Not all ACT are the same be careful who you buy from. China man say cheap thing no good, make sure you run a GL4 oil in the box if your gears are grating it is because GL5 was used and its eating the brass rings.

idlemind, amount of ppl i does pass on my way to trincity i dont remember, next time flag me down.

Death-Row, Just take down your bushings and take to to a rubber molding company and have them remade.

W2J, point duly noted.

^ who are those "people" maybe the same type that never raced, built or even own a fast Mitsubishi? I certainly hope its not the same that made you buy a copper setup for a 4WD car that does not have enough power to slip the wheels without doing damage to the TC.

took down the joint today... soon as we pulled the axle out the joint just kinda fell apart... Shocked

bearings went rolling all over the place... so will be changing the join this week... both

hummm... from what i'm getting here is it that the copper clutch setup is bad for our cars once used as a daily driver???

my last car (GSR) was running a ACT street & strip setup but my EVO II has ACT 6 puck copper clutch, heavy duty pp, & a slightly lightened flywheel & i have no problems with this.

Nik, i think the problem lies in the launches, where all wheels require torque which means extra force required by the engine to move them. With a copper clutch theirs nearly 0 slippage. So when you get a sudden increase in torque at the wheels all that is transferred to the TC/ GB which could result in sudden snapping or damaging of parts. With a non copper clutch, you would get sudden slippage in the event that you do get a sudden increase in torque. Look at it like a safety feature protecting your TC/GB/

well said janfar. i guess unless u have enough power to break traction, a copper isnt the best for our cars?

i try not to launch my car while i have the copper installed. sorting a few other things out first then ill change clutch setup.

Just make sure when yuh launching yuh evo you launch hard enough to make all four wheels slip.
Once yuh do that, TC safe.
Cool

^ sean if by chance you get any wheelhop sh!t is going to break, with a pucked disc your chances increase ten fold esp if the idot who bought or sold one without springs. A MB1-HDSS holds 322ft /tq which is perfect for daily driving / racing but I am sure they were advised to go overkill either by wrong research or the want to be experts. I have see clutch forks, fulcrum, slave/master cylinder shatter using extreme PP for daily drivers.

I liked the Exedy Twin Disc. Lovely clutch. Mr. Green

Death-Row · Posted: Tue Aug 11, 2009 10:48 am Post subject:

so will a twin disc be over kill for a stock setup if intended to raise horses in the near future? or should i just get a full street and strip setup for now?

W2J · Posted: Tue Aug 11, 2009 10:51 am Post subject:

^ just go with a ACT SS and make sure you get it through a honest vendor.
