Hey guys,
After an unfortunate turn of events, it's been 5 going on 6 weeks since I sent my clutch pedal assembly out to get replacement bushings CNC'd out of aluminum. After my ACT2600 install, my clutch pedal wasn't disengaging like it should (and I had replaced everything else possible including the washer ball fix). I tore it down with Taxiwardance and sent it out next day. I've been without a car for 4 weeks now, since I wrecked my truck, and I really need to get this thing going. Does any one have a good pedal assembly that will take the kind of pressure the 2600 will put on it? I'm not going to bother with trying to borrow one until then, so if you've got one you know is good, and are willing to part with let me know. Thanks -------------------- "I hear he tunes the space shuttle also...and that thing is fast"

is it a common problem for people to have to "beef up" their clutch pedal to handle a ACT2600....
if so, what is it that needs extra support??? would it be easier and cheaper to find an after market race pedal set for it??? -------------------- You CAN sleep in your car, but your CAN NOT race your house!!!

I just welded my lever across to the nut, and it works very well, with the only downside being is i now cant ever disassemble it. But i shouldnt ever need to anyway. Probably a much cheaper/easier solution than having new bushings made for it.

GSXRacer, yes, it's common. That along with the washer ball fix, new slave cyl., new master cyl, and stainless clutch line. The stock system just can't keep up with the repeated abuse of the 2600.
Taxi, I wish I could just get mine back. I don't know what's going on so I'm probably just going to have to find an extra set for the mean time. -------------------- "I hear he tunes the space shuttle also...and that thing is fast"
