Break Beat Zen Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I have seen lots of people mention that the ACT street lite Flywheel revs quicker and thought maybe those interested in buying one would like to see just how fast it revs. So here you go, maybe this will help someone somehow in their clutch buying decision.

lucas569 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 what are your thoughts on how it drives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Break Beat Zen Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 It's a nice setup. It's only been a few days since I had it installed so I haven’t got it down just yet. The clutch just grabs instantly so first gear starts are kind of rough right now and there is some chatter. The clutch pedal effort is very minimal though, I don’t have to use much strength to push it down. From my reading the clutch gets easier to operate with time as it gets broken in and as you learn to drive it better. It’s like driving a whole different car at first and will take some time to get it down right. I do have the TOB squeal issue though so I’m going to try the bracket/spring combo another member here did to silence it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravisS Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 From my reading the clutch gets easier to operate with time as it gets broken in and as you learn to drive it better. It’s like driving a whole different car at first and will take some time to get it down right. My very first experience with my new ACT clutch / LWFW was pulling out in to traffic. I should have drove around the parking lot a little or something It was soooo different from stock, and grabbed instantly, that I stalled pulling out in to traffic (with cars coming!) It didn't take long to get comfortable with it, and within the first week it was much smoother and less grabby. The clutch pedal itself was smoother as well, feeling very much like stock if not lighter. It most definately does become easier to operate in time. With nearly 3 months installed and well over 3k miles on mine, it's a very smooth and way easier to drive. Oddly enough, I expected more of a difference with the flywheel itself. Maybe it's just because I've gotten used to it, but it doesn't seem like the lightweight flywheel really changed anything. I can't even tell a big difference when revving it in neutral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal2You Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 You guys are using the ACT "heavy duty street" clutch with the streetlight flywheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rc0032 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 You want pics of his wife also FWIW I rode with F1anatic over the weekend and he has this setup. It was very chatery (sp?) and would annoy the shit out of me for a DD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSaladino Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 mine started out with some chatter, but i've had it on there for about 8 months or so and the chatter is gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Break Beat Zen Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 Mine chattered bad at first but its subsiding even after only a few days and its getting much easier to go from a stop. So far i love this set up and i believe it will only get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiralsmurf Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 do you hear significantly more transmission noise since installed the flywheel especially when the throttle is off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravisS Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 do you hear significantly more transmission noise since installed the flywheel especially when the throttle is off. Most definately. That's basically the reason we have the dual mass dealybob in the first place, is to reduce noise. The lightweight flywheel is fairly noisy at 0% throttle (but fine at like 1% ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Break Beat Zen Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 it's noticaibly louder but not to the point where its bothersome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CwhillVT Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Can anyone tell me what the bolt p/n for the pressure plate to flywheel is? Are the FW to crank bolts the same as stock. I'll be using the act lwfw. thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caramall2 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Any of you using 6 puck? Was a bit hard to tell...just wondering whether to go with street perf or 6 puck. (Running about 60 HP over stock...not worried once it's engaged...more concerned with if I want to do occassional launches if it can hold up.)

caramall2 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Thanks. Not going past 20g, but I wonder if it's more about how you drive. I've babied the stock clutch and it's held up well for 50k (virtually no launches in 1st gear...my basic rule is never "stomp on it" until the clutch is fully engaged). However, I'm sure if I launched it even moderately a lot, the stock clutch would have worn out long ago. I want to be able to do occassional "moderate" launches (maybe once or twice a week) without worrying. Interesting LtBlue has a 6 puck Bulley clutch (I think that's what it is) and it has no chatter at all (I've driven it...pedal is real easy too), yet it's strong as an ox. Sounds like a lot of ACT people with 6 puck have chatter issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
