Seems the ACT street disk had some wear and the rivets holding the spring hub together pulled out of the main disk plate. The Throwout bearing was in normal shape, as was the clutch fork.
So I ordered a new 2G OEM Mitsubishi clutch disk from JNZ Tuning today, along with a bunch of gaskets and orings to fix all the minor oil leaks on the engine. Total: $101 shipped. The parts should be here this friday. A new ACT Street Disk was $149 alone, compared to $67 for the OEM Disk, and frankly, I trust the stock disk more. The 2600lb pressure plate adds plenty of torque capacity, so I don't think I will have any issues even on race tires and ~450whp.
While the trans was out, I found a bunch of things that needed attention:
missing subframe gusset.
missing trans to engine bolts.
missing axle jackshaft to engine bolts.
a broken vacuum line.
radiator fan plastic mounts broke, needs brackets made to attach it right.
So while the trans is out, Im going to put some effort into cleaning up the engine bay:
Removed: AC compressor bracket, Intake manifold brace
intend to move the battery down to the steering subframe where the charcoal canister used to be.
Clean up some iffy wiring for the rad fans.
