I am just wondering what problems people have come across with their new EVOs. I hear that the clutch is weak, but what other problems have people had? I don't know to much about the EVO world, and am interested in finding out. So please share your stories cause i need

 

 

i have done a search and didn't find anything to common and so i was wondering if i am missing something.

 

The clutch being weak is debatable. According to ACT it is a real good factory clutch...stronger/better made than the Sti's. As with any car there are different issues here and there..there hasn't been any big issues. Decel noise is an issue for some..but it is normal. The clutch is an issue for some also..but when it comes to clutches proper breakin is very important. An improper breakin and other factors can significantly shorten clutch life.
So far the only "issue" I've had is the tiny paint chips that are occurring near the lower edge behind rear door.

 

the problems.
Decel buzz
bad clutch
passenger rattle

but that is not happening to everyone the only thinkg i have is the passenger rattle

 

clutch throwout bearing already out at 2700 miles but other then that LOVIN IT.

 

Potential thieves and arsehoes

Well I haven't dropped my tranny for it yet cause its not really that annoying yet and the only trust worthy dealership around me is about an hour and a half away so I will deal for now. They told me they will cover it when ever I can get it in because I already notified them of the problem. The other thing I forgot to say was 2nd gear syncro sucks on power shifting from high RPM's. But I can get around that also so no biggee. Still LOVE the car.

 

Hmm it seems as though my car shifts great at high rpms although i havent exceeded 5k rpm, but any thing lower it engages with a little noise. Ironic?
