clutch took a poop

imageautodetail · 05-28-2011, 06:33 AM

clutch went out this past week, it had 94K on it with several mods so it was bound to happen, going with a UCC motorwerks kevlar street/track kit

ACT STREET FTW! Lol

I would get ACT street clutch with OEM flywheel!

Qmax03 · 05-29-2011, 01:55 PM

ACT street is what id go with ... OEM flywheel if you dont want to much noise coming from the transmission

thanks for your thoughts on the ACT clutch kit, but like I stated, I have purchased the UCC clutch kit and would like some thoughts on it, I could really care less about the ACT kit since I purchased a different kit...

I don't know what to say but other than you should have asked before you purchased the kit. When I hear of UUC, this is what comes to mind:

the three i was going to choose from were the act, uuc and clutchmasters, went with the uuc after speaking to my bmw service writer and rob at uuc. It is also the clutch one of the guys that is local and is on the bmw race team runs. I do feel good about it being the kevlar clutch and not the organic or ceramics that were mentioned, and the dealer is installing it

Have yet to see a single complaint from ACT owners. Have seen a few with Clutch masters with issues..

Tuner1984 · 05-30-2011, 10:20 PM

I'd definitely go with ACT. Never had any issues with there clutches.

imageautodetail · 06-08-2011, 06:36 AM

ive got about 800 miles on the new clutch and I am 95% happy with it. I was able to do the 500 mile break in on sat and sunday, 300/200, at about 350 miles i did get a little chatter down shifting from 4 to 3, only did it about 6 times and hasnt done it since, it hooks up really nice especially in the higher gears, that is where i really notice the difference in engagement, the only thing im a bit disappointed in is how soft the pedal feels, even softer than stock, I would have liked to of had a little more resistance, but as soon as i am used to it, im sure it wont be a big deal

I know someone local to me which had it's ACT Street clutch fail after 3000km. He has an e93 335i with upgraded turbos.

ACT street / strip is weak. I had less torque on my rx-7 (around 350 rwtq) and it lasted only 10,000 miles. Moved to a sprung 6 puck clutch and no issues at all.

Who's that? You can ruin any clutch easily if you abuse it...nothing to do with the clutch quality..

I dyno at 500wtq and have done hundreds of pulls on it and so far its working fine...so far its been 20-25,000km on it so already higher than 10k miles...we'll see how it goes the next 20k
