It is meant to be the week link in the system so there is less chance of hurting anything else in the drive line.

From what I have read it is the flywheel that is causing a lot of clutch failures. The stock flywheel doesnt dissipate the heat fast enough for the clutch to cool down. Once the clutch gets overheated it will slip and ultimately fail.

i think they just used the same clutch from the lancer to the evo and obviously that doesnt work too well.

Maybe they used the same flywheel as well. That would suck.
