Just hit 3000 miles a couple days ago yesterday clutch started slipping bad today almost not driveable. Dropped it off at the dealership tonite hopefully they won't be gay about it.

 

Sorry my friend, but they are about to stick it to ya, and I am talking the oh so gay way!!! their are alot of people fighting it some legally, don't let them push you around or bend you over.

you need to flip mode and stick it to them, And stick it to them hard enough that it satisfies all of us who have lost a clutch.

sorry, goodluck

 

mine always slips in the morning and i dont even have an evo. is it just when your car is cold?

 

i just dont understand how someone can go through a clutch in 3000 miles

i have 11300 miles on my stock clutch and its holding up fine

 

Well I still have their letter of recomendation from the main HQ thats going back all negative if I get the slightest BS but the guy who sold me my EVO is really cool and said it should be no problem but I won't know for sure till tommorow. But I gaurentee you I don't plan on paying for anything .

 

No if I pressed on the gas more than a inch or so it will rev to redline then grab it was horrible I'm definately going to get new clutch, pressure plate, and flywheel and if not all hell is going to break loose I was wired today when I got to the dealership I was just waiting for them to say somthing I didn't like.

 

I test drove an Evo - it had four miles on it. When I got on the freeway, I accelerated under full throttle to about 100mph. After I merged with traffic and got down to the speed of traffic, i smelt burnt clutch. At the time I thought maybe the brakes where stuck or something - it was just sooo odd to drive a BRAND NEW car and have the clutch slip.

I didn't shift the car unusually hard or drive it beyond its intended use.
IMO, the Evo clutch is insufficient for the car. ie. Defective.

I don't know what Mitsu's done to solve this problem, but Mitsu should do the right thing, and recall the clutch.

I swear if my OZ clutch burned out after 3000miles I'd punch someone in the head, if i was an evo owner I'd feel sooo burned..

 

wierd 15K and counting on stock clutch hope its last to next year. They claim 30K plus on the clutch. Yours sounds like something went wrong they should cover it.

 

I am actually hoping y clutch will go soon, I want an Exaddy Twin plate, that alone will increase performance all around.


Mine has 12,000 on it, good as new.

 

I'm guessing bad design that needs to be improved. So many people lost their clutch including mine at 8k. If you drive 11,300 mi mostly on hiways you probably wouldn't have to worry about it. I'm guessing it's the city people that wears out their clutch before 20k miles.

 

Mine just got fix, have the clutch, housing, throw-out bearing, flywheel replaced , cost me around 2k duhhhhh..

 

ss clutch line and restrictor removal and it should last alot longer

 

2 track days, 10 AutoX's, 1 drag day (4 trips down the track), 6700 miles and clutch still feels great. No problems here.

Still have the restrictor and factory clutch line.

 

Sean Hall, your assertions that the clutch is weak and unsuitable for the car are not very well founded. Consider that you drove a car that was BRAND NEW (i.e. the clutch disk was never really used and hadn't broken in) and that you probably were not used to the clutch feel/engagement. I'd guesstimate that more than 95% of Evo owners have not had a clutch issue yet.

Your statement is akin to driving a car with brand new brakes, standing on them from 60-0mph relatively hard, then smelling brakes and wondering, "Damn, these brand new brakes are already smelly!".
