Technical Bulletin Issued by ACT

ACT discovered problems with the broaching tool used to create the splines in Miata clutch disc hubs. Two recent abnormalities are beyond acceptable wear limits and severe enough to cause incorrect fitment to the transmission input shaft.

Upon these findings, the broach was immediately retired, and alternate sourcing is being used until a new broach is made. The issue went undetected for recent production of disc hubs, some of which unfortunately are in clutch discs shipped to customers.

Steps have been taken to assure this does not happen again. ACT has obtained a production Mazda input shaft for an additional quality gate of future production.

With an abundance of caution, we are asking that any clutch disc with these part numbers built from 12/01/2017 – 06/01/18 be returned directly to ACT for exchange or repair:
