Ever? Yes. Do all owners of ACTs have that problem? No. But less than a year after I got mine installed the thrust bearings crapped out at 55K miles, the crank walked, and I'm looking at a new short block.

Unless your car is a 100% track car stay away from puck clutches.

Have there ever been any thrust bearing issues with the act clutch for an s2000?
I know there was a lot when I was in the DSM world. Those bearings did not like the extra load from the act pressure plates.

Stick to OEM thrust bearing!

Im sure It would be wise to disarm the clutch safety switch if you have an act, as those morning start up seem to produce the most impact and wear on the thrust bearings.
