Many people seem to like the feel of their clutch better, and said that it would prolong the life of the clutch with the clutch restrictor removed. But why would Mitsu put the restrictor in there if it makes the clutch worse? Anyone care to explain/speculate?

 

Mitsubishi doesn't have to replace clutches. They do have to replace transmissions which the restrictor helps protect. Maybe if they hadn't given everyone 0 payments for 12 mo's they could afford it.

 

Why did Mitsu put the clutch restrictor in?

Because they knew there would be lots of idiots dropping the clutch as soon as they left the dealer's lot.

 

Same reason they used the rubber line to the slave cylinder... it softens engagement of the clutch, decreasing shock to the rest of the drivetrain, at the expense of the clutch disc. So it saves your crank/tranny/differentials/driveshafts, but smokes the clutch quickly. Makes good monetary sense to a company refusing to warranty clutches while forced to warranty the rest of the drivetrain.

 

So what do you guys think, removing the restrictor to prolong the life of the clutch, or leaving it in to prolong the life of the drivetrain?

 

do you guys think they will check the for the restricter if something happend to the tranny?

 

will they void warrentys for taking them out?

 

Well if they get wind of people taking them out they might start checking that on broken transmissions, but if you don't say anything would they even notice?

 

My clutch feels real chattery when I let it out nice and slow with barely any throttle. When I slip it just a little, it feels smooth. How do you take out the restricter plate? I dont have a warranty to worry about!
