well i got done putting my new clutch in....the car feels soooo much faster and quicker now...my clutch started to slip really bad and was a pain driving...i had NOTHING left on my clutch NOTHING!the clutch feels like it released a lot of power,i feel it,and all my friends feel it...i was at a area in hawaii playing around and one of my friends was at the end and could here me coming a lot sooner and could tell a difference in and out the car...could this just be me?but it seems to have released some power...

which clutch did you get

 

+1

 

...?

That's what clutches do...put power to the ground, transfer power from motor to tranny...you have free'd up normally lost power, however, quite a bit is in the head...

 

quite a bit is just a saying..i know i didnt pick up 50awhp but its a whole new monster...it picks up and spools a lot sooner,and 3rd gear holds and pulls like a raped ape...all my friends rode in car before and after clutch...and told me its crazy and a lot diff...


i went with a spec stg 2 for now...going exedy twin or tilton once i do t-case and tranny from shepard...the clutch holds 500ftlbs torque...its a really good clutch..my clutch was slipping really really bad,and was short on funds so got this one for now...i recommend spec

i know they release power,but didnt think it would be this big of a difference

 

Did you break it in? I imagine it difficult to drive 500 miles around an island.

 

^^^ thanks for you clutch installation thread...help a lot...also found on evomoto.com we need a damn dent puller to pull out shaft...never again do we do evo clutch installs

 

LOL, I actually enjoy EVO clutch installs...maybe I am a clutch geek or something.

 

well if you were in hawaii then i would have called you to battle that monster and get your jollys,lol...

 

how long did it take you

 

5 days...but we didnt work non-stop...only a couple hours a day...started friday and got done tues nite...we werent in any rush and werent like making the clutch install our #1 priority for the wkend...we actually got a lot done the first nite,but ran into problems and had to do research...

 

On by back I can typically do a clutch job in 9-12 hours. I don't try to hurry at this anymore.

 

yeah...we had other plans and left the car torn apart and went about our business...so id say we did it in 15-20 hrs maybe..not sure...first time for all of us...they were DSM guys so they figured it would be close to doing theres,but a evo and DSM even tho still a 4G63 its still to different battles

 

once you get good at them you can get them done in about 6-7 hours on a lift...

 

Makes sense. If you went with a lighter flywheel it will definitly let the motor rev better, giving better throttle response. Plus you were prolly not puttng all your power down with the worn out stocker so your really getting the full effect of that bad *** 35R.
