Amen Brotha! At least one or two vendors on these forums would dispute the worth of t-bolt clamps but once you tighten those suckers down you're not going to have a leak.

Man, I haven't seen a mess that big since I rebuilt my first (and last) Porsche flat six! And I didn't even break or screw up anything...

 

If I were you I would run that car over a bridge then collect insurance.

 

why? So i dont have scratch marks on my tranny? and a broken ear piece that doesnt concern me too much? and if it does i can get it welded. It is a big mess but u guys act as if he poured acid into the tranny and threw soil into the engine. The car's done, it runs right? I am not a perfectionist, if the tranny has scratches n what not, im not gonna launch the car off a bridge. The boost issue, i talked to 2k4evoviii and he found out what was wrong with it within 2 seconds...the copper pellets int he vacuum lines running from the turbo prob fell out cuz the mechanic d/c the lines. I'm happy with my evo and just cuz a mechanic decided to install the clutch THE LONG WAY doesnt make me wanna throw my car off a cliff. Things can be fixed. Not much fixing to do so im satisified. And i went ahead and paid him his 300 dollars....haha jk didnt pay him.

 

Hes not a family friend anymore. Kick him out and make him pay for everything he damaged.

 

omfg~~!~~!~ Ive never seen anyone take the entire motor out of the vehicle for a clutch job.. geezus

 

did you ever get your car to run?

 

with crappy long install like this, that clutch better last you forever! and you better run 11's!

lol

 

hell look at him,if thats the guy in the pic that said he can do it.if he comes near your car,RUN A WAY!!!

 

Those bastard Evo's are a ***** to work on starting from the Evo 7 onwards unfortunately has to have its engine dropped due to its ACD diff housing getting in the way of the cross member.Trying to pry the bearing off can still be done from the top but to refit the entire assembly is a ***** to do....
I'm avoiding a clutch change on my JDM 8 with the 6 speed for this reason.... Mechanics here in Malaysia love to scratch and grease the rest of the parts on the engine bay...Hate that!!

 

Turbotrix can do an install in 3hrs max. Thanks for the laugh. Next time have the professionals do it

 

Speechless

 

After reading this post seeing those pics IM AFRAID TO HAVE MY CLUTCH REPLACED.

 

Dammm! that's crazy!

 

that guy is lucky that he wasnt working on my evo.

good luck with the car.

 

Thanks for all the laughs. That clutch job looked like something you'd see where I'm from. If you drive downtown past Autozone on a weekend you can see some coon-asses taking the engine out in the parking lot. LOL. Using a tree and a cumber-long to take and engine out. I am glad you got your car back together, but if I'm you I'm spray painting that crack, and paying someone to detail the hell out of the car so I can trade it in on an MR.
