no problems with mine. I bought a oem unit though. I run this on my turbo car with a act xtss setup.

well just confirmed it..it was not the cable.. Apparently ACT clutches suck donkey ****.WORSE COMPANY IN THE FU&KIN PLANET.
With the car off it goes into all gears.. with car on it wont let me... now turning on the car with 1st gear in place and my foot all the way down on the clutch the car starts moving AS I TURN IT ON without me lettin off on the clutch peddle..
apparently the pressure plate for some odd reason isnt done engaging..

which will now not let me go to the convention due to money shortage..

i ordered a competition clutch.. which ive dealt with in the past.. an to date those are the only clutches i would buy.. everything else to me is crap. dont preach to me cause itll land on deaf ears.

also
the OEM b13 clutch cable does work with p10 same exact fit i used the adapter my car came with .
note*
both p10 an b13 clutch cable are the exact same length an design. so if u have someone with a p10 cable hanging around an u need to move around u can use it on your b13 an vice versa

I really wanted to go... but 300$ of my gas money,hotel is gone.. things happen for a reason.. i will go eventually.. till then. your all secret agents.

Danny, It could just be a combination of clutch cable stretching and your tranny bracket flexing. I have a Andreas Tranny bracket and it feels great with consistent pedal pressure instead of fluctuation like usual (jwt pp and se disc).

it cant explain why the clutch is still engaged.


with the car on in neutral it wont let me go into gear

now with car off i put it in 1st gear then turn car on .. the instant i turn it on its moving as if im lettin off the clutch peddle. mind you this is on new oem nissan cable...

im gonna tighten it to the balls tomorrow.. but i have my doubts..

All of the symptoms you describe can be caused by a stretched or maladjusted cable.

I would think so but all testing has lead to one explaination

1. stuck throw out bearing /
2. pressure plate is not cooperating

after i take it apart ill confirm the find even if im wrong but .. all seriousness i wish it was just the cable.. but i know it aint. i adjusted it to the max. with adaptor

in that case be careful. I had a problem like this a long time ago with an ACT extreme PP and my cable ended up ripping right through my firewall because I kept trying to use it and it was too hard to push down.
