Wouldn't over torquing the clutch/flywheel initially (if that is what happened) kind of mess with integrity of the parts? Also, if he didn't pull the compressor of the engine, wouldn't the a/c be completely contaminated?

 

Looks like to me this guy is using your car as a guinea pig to learn and doesn't care what happens to it. At least READ the instructions. I hate arrogant mechanics.

 

No you dont- you shouldn't have to remove the motor/trans to change
the clutch. Though people do it because it makes the whole process
easy and painless. B/C once you get those two components out- it's like
cheese installing the new clutch. I'm sorry but give me the number to that guy and i'll call him and tell him he's a f*** idiot just my .02- i feel really bad for you too!

 

oh btw i am having second thoughts about doing this install myself along with some buddies..

 

well the flywheel was torqued down by hand. along wit the pressure plate...but the PP wasnt overtorqued

 

This has got to be the most horrific "tuner" or "do it yourself" post I have ever seen.

I'm afraid to ask, how many miles on this car??

 

HAHA thats great! You can do it bro confidence and tools are the key! Hit me up and ill walk you through it if you want!

You already made a mistake so I would recommend you find a way to get your car to a shop and have them to the rest of the work. If you cant move the car at all then hire someone to come over and finish the fob. The damage is done and it can get worse. Dont try to save money anymore and just do it right. Good luck.

 

will do when the time comes. winter break sounds real good.
btw the cams i got from you are working great!
thanks

 

YOUR FLYWHEEL SPINS UP TO 7500 RPM!!! You'd better make sure that thing is torqued down right. Be sure to use some red or green loctite on the flywheel bolts while you're at it. If the flywheel comes loose while you're racing, the results can be CATASTROPHIC.

 

WOW Unbeliveable. WTF I can't even comprehend.

They say this engine is bullet proof.

To bad they didn't make it shady tree mechanic proof

I had some of our top mechanics take a look at your pictures, Trust me when I say you are totally screwed. Lets put it this what you have to replace your tranny.

Uuuhhh sorry i think

Our should I say Dumb A**. Waist of a perfectly good Evo.

 

You know what, tell your mechanic buddy to take a hike. He's in way over his head and has already proven his incompetence time and time again from the mistakes he has made on your car. He's already screwed up your car so badly taking it apart. What makes you think he can put it back together PROPERLY? Key word... PROPERLY!!! Get a real professional to put your car back together if you want it to run 100% again. Otherwise you're just opening the door to more problems down the line by letting this idiot touch your car even more.

 

Well i think you better get some different mechanice instead of those damn Mitsu salesman becouse first off he doesnt need a new tranny and second how are you going to say its a waste of a Evo? There are people out there that can weld aluminum and they can do it damn well. Have you seen Darkhorses work on the Head awhile back? When he started there was half a chamber of the head missing when he was finished it looked like new. And since all it is is one of the mounting locations for 1 of the 6 bolts that hold the TC to the Tranny its not that bad specially since its not the bad mounting location near the motor mount.

Was is a screw up? YAH big time but is it a waste of a EVO NO!!! Does he need a new tranny NO!!! Is it a lesson learned HELL YA!!!! Just my 0.02
