i have read the entire thread of Lancer-Mirage Compatibility Forum and i understand the the mirage clutch(disc and pressure plate) will fit on a 2002 OZ lancer
looking around the option i found this Exedy Kit for the mirage
Item number: 180290528345
could someone confirm if this will really fit
thanks

 

No. You need a clutch for a 98+ Mirage that is 215mm. The clutch for an 89-93.5 Eclipse with the 2.0L DOHC non-turbo engine fits also.

However, you will need a throwout bearing for the 02-03 Lancer as it is different from the one included for that clutch.

 

I took my car to the shop today and they said the clutch is going bad. They said the pressure plate is literally falling apart! How hard is it to install a new clutch? Where can I find the best price for one?

 

It's pretty hard without the proper equipment. I've done it before with jacks and jackstands but I wouldn't do it again. The most difficult part is when you're getting ready to put the transmission back in, getting the input shaft to line up perfectly. If it's your first time plan on using the whole weekend and get a few friends to help. Air tools are a must.
