a clutch covered under warrenty!
that would be the first i have heard

 

Yeah good luck with getting Mitsu to cover the clutch. You are better off at looking into aftermarket ones, and if you don't go with a twin disc or something they are fairly cheap.

 

If you're stock then try the dealership, you've got nothing to lose. If not I suggest you start looking into aftermarket clutches soon so you've got it when that stockers goes out completely.

 

If you have a 2003 past 12,000 miles I think you're SOL.

 

If your gonna get a new clutch installed.. let me know i can Pm you a good guy to get it done cheap and is awesome. Does this all the time. Cost is 350 and can get it done in 4 hrs no joke. Had a buddy have his done recently from the guy. Its in Milwaukee which is worth the drive.

 

$350?? and 4 hours?? damn that is fast and cheap

 

Definately!

 

yea i know.. its no joke.. i paid the dealer 850 and took 10 hrs.. my buddy got it done in 4 hrs for 350.. this guy is the master!!! Wish i knew about him earlier

 

Having just bought my new 05, I asked the service manager how long I should expect to get out of my clutch. He said somewhere between 20000 and 50000 miles. 20000 miles maybe, but 50000

He said all the clutch parts except the disc are covered under warrenty. The disc is not as it is a wear item, like your rotors.

 

well the disk was covered for 12k miles but you never stated your mileage I'm assuming you're higher than that...and as for people doing it cheaper and faster the dealer takes "10 hours" because thats what theyr'e book says..they are pretty lacksadasial *spelling* and still usually finish it faster than that and charge you for 10 hours still. my friend works for toyota and has an 03 evo and does his own clutch and can finish it also in about 4 hours. **** I was chillin at his work one day and he finished a head gasket replacement in a little over 4 hours with an oil change when the books charge like 10 hours or something too...definitely if the dealer cant do it take advantage of someone in your area who is a pro at installation and order a good clutch to install that will last

 

the problem is they'll tell you that they'll have to do a tear down and inspect it first and if they call abuse, then you have to pay for it. if you dont want an oem clutch then they'll charge you for the disassembly labor. tough call. i say bite the bullet, take it to a tuner shop and slap on a good aftermarket clutch.

 

FYI.. the dealer put in the ACT and Prostreet Flywheel and only charged labor.. yes i wish i had my hookup number prior to doing this, but i was desperate and didnt have time to do it myself for that fact!! Some dealers are cool and will install aftermarket stuff TO A DEGREE of course. Didnt charge for any other misc. things.. just labor which was insane

 

Amen to that^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
