Evo X clutches and Tranny rebuilt
 
Well my ACT pressure plate and baring took a crap on my car. So I was doing some search on here about some other clutches and was wondering if more people have updates on other clutch besides the ACT on the Evo X. I was thinking twin disc this time and need to hold over 500 awhp on a MD.

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.

I've driven an Evo X with a Clutchmasters Stage 4 and it drove great. It did have a little bit of an on/off feel when starting out in 1st gear, but I got use to it after a half-day of driving. The clutch held almost 400whp with no problems and was just as quiet as the factory clutch. The clutch pedal weight was also the same as stock.

Joe, I don't understand, did the ACT damage your car/tranny?

I got the exedy twin disk, it's being installed and will be done on Monday. I'll let you know if I like it or not. Spent over $1,500 on it, it's def not cheap!

I dont think anyone has rebuilt one yer.. I was next to Scott@ TTP a few weeks ago and he was talking to Shep on the phone, and he had said that he hasnt even opened one up yet

Beware the twin clutches are blowing up the clutch cylinder, do a search and carrito.net posted some info on a upgraded pump from a shop in PR, and i think extreme is working on one too.

I have not heard of upgraded components for the X 5sp, but you could always do cryo treatment and stuff like that.

Seems like its not the disks thats causing the damages, its the pressure plates

Right, well i meant twin clutches in general put too much stress on the plastic
OEM cylinder, and i heard they brake in half.

No it just seem like I got a faulty ACT clutch (ebay lol). The clutch its self as a lot of life but the pressure plate and barings took a crap on me. When i go to take off normal the whole drivetrain just starts to shake. But once i am rolling it all good. i took it to mitsu and they said it was the clutch pressure plate.

Ya I am going to have to do a lil research on this. Someone some where as had to start a rebuilt on these. Theres evo x's out there with over 500 - 600 awhp already. And since i have to pull the tranny out anyways i was just thinking to getting it rebuilt because ill be running about 500awhp.

Ya i did not know this. Ill have to PM carrito.net and ask them about this. So do they have a aftermarket clutch cylinder for this thing yet????

I might look into that as well.
