Do not but this clutch. Horrible block out issues. It was so bad I could barely get down the track with out missing a gear. Block out caused me to grind hears a lot. Now I don't have 4th gear. Save your money get an exedy twin disk.

Great clutch! Good if you can't (or don't want) the Exedy twin.

It seems like you had a defective clutch or it was wrongly installed. There are thousands of Evo owners that have had the clutch for over 50k miles.

or u suck at driving.

if u get locked out of gears, adjust the clutch peddle. i adjusted my clutch pedal once right after installing the clutch and ive never had an issue since.

I do apologize for the typing errors. I posted that from my phone and I was a little intoxicated. I also had tried adjusting the clutch pedal in many configurations and was never able to get it right. I do agree on the point that it may have been installed wrong. I had a shop install it here locally in Cincinnati. It was there first Evo clutch. Now besides the block out issues the clutch held very well and by no means was it difficult to use. It got me many 1.6 60 foot times. So by no means is it a bad clutch. If you look into it tho I am not the only horror story. Please forgive me for being blunt and indescriptive last night. By the way have we met. I live in mason Ohio. I used to live in liberty township.
