so this wump-wump-wump feeling someone described on here about when taking off in the evo driving normaly, what is this actually?? is this the clutch slipping on normal take off??? it feels like wheel hop, and you can feel it in the cabin, but i dont think it is wheel hop at all...i am at 18,000 miles on my evo now and think its maybe finally time to start thinking about a different clutch?? I would love to get one of the twin disks, but i dont know if i can let my wallet let that much out?? it will be hard to see that much on a clutch...so right now i am thinking about one of the ACT kits, or maybe the RPS, or Clutchmaster stage III...what is your alls opinion??

I'm at 20,000miles. My clutch is slipping. Not so horrible as you guys are tho. It boggs a bit on the first and second and third then fourth and fifth.

It just feels like the car isn't going fast enough.

But it's still drivable and it's doing ok for daily driving...

14k miles and my stock clutch went out. My mods are buschur stage 4 which was installed at 8k. I had about 15-20 launches at the dragstip and it went out b/c of the pressure plate. The discs were still only about 50% worn out. I now have the Cusco and its much better.
