Vadim has the link that explains and shows why. It makes complete sense once you think about it.

Do you think you could find the link, I did a quick search and nothing stood out.

Possibly, depend on how it looks and which clutch side was facing it.

Not in my personal experience. I could not imagine a scenario in which I would purchase an ACT clutch again. Spring flying, cracks around the other springs, low miles, no abuse.

I think I put over 25K miles on my FX500 4 puck.

The other brand I had really good luck with was South Bend. They had some of the best customer service Ive encountered.
