Suspension rear bushing but there was no way I could get the mofo to slide onto the shift rod. I did not remove the shifter from the car but now that it's back together, the shifter feels good anyway. Rockatuo gave me a full refund on the kit with the wrong disc. Maybe I'll send the old pressure plate back to ACT and then they can tell me what's wrong with it. |
