Ok. I got a 2003 es. it has a 2200lb pressure plate and exedy clutch pad. all fluids are capped off. If i try to drive this normal, i grind, i either have to peel out all the time, or bog and almost kill it at every shift(1-2). any ideas?

 

hell yeah grind that motherfcker......... lol sorry. i'm honestly not sure what the problem could be. did you install it yourself? or did a shop do it for you? maybe have someone look at it and give you another opinion.

 

i did the original clutch install my self, but then i blew up my motor and the guy who did all my motor work put it all back together

 

bump

 

Maybe the clutch was installed wrong, could take it to a shop and get it checked, thats what I'd do.

 

sounds like the same prob tons of Evo owners are having....

 

Sounds like you have bad synchronisors (spelling?)
