Impossible to get a smooth start.

[blsfrs]

In my ignorance, I installed an Act 6 puck disc and Street lite flywheel in my FRS. Versus fork and pivot too. It chattered like a dog for 300 miles. But since I adjusted the clutch rod and removed the assist spring, it is now almost as smooth as the stock clutch in my 4Runner.

To give a rundown of the chain of events.

TOB took a hot heaving dump, so as it is written by the gods you never replace JUST the TOB, if you are "in there" just do a clutch job.

Also as written by the gods... FOR EVERY CAR EXCEPT THIS ONE APPARENTLY.. you never replace.. you upgrade.


So the first clutch job was with a ACT Pro lite flywheel and ACT street somethingorother clutch kit, regular organic, nothing crazy.




After that I noticed the god awful clatter/vibration in the 1800-3000 rpm range and she shuddering on take off.


so convinced it was the clutch (it didnt do it stock) I bought a new clutch kit, this time a McLeod Street Tuner kit a Verus Forged clutch fork .. why is this shit blue?



also a different flywheel, which I cant find now but basically it was a aluminium flywheel with a replaceable friction surface, reminded me of the Findanza FW I had on my old GSX.






Anywho that didnt help the situation.. AT ALL, and mind you Im paying a shop $500 a pop for the work so this is adding up.







So, Im not looking into getting a SC or any FI setup, the car has some bolt ons and (a ECU tune, equal length long tube header, intake manifold spacers)



Should I just get OEM shit and have that put on there?

I think the answer is obvious. Nothin' wrong with the parts the car came with.

How long have the newest parts been in there? If it hasn't been long I would bear with it for a little bit longer and see if it breaks in some. I don't know anything about McLeod clutches so I can't comment on them. A lot of people have had issues with ACT.

They can be horrible in day to day street driving though.

Any clutch but Exedy? I haven't heard anything bad about them. Now the ACT clutches are a whole different story. There is a reason "is it ACT" is one of the first questions asked when people have clutch issues.

I worded it poorly. I would only recommend Exedy or OEM (which is Exedy).

I blame Mel.

Thanks for all the feedback.

I went back to a stock flywheel and have had zero issues since.
