I know its not the clutch slave or master cylinder. Ive been under the car while someone else has pushed the pedal and the slave moves plenty. I called competition and since I bought the clutch over a year ago even tho I didn't have it installed right away its already out of warrentee.

And as for my driving I don't hardly ever drive the car and I trailered it to the track. I bet I've only put maybe 50 miles on it in the last 6 months and when I do I just putt it around.

Until yesterday at the track its always shifted and worked perfectly, but If I can't even make 1 pass in the car without it breaking the clutch seems pretty worthless to me especially when the company won't do anything to help me out with it even tho their clutch failed at less power than its rated for

 

i have the same clutch and havnt had a problem. probably wont be able to tell anything until you pull the trans. in for more info when its out! good luck!

I think I know what happened here because I had the same problem with the Spec 6 puck I used to run. If you didn't warm the clutch up before launching, then you most likely welded the clutch disc to the flywheel. This can happen with these types of clutches and it's not the fault of the clutch, but operator error. Pull your trans and most likely you'll see the clutch disc stuck to the flywheel. Pull eveything apart, clean the material from the flywheel and get a new disc and all will be good, just don't do it again.

 

I drove the car to the track, warmed it up on jack stands, and did a pretty extensive burn out before the launch how else can you warm a clutch up? I've never had an act or exedy do anything like this before, also the trans and clutch will be out later today

 

never heard anyone say to "warm" a clutch up before

 

Did your car sit for a period of time before you staged? Trust me, pull the trans and I'm willing to bet your disc is stuck to the flywheel. The material that most of those disc's are made of do this. I did a burnout and went to push the clutch in and it didn't release (exact same results as you are having). Towed it home from the track, pulled the trans and yep, disc was stuck to the flywheel.

 

^ If slave's working as it should, I'd bet this coulda happened as well.

Happened to my Buddys RSX, luckily he got it to pop free somehow.

 

I was up and ready to go at the line pretty quik, maybe in the staging lanes for 2 Mins, and it was plenty warm before hand. The car launched perfectly until about 30-40ft out when the clutch gave. I'm not going with a competition clutch again just because I don't want to have the same exact thing happen again next time I take it to the track. I would rather spend the money and not have to worry about it, thus the reason I'm also looking into going auto th400.

It could very well be welded to the flywheel I don't know, I just don't want to spend an entire weekend getting the car ready to have the same clutch fail again in a couple weeks. A good clutch should hold up to 400whp launching more than 1 time

 

finally got the clutch out, and the pucks came apart, badly, and ruined the flywheel. The clutch disc came right out, it wasn't welded to the flywheel at all
