I've learned an important lesson: Never launch an evo in over 90 degree weather in Oklahoma.

My clutch is starting slip when I give gas in 3rd or 4th gear. Fortunantly, I can still drive around normally. I took the car back to the dealership today, and they were going to charge me $390 for parts and $770 for labor. I said no thank you. Other shops said they would do it for around $475.

I don't want another p.o.s. Mitsu clutch on this thing. So I'm deciding if I want to spend the money on the twin plate exedy. Has anyone had any problems with crankwalk. I've seen numerous threads praising the clutch, but I want to be sure.

 

21k - is this the first time you've tried launching?

Just curious if you've babied it or given it hell up to this point.

 

No, my first launch was at 7k than i did it a couple more times between 10-15k. I don't like to launch because it puts a lot of stress on the trany. Normaly I gun it from a rolling start when I drive hard.

 

Exedy is the best. it will cost you around $2000 installed

 

I don't have firsthand experience with any of thse clutches because I am still on the OEM clutch, but I have heard alot of good things about the HKS twin plate, so you might want to look at that one also... as long as price isn't an issue.

 

same, ive heard alot of good things bout the hks clutch

 

Ive heard the exedy hyper clutches are worth the money from many differnt sources.

 

hmm i love my cusco twin carbon disk clutch = ) mmm carbon

 

If you don't mind me asking, how much did the clutch cost (including install, etc.), and how many miles have you put on it?

 

well clutch is 1400 i think cheapest ive seen and install is normaly like 500 so u can figure that much maybe less and ive got about 4k miles on it so far and ive loved every last one of them - )

 

I have the Exedy single plate and I am happy with it.

BUT, look at this thread, Mitsu may be tightening the screws on aftermarket clutches.

This guy is in a slightly different situation that most of us, but the tidbit about the clutch voiding engine warranties may be a signal of things to come.

 

I put in the HKS GD MAx twin disc and I love it ... The best clutch I have ever had...

 

MrBubbler, u have the cusco twin disc or single disc clutch?

 

Be happy you made it to 21K. A lot of people never got that far. I'm still decidgin which clutch to get.

 

yeah like me i made 11k.......
