buy an act HD street and let them change it out. They might only charge about $100-$150.

How did you swing that bro? I'm still trying to get them to talk to me about my 2nd gear syncros.... seems to go in one ear and out the other.

don't get you're clutch change...when I had to get my trans worked on they told me that my act clutch with 2k miles is toasted and needed to be replaced. I told them not to and the car ran perfectly for 5k miles and I sold it for another car.

6 puck discs look like there is very little material on them brand new. I wouldn't worry about it unless you've noticed slip or have cooked it quite a bit.

I live in Northern IL and the district managers for the service warrentys are very strict, I jus took my 05 evo into Biggers in Elgin for 1st and 2nd gear issues and they voided my powertrain warrenty due to minor mods to the car, the dealership took pics of my mods and sent them in to the district manager then were sent to Mitsu to be put on file, they put a red flag on my vin so any claims would be denied for as long I own the car. So jus beware of this, if you wanna keep your warrenty dont mod or put your car back to stock and hope they cover it. Hope this helps!
