Clutch/Trans Swap Options

[turbohcar]

Currently, I'm putting together a clutch/transmission swap. I've got a new transmission to replace the explodered one and last year I bought an ACT 2600 with a street disc at a really good price. To go along with the clutch, I bought an ACT Streetlite flywheel and I'm currently waiting for it to come in the mail.

Now, to add to this I was looking into a billet steel clutch fork (for the added pressure) and clutch pedal bushings (to weld the clutch linkage to the pedal) along with this setup. Anyone with experience and some good mileage on a 2600 have any advice about my choices? Basically, is it necessary, for long term use, to have a billet steel clutch fork? or weld the clutch linkage to the pedal? I know Taxiwardance had problems with his linkage, has anyone else? The other option to billet steel is cryotreating. I could have the fork cryotreated for considerably less. Is this a good alternative or not? I'm also thinking about getting Forced Performance's longer flywheel/clutch bolts because the stock ones don't seem to go in as far with an aftermarket flywheel. Anyone have experience with this or have a clutch fly off because of it? Any comments welcome, thanks

I've got around 20,000 miles and 9 months or so on my daily driven act 2600 with xact flywheel. Only thing extra I have on mine is the TSS clutch fork because I've seen a couple stock forks fail with the 2600. I wish I would have known about the clutch pedal modification before but after the amount of BS I went through getting the pedal assembly out I will NEVER get in their again. So I am welding the clutch lever and getting the bushings even though the ones I took out looked to be in perfect shape. I wasn’t even aware of the flywheel bolts? But I had also never heard of the clutch pedal problem until it happened to me. I would say go with whatever kind of insurance your budget allows.
