So to be clear I have 85K on my current stock clutch with no slipping yet!
Holy ****, you pretty much just proved that the Evo and the stock clutch is not a POS like DSMs are.

Picked up my 03 on 6/30/03 and fixing to turn over 20k.
Stock clutch still going strong.
One lunch hour lapping session, one all day lapping session and numerous autocrosses.

I don't think the dealer would install an aftermarket clutch. Especially not the dealerships in the DC Metro Area.

A dealership may only use OEM parts to make repairs under warranty. It is in fact a stock EVO VIII factory clutch, with 85K miles on it. I don't launch it but I get it moving quickly and then beat the **** out of it on these back woods WV mountain roads!

Simply put...I drive it like a rally car not a mustang on a local strip!
