Hey guys, a quick question about the stock X clutch. With full bolt ons and tune, how long is the stock clutch expected to last? No launches, and minimal racing ( maybe the occasional hard pulls on the highway) I realize it will be different for everyone, but im just looking for a rough estimate, thanks!

 

If you're a decent driver and stick to pump gas and the stock turbo I can easily see 40k+ miles with more definitely possible. I have friends with IX's running similar setups and their stock clutches lasted until roughly 80k miles. The biggest thing to do ASAP is remove the clutch restrictor pill, that will add extra life right there.

 

Thanks Kracka!

 

I always heard from a few X owners I know that the stock X clutch only lasts about 10k miles. But i guess it could depends on how you drive. But if you don't drive your X like the way you should, what is the point in getting an Evo?

 

Well burning clutch and hard launches aren't really the way i think Xs "should" be driven...

 

I just had mine replaced at 66000km. About 46000 km of that was 320hp/365tq. I did a launch hete and there. No lc. Drove it alittle hard.

 

Have 10k on the stock clutch at 400whp and 380 tq. Holding up fine so far.

 

I've got 26k miles so far and no problems. It's mainly how you drive it. You can wear the clutch out if you can't drive, because of the heavy drivetrain.

 

+1

 

100,000 miles! if not abused, meaning no lauch!

 

At 36k on mine without problems. Cobb Stage 1 at 3k miles, Perrin Stage 3 at 29k.

 

I would be really surprised if the clutch on the X will last much past 30k miles because of the clutch pill. It is not an uncommon occurance to burn the hell out of the clutch in heavy, thick, large amounts of snow. I also found that stop and go traffic on a hill the clutch will burn. I have yet to get the AMS clutch line but that is the next mod for the car

 

47,000 miles here, stock clutch and restrictor pill not removed, full bolt ons and tuned for quite awhile now, very few launches throughout it's lifetime. The car is daily driven year round (Buffalo winters) and the cutch is still going strong to this day, and yes, I rip on it every so often and have some fun, I also rev match/heel toe every single downshift I ever make, which I'm sure helps the clutch's life.

 

11k on stock clutch with 330h/350t and its already slipping, and i have not dropped the clutch

 

37k miles, 360 hp and at least 30 track daze on my original clutch.
