[HELP] my evo x under power problem.

Hey

I dont know what is the reason, but my car (evo x) suddenly seems like lost its power.
I can only go around 40mph in 3rd gear with around 5k rpm.
1st gear around 15mph at 4.5k rpm.
Anyone know what is the problem? I will bring my car to the dealership tomorrow, but I want to make sure the dealership never give me any dumb excuse to void my warranty. I never do any mod to my car, it is completely stock.

From what i heard, it is either the clutch wear out or the clutch is too hot.

Please help!!!!!!!
Thanks

dont go for oem clutch , get an act street clutch and get an known evo/dsm shot to install it for you , it should come out to like 1100-1200 with clutch and it will be so much durable.

Yes stock evo clutch sucks! if you get another stock one plan on getting a new clutch again soon. Go aftermarket if you are replacing
