here are the pics...also thanks to wrick and james for helping me remove the tranny

tranny and bell housing:


flywheel and a side pic of the motor:


pressure plate:



clutch plate...look at all the cracks:

 

Wow that blows. I imagine that is the stock clutch?
Any plans for LSD since the tranny is getting work.

 

is this the stock ones? please confrim

 

yes this is the stock clutch...did u guys know the stock clutch is an exedy clutch????

no lsd...im getting sponsored by s.p.e.c. clutch and they are sending out a clutch stage 2 and a flywheel..

im surprised my stock clutch lasted this long...90,000 miles on the stock clutch and 30,000 of it being boosted

 

how many launched on your stock clutch?

 

not sure....only ran it maybe 5 times from a dig....if i launch it from 1st im just going to spin every time....normally launch and race from a roll from about 40 in 2nd....

 

^Smart man! No wonder it lasted so long... Evo owners should pay attention to your driving style and not complain about 10k clutch failures! LOL. Alot of stock OEM clutches are Exedy, believe it or not.

 

well its mainly a show car but i like to go fast sometimes also

 

^And who wouldn't? LOL

 

Ok man I'll bring my car down to Tampa and maybe you can pull my clutch !!?

 

just recvd my clutch today. im going to rebuild the axle and possibly get a after market flywheel also by my new sponsor SPEC clutch...will post pics soon

 

got the axle rebuilt and did the install of the spec stage 2 clutch. finally pass my break in period. i chirp in 2nd and 3rd now. this clutch grabs pretty hard.

 

ooo and some pics:

 

Did you get the stage 2 or stage 2+?? Im looking at replacing my clutch here soon too. Ive taken the stocker to its last leg. Any tricky parts replacing the clutch?

What turbo kit are you running? It looks like the tsi kit! Just a tip....I saw in the pic that your wastegate vac line is hooked up to the side of your turbo, if you take that vac line from the wastegate and hook it up to your intake manifold it'll run the 6 or 7psi to manifold. Just plug the turbo one. Right now with the intercooler your most likely having a pressure drop and are only running like 5psi to the manifold.

 

i went with stage 2 not the +...after i ordered it i realized there was a plus but it was too late....plus SPEC is a new sponsor of mine so i wasnt complaining on price.

i replaced the throw out bearing and got my axles' rebuilt...the flywheel looked good still so just took some sand paper to it and it works fine.

also went with royal purple tranny fluid...putting the fluid in was a pain in the ***.

thanks for the tip on the turbo. im also thinking of having mark from turbo trix do a tune on it fairly soon.
