Broken Clutch = Me FUCKING PISSED

I posted a few days ago about my car not going into gear and i said i though it was either the master or slave Cylinder, well gues what, it wasnt.  After changing those didnt solve the problem we decided to drop the tranny to see if the problem lied elsewhere.  It turns out that 4 teeth completely broke off of my ACT 2100 lb clutch, which i bought barely five months ago.  I called ACT and they said to send them the bad clutch and they would decide if it was a deffect or abuse that caused the failure.  If they dont replace that ****ing clutch i am going to be really pissed.  

that sucks. How many miles are on it?

Probably around 5,000 miles.  Im going to go ahead and have a stock clutch put on untill i get this **** worked out.  If they send me a new clutch ill put it on when i have the tranny rebuilt.  This **** pisses me off though.  Im going to spend more than 700.00 dollars on labor and parts because of their bad clutch.

Wow that does suck, if they dont give you another one I would raise hell!

I plan to raise hell reguardless lol.  Im going to try to get a free upgrade out of all this, im thinking about trying to get a 2600 lb.  I figure if i have to spend over 700.00 dollars because of their bad product, they could at least compensate me somehow.

Damn right they do something for ya, 5k miles on a clutch is crap!

yea that sucks man, when are you supposed to find out about all of this?

It will probably be about two weeks before i find out anything.  I still have to wait for the stock clutch to come in so I can get it put and get the ACT Clutch removed.  Then i have to mail it back to their office in california so they can try and determine the cause.  I have a feeling this might get ugly.

See if they can take care of all expenses. There is no reason for you to be paying out of pocket fees for this.

I agree with you sebba.  I asked the CSR at extreme psi where i ordered the clutch from if act would cover the charges, and he said no.  But with enouch bitching im sure i can change their minds lol.

Bitching always works, keep us posted.  I might think twice abt buying an act, depending on how they handle your situation.

I got a question which im kinda suprised no one asked did you abuse it ?

i'm pretty sure he didn't really get on it much, his old clutch, well hell, i abused it too.

Even if you abuse it, the most damage that should be, is added wear on the pressure plate and the disc. Nothing should have actually broken off no matter what.
 
With that being said, I highly doubt he did anyways.

come on, you know he did just alil bit!!right??

i know he got on it after its break in, but he would never race me.. wonder why.

^^^ I would never race you from a dig, thats for damn sure lol.  And no i didint abuse it at all except for the occasional street pull.  Gas is two damn expensive right now and so i baby it.  I will try and get some pics up of the clutch tommorow so you guys can see what im talking about.  Hell even my mechanic said that even if constantly dumped the clutch, it still shouldnt
have broken like it did.

but i laugh when we race from a stop..  it's so much fun. (for me)

Tell you what, next time we race from a dig i'll loosen your lug nugs.  At least then ill be the one laughing when you loose a wheel AGAIN.

yeah it was funny, 400 bucks funny.  i'm lucky i wasn't going fast or i could've flipped.  and the fact that my engine was 1 1/2 in off the ground was scary too.
