Previous owner

I would like to find the previous owner of my evolution ix gsr. The reason being is that the dealership I had bought the car from told me that the car has been to ams in Chicago and had a tune full exhaust, head studs, and a clutch. I would like to know what kind of clutch it is so I can figure out if it's rebuildable.

Maybe contact AMS and see if they have records of the car saved by VIN?

Pop the lower inspection round dust boot off and look in with a light. Should not be that hard to at least check the brand and get a part # by turning the engine over with a ratchet.. That’s how i found out i had an act clutch.

Anyway, if it’s not a twin there is not anything to rebuild.. If you have a twin or triple it should be way obvious when your drive it by the chatter sounds it makes. About all you can do on a reg clutch is replace the disk and check for cracks/run out and step height on the flywheel/pp. Parts just get replaced.

Or you can pop the boot off around the clutch fork and look in through there, either way will work. But I can guarantee you that you wont have much luck by just saying you have a gsr, there's quite a few of those, posting pictures of the vehicle may get you closer to finding the previous owner.
