Brand new act clutch failed
Hey guys, just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Brand new act extreme street/strip setup. just got it in and running, less than a thousand miles and the rings that the tob pops into in the center of the pressure plate all broke and pulled out of the pressure plate. Now I get to try to get act to replace this stinking thing.

My first ACT clutch (back in 1999) failed over a couple months time.
But from a totally different reason. As friction material dust built up in it, the clutch became extreamly hard to depress. The tolerance of the pivoting parts was too small, and the dust was causing binding. Sent it back to Ray and got a free replacement which is still in my car and working fine after all these years.
