The ACT I have grabs HARD, so any extra forces generated by my ham-footed shifting (this is a hypothetical situation, of course) are pushed right on thru the driveline. Hopefully it can handle it. Otherwise, it's the NEXT weakest link that's gonna go, and it's probably gonna be more $$$ than a clutch to replace. However, I LOVE this clutch, it's STRONG and very responsive. You get great feedback, and it's easy to modulate. The only bad thing is that you can get it chattering pretty good in stop-and-go traffic. But it's not too bad, and it'a probably worse due to the poor shape of my engine and tranny mounts. Replys:
