ACT Cluth problem anyone have this happen ?
 
I have noticed it smelling like I'ts burning or like when ya mis a gear ! I have a aluminum 9.5 flywheel and a ACT street strip clutch and pressure plate.
I put a speed bleeder in and blead the system clean
ajusted the pedal hight and play But it gets sticky sometimes and I smell it burning when I fire it up
just holding the pedal in When I start it !

I'm thinking it's the master slave cylinder it's original
49k but the clutch set up has 4k miles

What do ya think anyone???:confused:

Could be tranny oil. That stuff will gas off the tranny if you have even the smallest bit on the case.

just checked
 
I just checked inside the service plate and every thing looks clean, just a little dust.
I have the wife push the peddel down to see if it was working correctly I see the throw out bearing and
lever working properly !
But the clutch seems to pull away slightly, like about
less than a 1/6th of an inch when the peddel is to the floor I wonder if that is normal ? and the snap ring is
out about a 1/2 inch !

I spayed it down with brake clean and I'll test tomarrow night !

any other Ideas guy's:(

Thanks

my clutch master went bad on my TII and did that. it could be either the master or the slave or both. only one way to find out :)

That happened to me before I replaced the stock clutch (the sticking). I now have an ACT clutch and LW FW.

I had to replace the master and the slave too. That was at about 84K.

Since I did that, no problems. I put in a stainless braided hose too (to the slave). Figured that I might as well upgrade that at the time.

Found the Problem !
 
I replaced the Cluth slave cylinder ! Nope that's not it
wasted $70 bucks started to remember what RX7TT
said so I checked the bolts on the pressure plate and Bling Bling they were loose !!! (about hand tight ) !
So I took them out 1 at a time and put locktight on them !

Tested it and Walla problem Solved !
:D

Thanks RX7TT:beerchug:
