Hey i got a swapped a few weeks ago with a ACT street strip clutch kit... after 600 miles i get this horribe noise from the clutch when depressing the pedal... So im thinking its the TOB but it's too weird for it to be broken coz its brand new...

Are the noises normal for an ACT strip.street clutch?i bought a new ACT tob but i heard they suck so should i use a OEM TOB instead?

Smells like a bad throw out bearing. Use the OEM one.

a quick thing i learned when i got into the automotive industry is that new parts dont mean good parts.
