I need help. Today as I was driving my evo i felt something weird. I was in third gear and decide to give it a small punch. As I was punching it I felt like "something was slipping" I dont think its the clutch because it odesnt "slip when i shift its after i shift and leave it there for 5 seconds then give some gas i feel rpm's go up and see the tach go up as well then fall back before it sinally grips and it will keep doing this has anyone encounterred this problem?

 

Sounds to me like the clutch is slipping.

 

Classic clutch symptoms.

 

clutch.time for a twin disc

 

That is a 100% Clutch probelm, did you drop the clutch recently on High RPM??. I had the exact same probblem after a race, changed it with a Excedy twin plate, VERY NICE!!

 

Mine did the same thing. It is definately the clutch. I went with the ACT and driving with it has been great.

 

Yeh my evo is doing that right now w/only 10,000miles on it...so the dealership is going to look at it and prolly to tell me to go f!&* myself and then i'll buy a twin plate clutch...sooo...how much is a good twin plate clutch???and how long should it last...saying that I would race the car maybe about once every two months...

 

Well how many times did you launch on that clutch?

 

You are going to spend at least $1200 for a twin disk clutch. Add another $350-$500 to install.

 

nino has a sale for $1199 shipped Exedy Twin. A friend of mine from up north has over 300 launches on his and he was fine. I have one on the way to me now....

 

Sport Compact Car installed an Exedy twin disk in their project Evo and claimed they could launch all day with the sucker without it breathing heavy, plus it was extremely daily-driver friendly.

I've done 10 autocross events this year alone, and expect an Exedy twin disk to appear in my future at some point.

 

What's labor cost to install a clutch on an EVO?

Thanks

 

The cost probably depends on who does it and what type of clutch is involved in the install. Use LateSleeper's figure of $350 - $500 as a guide. That sounds reasonable.

 

ACT all the way. Less than half the cost of twin disk clutch. I just put mine in this week. So far I love it.

 

But that's not comparing apples to apples. A twindisk will always be better les some high pressure plate carbon singledisks.
