Hey man you have to think about this realistically. Your rpms are sky rocketing while you mash the gas. If you know anything about cars and even a little bit about how a transmissionclutch system works you would obviously see its the clutch slipping. Cuz its not the gears that are slipping . So what else is down there that could be going bad? Dont let the little amount of miles that are on the car fool you into thinking you have an indestructable car just becuase its realatively new You beat on things they are gonne break plain, and simple as that. Its also a known fact that stock evo clutches are weak as ****. Mine went out at 38,xxx miles. Sorry for seeming like a rude dick just trying to point out the obvious, and possibly educate some

hahaha yeah i hit it a lil while ago with my brake parts cleaner an hoping it stops witch it should, but i dont mind the ACT its not that bad,the only negative is the smell, like i said ealier me an my bro have the same car, ( both TB VIII's with the SSL package, i had mine first) we have the same modes the only diff is the clutch an he kicks himself in the a$$ for going back to stock an when we run each other i walk on him just about every shift so like i said the only negative is the smell lol
