ACT 2600 engagement

[Trevor Germuth]

Hello Hello

My buddy and I just installed an Act 2600 in his 91 AWD.  We got the clutch fork, pivot ball, extended slave rod and all the normal goodies.  We have the braided line, just not installed yet.

The clutch engagement is quite close to the floor, but after driving it for 2 days he has become quite accustomed to how close it is.  I would say about an inch maybe more off the floor and it begins engaging. The clutch also disengages/engages much differently than a stock one, it is almost more of an off/on. So long as the clutch is fully engaging we should be ok right?  I know you can play with the pedal adjustment and all the jazz to move it but is there a sure fire way to know if you are engaging all the way?

I was thinking sit on a hill with a slight incline, and see how the car rolls in Neutral vs. in gear with the clutch in.

Chances are we are fine, just looking for a "yes you are ok" so we can both sleep at night, lol.

Thanks for the time guys.

*Note* We did not put a lock washer under the pivot ball*

You could try adjusting the clutch pedal as per the shop manual.

I have the ACT2900, and I use the washer and I'm happy with the results.

However, maybe someone on this board has a better idea. :idea:

Ya I have no problem adjusting the clutch pedal at all.  Just wanting to make sure it is fully disengaged when depressed.

ok i'm pretty sauced righ now but, if you put it in first and slowly let the pedal up till it grabs a little, this will tell you where your engagement point is and if you will ahve to adjust it. Do this in a parking lot. With this test it should be obvious if your engaged or disengaged at all! drunkin advice, gotta love it

[John Hartman]

pretty coherent for a lush  

as well, if your clutch isn't disengaging due to whatever reason, if you depress the clutch and try to put it in gear it will be hard/nearly impossible.

also did you get a street disc(normal clutch looking disc) or a puck style disc(looks like a fan blade)?

the puck style ones will engage/disengage much like an on/off switch.

[Robin Toor]

If you have a puck style disc then this behaviour is completely normal.

[Trevor Germuth]

It is a street disc.  I think all is ok with it though.

Works alot better than the last one...
