Stock Clutch in a close to stock evo.?
Stock Clutch in a close to stock evo.?
ok i have read on here that the stock clutch is a piece of S and wont last at all.. then i see some people say it will last fine if you dont abuse it..
a lot of people on my forum ls1gto.. were complaining about the stock clutch sucking.. but i thougt it was fine... i had 12k miles on it.. and it was just fine.. but i dont beat on it, never gone to the track etc......... but as soon as i put the blower on.. it was gone within 500-1000k miles..
so... when i get the evo, i dont plan on launching it or abusing it... how long have some of you guys kept the stock clutch with normal every day driving?
and how would a turbo back and tune affect the stock clutch if you dont launch it or abuse it? is it going to kill it a lot sooner?
thanks

I'd be careful about those stock clutches. I just bought my car with 35k on it and the previous driver has toasted the clutch
so I'm stuck with fronting the cash on the repairs. I'd consider atleast getting a tougher single plate clutch.

I have 16,000 on mine and its fine but when it goes going to put in a lighten flywheel and stage 3 clutch so i dont got change them for at least two years and more power gains dont hurt
