Everything I've learned after 4+ years with my Evo
I referred to the XTSS, which is the one everyone has problem with. And even if someone didnt know about adjusting their clutch, it would be the first thing that came up if they searched EvoM for how to fix lockout issues.
There is nothing regurgative about the long, long, LONG list of people who hate their XTSS. Search for the "ACT, you suck" thread for an example, there are many, many bad testimonials from knowledgable enthusiasts and long-time shop owners including DB.

I love my XTSS and if it had a Vajayjay I would totally service that as well.
Thanks OP.
I particularly like the part about "if I started over with $1000, this is what I would do". Interesting to hear that a "protune" may be overrated. Looks like I need to head over to the ECU forum.

I had no idea about the mobil 1 situation. Would it be ok to switch to amsoil with my next oil change or would it not be good for my engine since i have been using mobil 1 for the life of the car up to this point?

No, the Xtreme is the XTSS. Same disc but stiffer pressure plate. It's the pressure plate that causes the lockout issues.
I want to say that, the clutch is fine in every other way. Pedal feel is great. Durability is great. Holds tons of power... but all that means nothing when you can't shift above 7000RPM.
And it's worth noting that, the lockout usually only occurs after a hard launch & clutch slip, presumably after heating it up pretty good.

High PSI, I understand you love everything about your XTSS, but there's a reason the ACT, you suck thread has endless negative testimonials. And it's not because David Buschur doesn't know how to adjust his clutch pedal.
Your one positive experience vs. dozens and dozens of negatives doesn't hold up, so go troll somewhere else.
