there is one thing you have not done thats making it different everytime you drive. REMOVE THE CLUTCH PILL. coming from a manuAl car (a car i learned stick )i could never understand why my evo kept changing the sweet spot for the clutch until my tuner told me about the clutch pill. i say give it a shot and remove it. its like driving a whole new monster

 

Isn't that bad long term?

 

the way my tuner and everyone here explains it is that the clutch pill kinda helps you shift gears by skipping the clutch a little bit. Search the treads up a little bit. I melted my clutch prematurely and that clutch pill didn't help. I was always used to a stage 3 clutch and a light whoever flywheel ( in my previous car ) and I always over compensated and that sh*t got fried so I upgraded to stage 3 and a lightweight flywheel lmao honestly search up the tread and look for the clutch pill and it's like diving a different car

 

I'll look it up. To be fair tho, you did just say you overcompensated because u were used to an upgraded clutch and flywheel....so melting your clutch seems to be your error moreso than a clutch pill, but idk lol

 

The clutch pill is there to make it so you can't dump the clutch and break your transmission. No matter how fast you release the peddle, the restrictor will keep the clutch from gripping too fast. The down side is you are basically dragging the clutch peddle every time you shift. The only damage that can happen by removing it is from the object between the seat and the steering wheel. If you can deal with NOT dumping the clutch and trying to do awd burnouts everywhere you go, then by all means remove it. I put mine back in when I sold the car.

 

I was thinking of removing my clutch pill but decided against it for warranty purposes. IMO, there must be a reason mitsu put that otherwise why would they consider it. Who knows what excuse they could come up with if I get warranty work done?

If I were to build a "no f*cks given Evo X" then I would definitely take it out for improved clutch control.

 

If the op is still here...
I learned on this car, i drove my friends manual jetta once and had the usual problems coming from an auto transmission. Too much gas expecting the car to not rev to the moon, braking to a stop and stalling, etc.

I had a good understanding of what everything was doing, (as i am sure you know how a clutch works and a throttle pedal works.) i just didn't have the feel of it.

I learned rev matching by only doing 4th to 3rd (approx. 1000rpm blip) when coming to an intersection or turn. Anything other than that i would just clutch in to neutral and coast+brake.

Good or bad this eventually taught me all the gears, and i didn't toast the clutch.

If you blip the throttle and release the clutch and the revs shoot up you obviously didn't have enough revs when you released the clutch, whether they fell because you where too slow or you never gave it enough to begin with.

Its trying to tell you man! There may be a language barrier but no one knows the evo like the evo knows itself.

Just don't do anything wild until you are confident. The same jerks and underrevs you are running into now is what will teach you how to do it properly and give you that feel in no time.

Believe me you wont even have to think about it in a month or two.
