one hard launch and, clutch maybe gone?
Thought after 7600 easy miles, I would see what it would really do from a stand still. I reved to only about 5500rpm and dumped the clutch. I't seemed to launch hard but really smelled the clutch burning? is that normal? and now the clutch is acting weird when I try and get the car going, kind of shutters, don't notice any slipping, just the shuttering getting going.

ah the evo has a heavy plate so i'm not sure if chatter is normal or not... but my guess is it has some scoring on the flywheel/pressure plate and thats where the chatter is comming from... mines chattered from day one so i ahve no idea whats going on with the clutch but it does it most when cold.. i wish mitsu would jsut recall the damn clutch and the detonation

clutches will only wear when they're heated up and slipped, no? The same concept with brake pads i think. When they're hot and worked a lot - like going down a long downhill and braking - it will wear the brakes out faster.
