Hi guys, I'm about to buy a 2015 grs with only 38000km in Canada. So when I went to tested drive the vehicule I noticed that the clutch had to go a bit high like maybe 80% up to be able to change gear....
I ask the mecanique guy over there and he said" no there's no problem I guarrantie you that the clutch doesn't need to be change".
So I'm asking to the ones that drive evo. Is it normal that the clutch goes that high to change gear?

 

Hello / Welcome Raphael

You should find out if an aftermarket clutch has been installed. Are there any mods done to this EvO? Depending on the mod level, that may give us an indication as to whether this EvO would have had a clutch replacement

There is a clutch adjustment procedure that can be done to ensure proper clutch pedal engagement / bite point

I have an EvO9 & have that procedure but this is an X so the procedure is likely just a bit different

 

Thank you for replying, but no the evo is 100% stock
There's no mood put into it so far

 

Normal. Based on my experience with my X before buying. Test drove it and noticed the Engagement point is higher from the floor board and clutch is stiffer than I was usually used to. (Came from a 04 ralliart)

 

Most X's the clutch seems to engage about 50-75% of the way up in the pedal travel, each one is a bit different. I'd say its normal.

 

Thank you for your help.But the vibration when i change gear, like i kind of recall is it... normal?

 

Evo's are rough cars. They make whistles pops, snarls etc.. If the car feels good, has no error lights, a clean history, and looks solid / drives well you need to get 'used' to the EVO and it's nuances. These aren't hondas

Good luck but sounds like a stock EVO to me with the clutch etc..

 

Evo X Clutch pedal is non adjustable

 

Thanks, did not know that

What about the Magnus CMC upgrade?

 

The Magnus CMC is adjustable. Most of the evox cmc upgrade kits are just evo9 CMC's, and they are adjustable too.

 

If the clutch feels that abnormal, it could be from the previous owner launching it improperly too many times, or an aftermarket clutch. The stock Evo clutch is actually really smooth.
