ACT clutch

someone told me that the act clutch could give problems to your tranny,
because it may be too aggressive. is that true? cuz if it is, i should change it back to stock, dont want to blow the tranny again.

it has to do with the install and how hard you drive the car. If the install was done correctly and you drive the car with out beating on it the clutch will be fine. Most people assume that with the new clutch they can beat on the car and then they end up breaking 3rd gear. Just take it easy and you will be fine

I have an ACT clutch with a fidanza flywheel what do you mean beating on it? Flooring the car all the time? or?

im talking about dumping the clutch at like 5000rpm, slamming in to 2nd and 3rd, not rev matching when down shifting, things like that.

I never slam it in to a lower gear.. Always rpm match

Only thing i love to do is floor every gear I know it is really bad and I get CEL almost every few weeks but after spending so much money on my 5 speed conversion i just cant help it
