ur not really burning the clutch if your feathering abit more then usual. if ur on a steep hill, feather smoothly until you get beyond 1500 rpm... its NOT burning as you dont have enough torque or RPMS to up the temps in that short time.

not trying to be an *** but u do need to learn to practice precise control of ur clutch. smooth timing (delayed) on steep hills and even san francisco level hills will be conquered.

and if u respond with (i've been driving for X amount of years blah blah), just means u've been driving for X amount of years "possibly" incorrectly. i was the same, i drove civics, 350zs etc and i never cared until the evo.

 

Steep hills as Evo kryptonite. Now I've heard it all. All this thread needs now is for Buschur to come in and point out it's due to your ETS FMIC.

 

Handbrake FTW!

 

lol
thats is funny

 

Yeah, I was trying to get up the hill at University of Maryland on my new clutch and I stalled at least 7 times because I could not get enough power to get moving. Then again I had a four-puck and those are pretty hard to engage, I probably would've been fine with the stock clutch.

I had all sorts of traffic honking me from behind and had to literally tell everyone to back up so I could roll down the hill to the flat spot. Probably one of the most embarrassing times of my life. That and the fact that I had to slip the clutch so much that it made me feel really bad, and it also didn't help that it was during my 500 mile break in.

 

if i lived in downtown sf - i would NOT own an evo or a 5/6 spd for that matter

 

+1

 

Were you in Hollywood Hills? I went up there once with the EVO, really bad idea.

 

what hill is it that u can only go 10mph?....try getting a running start b4 u get to the hill....that way the turbo is spooling as u go up the hill

 

of course you will be fine with a running start. with out one on steap hill your preatty much out of luck with the evo on steep hills.

i meant you cant go under 10mph. if you go slower than that the car has no power to accelerate and will start slowing down. then to get started again from a stop is no fun.
just power off idle at all

 

Learn to drive. Even if the Evo didn't have a turbo you can still do it without a problem. Inexperience makes it tricky...

 

How about you rev your car....

 

and YOU are too damn stupider and have no grammar or spelling skills



Learn to read write and speak a language other than engrish and until then shut the fack up

 

stop trying to drive up walls.

 

How did I ever drive my '91 Eclipse GS, it didnt have a turbo. You need to practice driving on hills and get the hang of it.
