In my 03 evo my clutch went out at 5000 miles, in my 06 i dont want the same problem although i wont be racing it anytime soon either so i dont suspect i will....but every answer to the question about how the evo clutches are is the same, it depends on how you drive, if you know how to drive a standard then the clutch is fine... so my question is this..... anyone out there who is willing to write up a detailed explanation about how to drive using your clutch would be beneficial to people out there who may not know as much or may not have the experience as some others.... so if going thru step by step of accelerating, braking, launching techniques, shifting, downshifting, downshifting to accelerate quickly. i know all this sounds stupid, but i dont have the experience to write it up myself. i know what i do when i drive but an explanation may help others as well as something i may be doing wrong.....

 

Shouldn't this be in the "driving techniques" forum?

Anyways here are a few pointer:
1. Let your clutch out smoothly, not too fast so that you jolt the tranny and shock the gears causing fatigue, but not too slow so that you over heat and fry the clutch.
2. Try you get you car moving with the lowest required rpm. I can get mine moving a 1500rpm with ease, the lower the rpm you get your car moving the less the stress to the tranny and clutch. Most should be able to do it at 2500 rpm easily.

These are a few points just for daily driving and keeping the longevity of your stock clutch .... I'll add to this reply slowly as I am too lazy to type up everything right now ...
