New Clutch

The Mitsubishi dealership is charging me $1500, parts and labor included to get my clutch changed. Is that a fair price or too much?

Just paid $1000 for parts and labor from an Evo tuner shop for a Competition stage 2.

Do you really want to go OEM for a clutch again?

the important thing here is, take it to an EVO specific shop. CC stage 2
if not, stick with dealer. imo.

I would lean towards a stg3 at that power which is what I'm gonna run.

I had a CC twin on my old civic and now have an Exedy HD Twin on my Evo...the Exedy is wayyyyyyyyy easier to drive in stop/go traffic, so don't shy away from a twin if it's a nicer one imo

Clutches are rated for tq, not horsepower.

I put a competition clutch stage 2 in mine about a year ago. My only engine mods are exhaust. The clutch is toast. Upon talking to someone at shep trans, they said they haven't had good luck with the comp clutches. I'm going with an Exedy HD twin disc. I'll let you know how this clutch works out.

Sounds more like and improperly installed / adjusted clutch, not broken in properly, or launched to all hell.

Not saying Comp are the best, but they're not that bad to match the experience you had

Exedy HD Twin is USELESS for your car. There's so much overkill it's not even funny. Get an Exedy Organic HD and you'll be fine. And it'll save you $1,000.
