i was driving home after dropping my g/f off tonight and while traveling at 45 in 3rd, i punched the gas, the car rev'd to 6,5 or so and then back down to 4 and took off, not at all during this time had i depressed the clutch, can ne1 inform me on what the hell is wrong with my car? its never been drag raced and has less than 4k miles on it

 

clutch?

 

sounds like the clutch slipped but that is odd that It would slip when your already going 45...

 

it continued to do this all the way home, has my clutch already gone out?!?!

 

ttt

 

yeah..i think its the clutch also..mine just went out...it lose grip when i hit boost @ 3500 then cathes again and just hual when it gets to 5000...i replace the clutch, problem solved...sorry yours only have 4k on it

 

My EVO has 7,000 miles on it and the clutch still works like the day I got it. That sucks dude. Won't warranty cover it though, if everything is still stock.

 

No they won't. I was in the same situation. Mitsu sucks ****. They are on the verge of going broke so they don't cover anything. Good luck.

 

in the manual it states the clutch plate has a 12 month 12,000 mile warranty, but doesnt cover normal wear and tear, so unless they expect these clutches to wear completely out in less than 4k miles, they are putting a brand new clutch in, and if they expect the clutch to wear out, its off to a lawyer i go cuz this will be my 3rd trip for warranty work and i've had the car 3 months

 

Yeah... your clutch is gone, and if you're stock, Mitsu owes you a new clutch. Ask people in your area which dealers are cool about stuff (some are much worse than others) and then just take it in and tell them "something's wrong"... Don't let them try to pin anything on you!!!

 

BTW, my clutch went out when I had 12,095 miles... no joke

 

Oh yeah, one more thing... when you take it in, don't say:
