I haven't read much on this clutch for the Evo or for imports in general. I've used Centerforce years ago on my muscle cars with great success. Anyone care to comment?

Dual-Friction For 2003 & Up Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution



Centerforce is proud to introduce their Dual-Friction ® clutch assembly for the new 2003 and up Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. The patented Dual-Friction design uses custom carbon fiber composite organic facings and a precision-engineered ball bearing pressure plate. These features enable increases in vehicle power without a heavy pedal or detriment to vehicle components. Centerforce has optimized its Dual-Friction for the Lancer’s AWD drivetrain and additional power enhancements. The Dual-Friction provides more power handling and improved clutch engagement, while retaining daily drivability. Centerforce is now taking orders for part number DF618088. Please contact Centerforce directly with questions about Centerforce or their patented technologies at 928/771-8422.

According to Centerforce, it weighs 17.2 lbs w/o the flywheel.

 

my friend had one installed on his car after his stocker went (~40k miles). i really digged the feel of it, one of the most comfortable clutches i've tried yet, but it burned out on him in like 5k miles. he's not a horrible driver, in fact, he has a 600hp rx-7 with a triple plate, so it's not like he doesn't know how to drive stick. see what other people say about the wear on this clutch. i've also heard of people messing up their TCs pretty bad with CF clutches.

 

I have to agree with you. If my memory serves me right, it was a very smooth engagement and very quiet on my SS Nova.
