    Re: BadAss SRT-Z - 2.4L / A568 - Update!!!

    My TU purple plate with OS option is just like stock going into reverse. I ALWAYS shift into 1st before going to reverse to help it mesh since reverse is not synchronized. It usually snicks right in. If not, I barely engage the clutch while applying pressure to the shifter and that usually does it with no issues.

    By proper break-in you mean start it up, check for leaks, then load it on the trailer; followed by a few starts in the staging lanes with a big ol 2nd gear burnout and all topped off by a 6k sidestep launch and 3 powershifts?

    Interesting, I never need to go into first, almost always just goes smoothly into reverse. On the odd occasion when it doesn't though, I do the same as you, slightly engage the clutch and it drops right in.

    I thought this might be due to how light my disc is, but JT's twin set-up should be pretty light as well.....no?

    It goes into reverse fine, no issues. That's not the issue. It is at the point of clutch engagement, even sliping the clutch that sometimes it just catches and jumps. It did this with the old input shaft and the replacement which is worn more

    Pretty sure somewhere in this thread I posted that it is quite a bit lighter than the full size ACT setup

    It does this even after modding the TOB arm per the instructions I forwarded you? Or have you not lengthened the arm yet?

    I was thinking you must have had something break loose and jam between the reverse gear in order to take it out like that, but your saying that it engages So violently that it breaks the gear instead of moving the car/ spinning the tires?

    I never modded the TOB lever for the old ACT clutch. After reading the ACT Twin precautions about setting it up in an SRT-4 for minimal travel I did end up lengthening it. I cut off the end of a spare lever then clamped it on to the current one and adjusted the length until it was minimal engagement them welded it there. Seems to work OK.

    Either the clutch is grabbing or there is something jumping in the trans... let the clutch out sloooooowly and smoothly and the car starts moving fine, then, not even moving the clutch pedal, BAM! The whole car shudders, the only time I have felt a car jump like this was my old 86 EFI Lancer's A525 with a few teeth missing off the spider gears. It was one of these shudders combined with the bearing back up plate bolts backing out and allowing the input shaft to walk that allowed for 1/2 the reverse engagement and teeth removal... and/or, maybe reverse is just not lined up enough to an extra misalignment makes it less than enough tooth engagement

    Re: BadAss SRT-Z - 2.4L / A568 - Update!!!

    Was going to agree with you that your trans has prob just been apart too many times and time for a complete different case ect. But there's nothing I can think of that would cause what you are describing in the bearings/ gears that wouldn't be obvious. (severe binding or debrise in the gears)

    Sounds like a faulty PP to me.

    Why the Plate? No issues like this in forward gears.

    Looking at the input shaft and reverse gear carnage, its the other (far) side of the gear's teeth missing... the reverse gear looks like it was past the input shaft teeth. I'll try to hold reverse from engaging so far and see if its any better....

    Are the teeth on the pedal adjuster letting go? Could be when you are feathering the pedal the block slips and it dumps the clutch.

    Re: BadAss SRT-Z - 2.4L / A568 - Update!!!

    Interesting thought, but pretty sure thats OK. With the pedal held as stationary as possible it will be OK, jump, Ok, jump

    Wondering if the reverse gear is pinched between 4th gear

    Along those lines I would be thinking about everything which is responsible for moving reverse back and forth. It's been a while since I've had a 523/568 apart so I can't think of anything specifically.

    Ya know, I almost windowed the case to see if I could see what it was doing, LOL! Looking at the reverse gear, the spacer and rubber bumper are wedged together...

    Same idea as a 520 or 555, just a little more refined with the addition of those rubber washers to keep things quieter.

    Well it should be easy to trouble shoot then. There's not much to those.
