I am just curious if any other ACT clutch users have a problem burning through master cylinders? i am on master cylinder #3 now and the last two have only lasted about 3 months total. am i alone or are there others with this problem?

 

im on number 3 all oem aftermarket ones suck

 

wow,is there something i should know,i have a act street clutch...

 

i run an ACT street disc and well i am burning through master cylinders at an annoying rate. i'd keep a spare one handy. I've destroyed one centric and 2 OEM.

 

i also have the street disc but this happen with other clutches if im not mistaking

 

cant say I have had this kinda problem on the two sets iv installed of that very same clutch kit (on customers cars). so far so good. It could be clutch or the adjustments made to the pedel thats causing this problem.

 

What brake fluid are you using?

 

i ordered an ACT 6puck and i just put in a napa MC it seems my clutch is going out as well and maybe my slave. it does have 88K miles on it so guess i will be replacing that one too.

 

Ive ran the ACT 6 puck with XT pressure plate for about 8-10k now - I dont daily my car, but Ive yet to have an issue. (Other than when I had the clutch disc itself break)

 

Do you guys you the slave cylinder extender pin? With that the clutch pedal on the tc was at its normal level and it felt like the clutch was engaging nicer. I didn't have any problems when running my act clutchs for about 10k daily.

 

I adjusted the clutch under the dash and made a custom slave cylinder push rod. Mine engages perfectly about 1/3 into the pedal travel.

 

I have a pushrod from these guys: http://speed-source.net/?wpsc_produc...lutch-pushrods and actually mine is for sale now that I mention it lol. Works nice though, i think without this the clutch is engaging way too low and I wonder if it is adding to these master cylinder issues.

 

my clutch has 40K on it now. i never ran the extended slave arm just adjusted the master.

 

I was never able to adjust the clutch pedal high enough for my taste with an act clutch, it always engaged too close to the floor, so the extended arm helped me and it was cheap so i don't think you can go wrong.

 

i've been looking at getting one. i think my clutch is wearing out. does the extended arm cause partial engagement that is what i have been worried about.

 

So if you have an act street disc clutch , do you have to get an extended push rod? and will the engagement of the pedal be affected by the hd street disc clutch kit?

 

I haven't ran one and I don't know if it would help.

Thanks syldrin.

Anyone else with the street disc wanna chime in?

I have one on the way.

 

Any aftermarket clutch will make your clutch pedal engage differently, you may be able to adjust the screw behind the pedal enough to compensate. On my act street clutch and act hd clutch even with the screw maxed out. The clutch pedal still engaged too low to the floor, so i got the extended pushrod to fix that. I don't think you "need" one but i thought it was very convenient to have it, i'm not sure if it will help with the master cylinder issue some people are having though.

 

i have the act street clutch with heavy duty pressure plate....when i first installed it,engagement was stomped at the floor,so i ajusted the rod just enough,to where i let out the clutch like a inch or two then it starts to engage...but i dont like it too high...
