OP, the twin that exedy makes is typically around $1500 just for the clutch and flywheel, no install... they are expensive.

I am handing my car over to a shop out here so they can test fit the RPS carbon single disk, that should be a bad *** setup when its done, although they typically retail for around $2k

He doesn't know what he's talking about. He says in every thread where twin clutches are mentioned, but without any real evidence.

Also I was thinking of having my tranny rebuilt since i have to pull the d@mn thing out anyways. Does any one know of shops rebuilding the Evo X tranny already.

Any reviews would be nice. And i had my eye on the exedy twin disc. Just a lil upset that the ACT pressure plate took a **** on me. I can still drive the car its just when i take of normal the whole dang drivetrain vibrates.

Just curious, what kind of ACT clutch do you have?

It would be good to point out that there are three different upgrades depending on the individual needs of the owner/car.

As far as transmission rebuilds go I would contact Shepherd racing. Last time we spoke he had a few there and I would think hes got some tricks up his sleeve by now. www.sheptrans.com

My evo x just hit 14 k miles and on the way to work i was cruzing about 65mph and the clutch started to slip i called the dealer and talked to the service guy and he said its the clutch and its not under warranty he also said that its about $2500 to replace everything . so i called a friend that works in a trany shop and he said to just replace it with a clutch masters clutch for around $700 plus throw out bearing , pressure plate and flywheel he said he will charge $400 to install and he said that i could install it in about 1 day if i do myself . so what do you think i should do ?
