yes i do, unfortunately i haven't had any problems with mine (knock knock), i agree that mitsu did a ****ty job....but who's to say that a replacement will be as bad? just because the clutch sucks in an evo, does that mean you wouldn't buy another evo?

maybe its a bad batch of clutches....mitsu will probably never fess to it...thats too much loss for them...

Do a search for Exedy Clutches....this has been discussed before to many times ..
I will post this info again so everyone who toast there clutch, can get a Exedy for a great price....


Well I finally bought a clutch -
Below is a list of US Distributors for Exedy Clutch. Under each Business is a brief description of my experience with each;

AAA Imports 800-227-1523
If you notice, it’s the same company as Rockland Standard Gear. So when you call AAA, you get Rockland. I called and you have to leave a message and someone will call you back. When they did, they did not show a listing for the EVO7 or in that case any Lancer?

Rockland Standard Gear 800-227-1523
Same as above

Clutches Unlimited 714-373-6155
Spoke to David. The most expensive place I called - $1590 was jobber price and list price was $2866.00 plus shipping. Don’t think I will be calling them back.

World Pac 510-742-8900
Called and they would not sell to me cause I didn’t have an account with them. So I had to call there dealer and they could not find it listed.

Fenwick 410-787-1723
Called and they cant get it!

Clutch Man 800-725-8824
Talked to Sherwood. Very helpful. Had 1 of the best prices $1425.00 including shipping.

Foreign Auto Tech 650-589-3100
Talked to Chase. The 2nd best price $1415.00 plus shipping.

Alcon 317-244-9694
Talked to Brain. They have a twin plate for $900. BUT, that does not include a flywheel.

Carolina Auto Supply 800-438-4070
Last place to call, talked to James $1153.00 plus shipping. Even though the best price, they never call you back. Waited, waited, waited, ended up calling them back after 2 days. Well $1250 shipped. Bought it!

Below are some of the places overseas that I have been trying to get prices from;

IRS Motorsports - Japan 011-03-3696-7960
They have it, dah - $1448.90 shipped.

Japan Parts 011-03-5382-7364
Talked to Gram. Waited 10 days on an email from them with price and availability. To date, I still have not received an email or call.

Co-ordSport
Don’t even ask. There twin plate was $17??. When they said that, I lost count.

I hope this helps everyone out there who has a EVO7 in the states.
