Ok so I'm new to the evo world and this forum. I have an 05 evo 8 rs with basic mods. I believe my clutch is going or something in the front driveshaft. At about 4k under load the car will rev out like it is spinning the tires. I am not sure which clutch is in it. The guy just said a stage 4 six puck and that Jon Shepard built the transmission. What will a new clutch and install cost me. Give suggestions on which clutch to buy. The car makes 313 awhp and I don't plan to make over 400 anytime soon.

 

a stock clutch is good for the amount your pushing which is like 280 the twin disk from exedy should cost 1 k or more for the twin-disk if that's what your up for plus its noisy with that high pitch squeel. lab out will prolly be 500 plus the cost of fluids.

 

No reason for a twin at your power level.

 

Its prudent to replace the clutch if its slipping. At your power level you could use the OEM clutch assembly as a replacement.

What happens to the rpms past 4k? Do you lose rpms and power?

 

The rpms increase and the car doesnt go any faster. Do i need to replace the whole clutch assemby or get new disks. I dont want to put a stock clutch in it. Since eventually i do plan to build the car. The car did have bald tires for a bit when i didnt have much money. Could that have messed up my front driveshaft or axles. Thanks for your guys help.

 

Bald tires don't wreck axles. A stock disc, cover and throw-out bearing can be had for $350. Well, by the time sundries are included - close to $500.

 

Ok can you guys tell me what is a good clutch for the price. something i can use for aggressive mountain driving. i have seen bunches of exedy twin disc for sale that need rebuild but idk if there worth it.

 

I went with an Exedy Stage 1 HD and lightweight flywheel. Handles 425hp

 

You can always go into 4th gear at a lower RPM and floor it for a few seconds to see if it is slipping. I don't know how accurate that is, I was recommended to try that by a tuner

 

It doesn't matter which gear it's in. Once your floor it and the turbo spools it will rev out. I'm trying to find a shop in sc to do it but idk of any. I might have His Motorsports in nc do it since there the one who I had tune the car.

 

It's easier to spot in higher gears though.

 

Contact them and see what their recommendation is for a clutch. You should be fine with a single plate clutch such as a Competition Clutch Stage 2. They are pretty affordable and an option a lot of people are using now.

 

Stick to like a Clutchmasters, exedy, or ACT stage 1. I wouldnt recommend anything more than that unless its a weekend car. I had a exedy stage 2 for a daily driver and it was a nightmare.

 

I went with the completion clutch stage 3. His Motorsport will be installing it when the clutch arrives. I can't wait. Goodbye 6 puck

 

how did the install go? Problems solved? have any pics of the old clutch? sorry to ask so many questions on an older post, but my car was having the same issue before i put it into storage.
