Hey guys is it normal to replace a clutch with 13k miles on my car i thought that stock clutch should last a little bit longer. What clutch should i buy? I'm planning to do a lot of autocross racing and have around 450whp

 

yes its normal for a clutch to go out if you abuse it....haha...but if it broke under normal driving then take it to the dealer

 

Nobody to blame but yourself.

 

well actaually it happend at the drag track but i never thought it's gonna burn so fast

 

mine messed up on my 2005 evo after 3000 miles.

 

Well if you drag race your evo then a fried clutch is to be expected, especially the stock one.

 

You have around 450 whp? Running race gas on a crazy tune are ya? Please tell me how this is so?

Just curious cuz I have a 9 with similar mods that only dynoed at 325.......maybe I have a dud?

 

actually i have around 350whp right know my target is to have 450whp

my car is tuned for 93octane gas and 24psi but in about 2 weeks i'm gonna have my ecu reflashed by Martin at AMS it's gonna be tunne for 100octane gas and 26psi with 272 hks cams

 

wicked man.......well good luck with it.

P.S. If your going back to another stock clutch, check out the Clutch restrictor pill removal. There is some mixed opinions about it, but most say it helps with clutch life.

 

See this clutch poll for a start:

If you went through the clutch in that short of time, then you are definitely letting it slip too much either intentionally or unintentionally through the restrictor in the hydraulics. What happens is that the material gets beyond it's heat tolerance and breaks down at the surface. This happens over and over and each time you lose a layer of material and you run out prematurely.

 

i just talked to Eric from ams and he adviced me to get exedy stage one clutch for now and then when i hit around 450-500whp change it for twin plate exedy clutch
