(***Excuse my english I'm french***)

Ok here is my situation:
I have a 2008 Mitsubishi Evo GSR

I buy the car with 38 000km (aprox 23k miles) last March and now I am at 43 000km ( approx 27k miles)

I put my car in 2 different drag session (3 pass the first day and 2 pass the second with a month between my 2 drag "session" and never use the launch control. I do launch around 4k rpm

On my first day on the 1/4 miles i did burn my clutch i realy didnt miss it. (some smoke came out from under the car and the clutch smell BADLY)

On my last drag session, only 2 run (makes 2 days now) i might have slip the clutch a litle since i smelled a very LIGHT smell of burn clutch.

At the end of the pm i drove back to my home and everything goes fine (5-10 miles) But, on the same day, i was on the Highway 65-70 mph 3200 and decide to pass an other car so i floor it.

The rpm make 3200 to 5000, my boost peak to 23psi right away but my car was not going faster. Then maybe, 2 sec after my rpm went down to 3800-4000 and I start moving faster and gaining speed.

After that i test and it did the same in gear 3-4-5

Today, 2 days after the problem is much more worst it do the same in 2-3-4-5 gear and i barely can't accelerate. I got the same acceleration of a 2000 hyiunday accent and even there i think the accent beat me on a 1/4.

I still got the OEM clutch

I've been told that the problem is my clutch and that she just slip. My friend told me my clutch is dead and that i have to change it.

So what are you're though

(***Excuse my english I'm french***)

 

well you are experiencing symptom #1
do a clutch drop test in 5th from a stand still and see if the car dies.

i would say just upgrade clutch & get a magnus evo9 cmc conversion kit for the X
aftermarket clutches can blow the master cylinder

and your English is very good btw!

 

your clutch is done....it will just keep getting worse until you will not be able to move the car at all...stop driving it asap....order a clutch, flywheel, and a new CMC.

 

I already order a new clutch (competition clutch stage 3)
I also order the AMS reinforcement ring.
And I will keep my OEM flywheel and just have it resurface

 

For the cost why not just get a new master cylinder? The ring doesn't guarantee anything. My experience goes that placing a bandage one place makes for a boo-boo in another.
