10,000 miles and 1 dead clutch. Finally started slipping this weekend, sigh.

 

I second that at 9600 miles. I went with the new ACT for $499.

 

how is the act clutch?

 

10,000 miles and the clutch is completely gone. Anxiously awaiting a cusco twin disc clutch.

 

Where did you pick that ACT clutch up at?

 

So is the Act installed yet? If so what do you think? If not, whats taking you so damn long!

I am closing on 9300 miles and am starting to get nervous!

N10S

 

800 miles

no problems!! woohoo

 

How much are installs.. and where should i go.. I don't know if i have the cash to drop down 1100+ for a clutch tho.... =/

 

Mine went at 2700 miles. Exedey twin plate going in as we speak.

 

I have an extra exedy single disk if anyone needs a good clutch.

 

Isnt the clutch warranteed for 12,000 miles? Maybe you can have ACT clutch installed at the dealership for free, and maybe pick up a few accesories (oil filter, tranny fluid) for the clutch?

 

That might work, but Mitsu service sucks and they aren't willing to cut any one a break. The clutch is not covered by waranty, they give you that "normal wear" BS.

 

Hey StriktyBidness, I like the disclaimer! I don't know if it will work or not but I like it!

 

OK what do you guys think of this
Last week
I took my car in for clutch repair. At 8000 mile.
and they will not covered by waranty. And yes they gave me that normal wear BS.
But as of monday my clutch really starting to slip so bad i had to take it in for replacement. Plus my stage 3 clutch master came on friday. My car is still in the shop waiting for them to put in the cluctmaster stage 3.
Today i got a call from the dealership. that they have taking the factory clutch out. It looked burnt. and the flywheel has alot of burnt on it. becasue i know for 1 full week i was driving my car with the clucth sliping. But what is puzzzling me is the disk it self look like it got a good 80% of meat still left on it, just the
otherside of the disk looks burn.
To me it leave me to belave that
the presure plate is bad or something,or its not holding up. Can it be something else. I have never race my car at a track or on the streets. I have a 100 mile round trip from home to work each day.
90% of my driving is freeway going about 70-80 mile per hour. So
if my clutch disk is not worn out. Do you think i have a waranty case? Last week when i took my car in they had a rep. drive it around.They didnt even take the tranny out or nothing he just drove it and see that the car was starting to slip. But said it was normal and wuold not cover my waranty. But after looking at my disk it looks odd to me. Do you guys think they will take a 2nd look at it now and see it not normal and cover my claim?

 

I have read on other threads that a lot of the slipping is due to a clutch hose that expands under pressure. Search threads for clutch fix! for more explanation.
