I've currently got 124k miles on my 06 EVO IX MR. You know what that means. Time for new clutch, flywheel, timing belt, balance shaft belt, water pump, pull/clean throttle body and replace seals, replace TC and tranny seals, TC, tranny, rear diff fluids, PCV valve and hose. just trying to do some regular maintenance, as well as preventative mantenance with the seals and throttle body. I got 70k miles out of my stock clutch, and only around 50k out of the Exedy stage 1 that's in there now. it's going to be replaced with an ACT HDSS and streetlite flywheel.

my question to everyone is if you've ever had a clutch completely fail on you before you could get it changed out after it started slipping?


a couple pictures of the beast: mods in sig

 

124k? Jesus lol

 

wow, 124k?!?! and your worried about your clutch, lol. must be a good driver!

 

you drive that beast lil too much LOL.. i guess you already know that mine is 03 and i got 60K on it.. Are you the first owner?

as for the clutch.. mine was slipping for 2 or 3 weeks, and then it was replaced with ACT HDSS..

 

yeah, i bought it with 3 miles on it on October 22nd, 2005. it was the first MR the dealership got, and one of the first EVO IX's they got. Picked it up about 4 hours after it rolled off the truck.

 

dang i thought my 83k miles was alot..what does your compresion look like??

 

i couldn't tell you. i haven't had a compression test done. i may have that done while it's down for the other work.

 

i kinda feel better now at 53k lol

that last pic is showroom condition, did u have to repaint or anything?

 

thanks, but no, no paint. i just keep it washed and waxed. the car isn't quite in showroom condition though lol. the hood's got some rock chips, as does the ralliart lip. the rest of the car looks fine though.

that last pic was taken at around 80k-90k miles i think. the others were all taken anywhere from 106k-118k

 

HAHA HERE IS A MAN THAT KNOWS HOW TO DRIVE A EVO Way to go man 124k on a 06 thats about 35k a year on that thing thats almost 3k miles a month thats about 700 miles a week which breaks down to 100 miles a day What do you do to drive that much man

and to answer your question I don't think I have ever heard of a clutch just going completely out before showing any signs of slipping. other than clutches braking at the track of course

Oh and sick man I just realized that you live in Baton Rouge, Louisiana My younger brother is working out in there area right now

 

Everyone with an Evo should drive it this much. It kind of makes me sick when people come on here with a 2003 VIII and only have 30k or less on it. Sure, they sometimes have six or seven hundred horsepower or more, but what good is it when those horses sleep through most days? 124k and his car is still looking good. Keep it up.

 

first off, thanks lol. secondly though, the clutch IS slipping. i was just wondering if anyone's had one completely go out after it started slipping, and if so, how long did it take? i don't mean racing and launching on a slipping clutch, just driving it, and taking it easy, babying the thing (which is killing me because i'm in the habit of using WOT to take me to visit my good freind Redline every chance i get)

 

You, my friend, just made my signature!!!! LOL

Josh

 

mad miles yo! daaaammmmnnnn lol

 

You drive that thing like literally 100 miles a day?
