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

Thanks again Eric, I hadn't seen that part yet.

I've decided on going with the bushings from TSS, a stronger clutch fork, and I'll pass on the bolts for now. I'll see what it looks like when I get the new flywheel.

Now, has anyone had any experience with cryotreatment? I've heard only good things about it but just how much stronger does it make the cryotreated element? Specifically, how much stronger would it make a clutch fork and or, would the treated fork be able to withstand the forces of the 2600? I can have it treated for significantly less, but money really isn't the issue. It's more of, what does it need to be reliable and if I can save $60 that's 60 more I can put to something else like tires.
