I beilve its the HD not extreme. Thats what i thought to, but he said he's made it so the push rod barley has any thread left and it still isint enough..
Ill look into it next time he comes and see what i can find out!

Paul, Any idea on whats up with the act street disk engagment? Does it need a extended push rod, or is it the clutch design?
My friend installed it in his car, And it engages right at the floor almost! Making it diff to shift.
He's tried:
Bleeding clutch
SS clutch line
Adjusting the rod everywhich way
swapping the clutch master cylinder
I havint messed with it myself. But is the OEM throw out bearing he used the cause? Maybe the ACT one is longer?
Thanks

Mike iv installed two of em and yeah you deff got to adjust the pedel but normal adjustments and everything should be good. not sure why this situation is different.
on Marcial's car as soon as i got the clutch in and everything buttoned up i went for a test drive and yeah i had to just about put the peddle through the floor for the clutch to disengage, same pretty much went for Carlos's. after adjustment we were able to get the peddle about halfway when the clutch disengages.
both clutches came from Dezod i think (TY4-HDMM), intrested to see how this turns out.
just wondering did the guy use an aftermarket flywheel?
is the clutch doing anything weired or odd noises?

I think we used the stock tob on carlos's car...not 100% sure though. on Marcial's i used the tob that came with the clutch. Iv seen them side by side and as far as thickness its the same if i remember correctly.

I didn't know this existed, just picked one up, will make the clutch so much nicer.

I wonder what the stock push rod is made of - is it steel or aluminum? If its steel I could just weld some extra material on the end and shape it with the bench grinder - gotta save everywhere you can man

im starting to wonder if the forks are bending or something of that nature, I doubt it but i suppose its possible. have you used an aftermarket clutch on your tc before? what flywheel are you using? stock? When installed did the pressure plate mount flush to the flywheel? just trying to understand a bit better.

Even after you adjust it, it will grab really close to the floor, and careful not to adjust it too much as you'll end up having it partially engaged all the time and damage the tob.
