Wondering if anyone had chose to go the AMS CMC route instead of going to the dealer and getting the recall done. If so please let me know how the AMS performs !!

 

Recall is effective, free, and warrantied. Unless anyone is seeing failures with the recall replacement, I don't see why you'd want to use anything else.

 

AMS route! I don't trust mitsu and they don't stand behind their products. So once the new CMCs fail it could be back to the consumer to fix.

 

Why pay all the money when the recall is free and so far there are no reported failures, even with aftermarket clutches. Get the recall and if it fails then get the AMS kit.

 

+1 that ^ its free and wont hurt to try I went with the magnus kit because my car was down and the recall wasn't out yet in October couldn't wait a month. wish my cmc wouldn't have split in half I would've done the recall and saved some money

 

I went with the AMS CMC and there crazy expensive Exedy twin plate. I would NOT recommend being cheap and just going for the FREE fix which is pretty much a solution to PROLONG this issue for the moment, not fix it permantly. Think about it... A PLASTIC CMC....If you can't afford the metal one.....Good luck and make sure you have AAA tow..lol

 

Also heard from RRE that dealers are hooking up lines/ hoses wrong at certain dealerships when switching CMC out but anyways good luck with your choices.

 

No fix is "permant." Or permanent for that matter. It isn't an issue of "being cheap." It is a free fix, that you would otherwise pay for. Often times plastic solutions are as good as metal solutions. Sure, an expensive AMS CMC might give you bragging rights to say you have an AMS CMC, but how well does it actually PERFORM, as was the original question.

It isn't like these CMC's are failing left and right. Malves has it right. Take the free CMC, go AMS if it doesn't work out. Spend your money elsewhere, unless someone can chime in an say that the AMS solution is that much better than the recall CMC.

 

in my opinion the new cmc hasn't been tested long enough I mean its only been a month and just because its plastic doesn't make it the same thing. its called a recall for a reason mitsu was suppose to have fixed the problem only time will tell though.

 

[QUOTE=shekaar;11057792]"Often times plastic solutions are as good as metal solutions". Lmfao...... And yeah the AMS CMC is an adaptor plate using an Evo 9 CMC so yeah its been proven and now mitsu went plastic. Thats a great solution according to Shekaar. Compare the failures....oh yeah the metal ones don't have issues...Anyways you guys who can't afford to upgrade to metal CMC will be mitsu test subjects. Listening to people who are broke and only can afford a free fix rather than guys who can afford to R&D their **** to let you guys know what works and doesn't is a way to go according to shekaar....but anyways let's see how long this lasts before we see issues again. Awesome way to enjoy your car worrying about clutch failure. Hopefully there's enough glue on these new ones...lol

 

The AMS CMC kit uses a OEM EVO 8/9 clutch master cylinder. I have never seen one fail. I would say it performs very well.

What is Mitsubishi doing for the recall? Did they change the factory plastic master cylinder?

 

It is a stronger plastic unit. Same fundamental piece from what I understand, however.


[QUOTE=WickedWhite G;11058550]Often times, plastic is as effective as metal. That isn't an opinion. Not everyone who chooses not to go with an AMS CMC is broke. It just isn't really a necessity. I would venture to say you have family money, since you can't get the basics of grammar and syntax down. Hell, your argument is closed-minded and elitist.

I am not saying the AMS solution is bad. I am saying it is not necessary if the Mitsu unit works. If the OP gets the recall done, and it fails, then absolutely go with the AMS solution.

I am still waiting on a PERFORMANCE COMPARISON, as was asked for, instead of a half-*** "I have more money than you so this part is better" statement.

 

Correct. Still not as good or theoretically as reliable as the AMS or Magnus CMC which are metal

 

just an FYI, I have about 2k on my recalled CMC with ACT HDSS clutch. So far it's good (knock on wood)

 

Sorry if this is a nooby question, still pretty new. Is this only an issue with GSR's?
