    Maybe a new throw out fork and pivot ball and there's nothing wrong with the ACT TOB I'm using it without a issue

    Sweet.

    Just ordered the TOB fork and pivotball.

    My friend gave me some sense... He didn't understand why I am doing the clutch so soon when mine is barely slipping. He said just wear out your stocker before you put it all in there.
    Good point.

    Well the ACT setup is in the car. Had a performance shop out in KCMO install it. Great group of guys. They never did a clutch on a SRT-4 so they quoted me at 5 hours of labor. $375. Didn't charge me tax either. Plus they fixed my ebrake for free. I finally have a damn ebrake on my car after owning it for 2 years. Tried adjsuting the star key but it never worked. Got the car back the following day (2 weeks ago) and the clutch felt weird, almost killed it a couple times :lol: Feels a ton firmer and not as sloppy. Still getting used to this day, mainly from a stop and starting to go in first gear.

    I noticed though. I do indeed hear a chatter when the car is in neutral. When I push the clutch in most of the sound goes away. Its really not that bad but kind of annoying, but then again there are a ton of annoying things about my car. Just another thing to ad to the list. So I guess it must be the infamous ACT TOB. As long as it works fine I won't complain. =)

    Called up ACT and they said to put 200-300 city driving miles on it. Most of my miles are itnerstate miles but I have been logging my city miles on paper. Driving me crazy not being able to open it up once in a while.

    what really causes the chatter is the springs in the disk itself cause there sooo stiff
