Let the clutch out and you're off. When you let the clutch out do it quickly but not too fast. Don't side step your foot and "pop" the clutch out, that produces driveline shock that's not good for your transmission, Let it out too slowly and you'll fry the clutch, and with the stock clutches in these cars being soft and underrated they can barely hold the power that the car is making stock for rolling starts let alone a hard launch. All it takes is one and your crappy mitsu clutch goes bye bye, I hope this helps...
i tried this today and popped a p1238 code. I was completly stopped and pushed the clutch all the way in and stomped on the gas. It went to 5500ish and then threw the code and the car all but died. wth? would it matter if i had an accessport tune?

You're gonna see the revs go down a little bit. Its basically when you are slipping the clutch. Do it for too long and you end up with the lousy smell. Do it for too short and you get bogged down. The clutch release needs to be just right. Remember, all this needs to happen in less than 2 to 3 seconds.

If you have to ask these questions over and over, you shouldn't be launching your car.

Funny thing is your car is slower than a lot of the modified X's. So you're faster than the stock ones. Oh boy.

For all you smelling burn clutch material... that's $200 you smell.

Smell that 5 times or so and that is your clutch.

****! I only have around 3 left. What is a good aftermarket clutch? I want something that doesn't make extra noise or any other drawbacks.

Is there a company that upgrades the oem transfer case?

twin plates make noise when the clutch pedal is depressed, but you can't hear it inside the car, do it properly and have peace of mind when you mod, my Cusco Twin is excellent, only slightly heavier than stock, very easy to drive, and feels awesome
