Hey,
I just picked up an Evo IX after trying to find one with low miles, yet the one I purchased seems to have a throw out bearing rattle with 10,000 miles on it. Is this typical and is there anything i should worry about? I am also not sure if it is the stock clutch or not, based on what I've found out from friends that own them it seems a little different then stock, and the fact that the car has an AMS front mount with Wahlbro fuel pump + an extremely clean set up makes me feel as though it was used for track purposes before and the kid probably stripped everythingn else off before selling it....

anybody heard of this before?? suggestions?

Thanks

 

There is a little plug about the size of a 50 cent peice on the tranny that you remove when doing a clutch job. If you can jack up the car you may be able to stick a small inspection mirror (the ones that are the size of a quarter) and have a look at the clutch.

That would be my suggestion to determine what clutch you have.

I think it was evomoto who used to have a clutch how-to. That should show you the hole I am talking about. It is used to disconnect the clutch fork from the TOB....If I remember correctly. It has been a while since I pulled my tranny.

 

^^^ yes you are correct... evomoto.com has a complete write up...

 

My TOB always chattered on the stock clutch, and even chatters a little bit on my new ACT HDSS when your foot is off the clutch pedal.. The shop that put it in says "it is pretty common from an aftermarket clutch." But I don't know, mine didn't do it as bad with the stock clutch as it does with the ACT. Mine only did it when you weren't pushing in the pedal??

 

Its normal due to the way our TOB works...

 

I'm glad to hear that.. For sure.

 

Thanks guys, not gonna fret about it then...now I just gotta figure out my battery situation...damn thing died on me today when it dipped cold and I have an AMS intercooler / piping with light weight oddessey battery. I want to fit a battery that works better for it, but I can't find one that will fit the spot...

Anybody know anything?? There is also a thread posted by me about this, gotta figure it out fast cuse I can't keep jumping my car.

 

I live in bucks county also if you want to compare noises, mine also chatters. its normal as long as its not really loud

 

Yeah man? where in bucks county do you live? I'm down in Doylestown
