k....so I've had my new ACT clutch in for about 450miles...the break in period is 200-300 miles...so naturally after 300 miles, I couldn't wait to floor it. I gunned it in first gear this morning, and **** does that thing grip, not only did the tires chirp into second....they PEELED...and I had WHEEL-HOP into second gear...then my car did something that it's never done before...it chirped into third gear too!!!! All I can say is that I'm VERY impressed with this clutch. There is a little chatter in first gear when engaging from a dead stop...but that should go away after 1K miles....overall I'm very happy with it.

 

If it will allow me to chrip thrid and peel second, I am deffinatly getting one, how much did you pay for yours? Where at? and how much was it to install the thing?

 

I think I might be getting this clutch. Is this the same as the ACT HD clutch?

 

What % of more gripping power over stock does the ACT street clutch have >>?? usually they tell ya when you buy it

 

The heavy duty pressure plate and modified street disc can hold 362 lb-ft of torque and is rated at 39% increase over stock.

 

Both the heavy duty pressure plate and the mod. steet disc come with the Street Clutch Package from ACT ??

 

Yep - I just sold another street package the other day

 

That must have been mine :-)

John

 

I ended up paying nothing for my clutch becuase ACT shipped the wrong disc TWICE.....but all aside it would have cost a little over 300. Installation should be around 500 bucks. Get one from Got Rice.

 

i need that clutch what about the act flywheel

 

Don't know anything about the flywheel. The guy at ACT did say that since the maxima engine already revs fairly quickly...the HD clutch and lightened flywheel combo would probably just make for a harder and more abrubt clutch engagement.

 

Brian, what could your car do as far as chirping the tires during gear changes before your new clutch??????

 

What is the model number for this clutch? Is it the organic one????

 

Sounds great. Yet when adding a better clutch such as the act do you also get a reduced 0-60 time?

 

the 0-60 sould be better...if i mess up alittle when shifting from 1-2 i get major clutch slip but ive only had the car for 3K miles so really im not used to it yet..and i dont have ACT no i have some piece of sh** new clutch the original owner put in

 

Brians clutch is a lot harder to push in than my stock clutch. Bri I gotta get a ride now that we can rev above 3500 rpms.

 

I ordered the street disk 5 weeks ago, and after calling ACT today, I have found out that the street disk is on back order for the 4th gens.. seems like they could have told me a bit sooner as my clutch is starting to slip and I have a SC on the way

 

What does it take to get some questions answered around here?

 

The ACT clutch has an organic disc.

I've been looking at the Clutchmasters Stage 3 setup, which is a carbon-kevlar setup. It supposed to hold real nice, and last just as long as their other setups.

 

it could only chirp into second when the clutch WASN'T hot...and NEVER chirped into third

-B

 

you said you did chirp into third ????

 

yup...I couldn't believe it either....it's even on video...you can hear it during one of my runs at the track.

 

So where is the video I gotta see this

 

NM1-HDMM
Yes, it's organic since it uses a stock disc that has been modified (the marcel area on the disc is reduced, which enables quicker action).

geomax: ACT does not make a lightened FW for the 89-99 Maxima

 

when I figure out how to upload them to my computer via firewire....then I'll let you guys know...til then...you'll have to come to chicago to see em...

 

nope, it was another John van de Pol hehe j/k

 

Got Rice:
I didn't see how to order the clutch off of your website. How do I go about doing this?

 

You can shoot me an email or give me a call at 717 859 3072.

 

Phuong -
Do you have that model in stock? I've been waiting 2 months now to receive mine because they said it was a backorder. Let me know if you do and i'll get my $ back from them

 

nope, sorry. none in stock. Once this current backorder on the pressure plate is over with I'll have a few in stock.
