Dude, chill, its just a clutch. You didn't just loose your house and family in the hurricane...

My vote is just take the thing in. You have to get the TC fixed anyway right? So its going to get fixed whether your paying for it or mitsu is. It sounds like there is a good chance the clutch is stock, so just tell them to fix the TC.

Its just one of those sucky things that happens if you don't know what you bought.

This means you're either still have the stock clutch or RRE no-name clutch which is good clutch as well. The ACT will be yellow and the Exedy will be pink color.

If you can find another evo with stock clutch then you can try to compare the pedal stiffness, if your is stiffer the you may have after-market clutch.

either way your gonna need a new clutch.
buy a new aftermarket clutch and then go find a local shop that can get it done for 700
