if you plan on keeping the evo and doing some mods later down the line, Try to set a weekend out and turn some wrenches. You will learn alot about your evo. feel free to pm for any questions. theres a thread "how to change a clutch" which is very helpful.

 

No, dont try to change the clutch on your evo if its your first time. It is complex compared to other cars so if you mess something up their goes more $$$

 

I have to disagree on your statement Night479. even if i get the 350Z, i still have to have someone change the clutch for me, 350z is a good car but not my cup of tea, and i doubt all evo owners knows how to change their clutch. moreover, evo is the only car i like.


@kanyonkid I'm not looking to mod anything in my car, just want to keep it as-is and it's more than enough for me. i will do my rotors and brakes, but not drivetrain stuff or engine stuff. i want to learn it, but not on my car, maybe like helping someone on theirs so i can watch and learn first. and i have to get the job done ASAP because I need the car everyday because I won't get it done within 2 days.


@WolfsFang That's what I just said earlier, if i mess something up, there will be more money to fix... and I know I'm gonna mess something up because I've tried doing something and most of the time I will mess it up (talking about my old cars), not that every single time i fail, but just not risking it on my evo...

 

my car has similar power modifications as yours. i went with the exedy HD "stage 1" (i hate that stage crap but it has a ~2700lb clamp load) clutch rated for 402 ft/lbs of torque and exedy chromoly flywheel and have been happy with the combo. it has held up to a year of autoX with no issues so far. but i am not drag racing or abusing the clutch on launches.

it has been a great combo for daily driver and for a weekend AutoXer. I put this in after my Exedy "Stage 2" died due to improper installation from the place the former owner had it installed. to make a long story short if the factory flywheel is resurfaced too much your new 3 puck clutch will only last 6 months...

when i was doing the math on whether to do the job myself it was $500+ clutch and flywheel to have a local shop do the work (VS motorsports). figure in all the fluids and it was really closer to $350 in labor after you add in the diaqueen, GL5, & ATF for ACD.

for $350 someone else could deal with it, and i would have someone else to yell at if something failed prematurely.

dropped the car off the night before and it was ready to be picked up the next day when i was off work. saved myself from a saturday swearing at my car.

 

for basically a stock car get a spec stage 2 or act street disc will be what you need resurface ur flywheel like 20 -50 bucks @ a machine shop , i paid 500 to have mine put in also fluids i used were ams- oil and were like 75 bucks

 

ouchh ın your country(usa) labor ıs very expensıve i changed my clutch last week with 150$for labor but ın our country parts are expensıve if i bought oem clutch set w/flywheel from mıtsubıshı they want 1700$ because of that, i buy parts from usa and my friend who lives in san diego, send it to me to turkey shipping to Turkey costs 150$ for clutch kit and it takes 3 days good deal i think

 

^^^that is a sh*tload of smiley faces haha

 

I'll sell you an Excedy triple disk, :]

 

how much are you selling a exedy triple for? pm me

 

Thanks for the offer but i think that's a little bit too extreme for me. All i want is something like stage 1 and a light weight flywheel, that's all, hoping to get it around $700-$850. i don't think i need that kind of clutch... do i??

 

Do you need it? Not at all. But I guarantee no clutch will feel as smooth and shift as quick as the Excedy triple disk. I mean this thing is easier than stock to drive with, no lie.

 

i know, of course it will cuz it cost almost triple money like stage 1, same as it's name.
i just don't have that kind of money to spend. basic clutch should do me good since i only drive it to work and hang out. not really for track.
just saving for wedding...

 

Holy quickness batman!!!!!!

 

I'll install your clutch if you come to socal

 

For free? even for free, i don't think i can make it to socal. lol. thanks for the offer tho.
