Performance Clutch?
 

Hey are there any specific performance clutches and or flywheels for our car. Are they universal? Anyone have any recommendations? Thanks for the help

Haven't seen anything yet. A quick parts search tells me that the 4B11 doesn't share the same clutch assembly with previous Lancers, and the release bearing is of a design that I haven't seen before, and expensive. You may have to wait a bit longer for one to come out. I would guess that either Clutchmasters or ACT will be the first to market with one.

You guys definitely need a clutch option, though. Had the opportunity to drive a GTS a week or so ago and the clutch pedal feels like there's no fluid in the line. I accidentally slammed the pedal to the floor when I first pushed it in. :lol:

yeaa a performance clutch would be nice but we probally wont be seeing that for quiet some time

I heard from somewhere (can't remember exactly) that the manual gearbox in the Lancer is a close cousin of the Scion TC gearbox. Maybe do some homework on that...you never know...TRD stuff may fit. Stranger things have happened. :dunno:

Fidanza are working on a flywheel as we speak. and will also have a clutch available if they see enough interest for it.

I have more details but i can't give to much away on this forum. email me or something if you want more info

Flywheels are nice but have been noted to show a decrease in gas mileage.

hahahahaha that's exactly what i did during the test ride, i felt embarrassed

i agreee, clutch feels like nothing at all....i think i can breathe on it to push it down :lol:

I agree. After getting used to driving my manual, I jumped in my GF's tracker, and felt like i was getting a gastrocnemius workout. (ie: calf muscle)

There is a performance clutch by ACT for the evolution X. Would it work with our lancers? Part Number: ME1-XTG6 There are different types available though, this is just one of them. From $600 to $700.

Probably wont work...

Unlikely, but can't really tell without looking at the two clutches side by side. If it did work, it'd likely be severe overkill.

To my knowledge the ME1 kit will only work on the EVO X. The Lancer uses a different engine and transmission combination. I just spoke to the R&D department and they did not have any scheduled dates for production of a kit for the lancer.

Does anybody know If any company is going to develop a performance clutch?

Yes, I'm sure multiple companies will. RRM and Works both sold aftermarket options for the 02-06 models, so I'm sure they will in the future too. Mostly, it's going to depend on a clutch company actually making the product. Then you can buy it direct or from a company like RRM/Works.

RRM has already put a performance clutch on their turbo Lancer, so I'd say something already exists. It's just a matter of finding out the maker/model number or waiting for RRM to sell it (with a markup for profit).

That's business, sadly...

Has anyone blown the clutch on thier 08 Lancer yet, or know anyone who has?
