You can destroy a Shep/TRE built trans too if you dump hard enough. Launching a AWD car is a art and a very expensive one if you do it wrong.

So would anybody suggest the Exedy Single Organic Clutch for this? I'm looking into a new clutch soon also and was thinking about getting Gruppe-S' Exedy / CCI Flywheel package for $699.

Thanks!

for the price, nothing can beat ACT.

I have it, no complaints.

Feels like stock clutch worked out for few years.

That happened to me. The clutch also only lasted 8000 miles. Went back to OEM and LOVE it!

i got my clutch installed for 350 from a guy in milwaukee,wisconsin he has done a number of EVO's i actually got his number from a few members off this forum, 2 and a half hours i was back on the road, clutch and flywheel job, awesome work. it would suck not knowing someone in the clutch changing world, have to pay out you a$$ I had to buy the fluids tho, i got the BG Syncro Mesh, and the Mitsu Diaqueen OEM Fluid. Have no problems.

If you do get an aftermarket one, make sure you also get some good fluids always more work than what you think bummer i feel your pain tho
