Looking for opinions on whether or not to spend some extra money on maintenance even though the EVO may not need it.

Here's the service detail on what I was looking at:
1. Oil and external filter change.
2. Firmware upgrades and teach in.
3. Gearbox strip and clean, replace internal filter
4. Replace clutch plates with Dodson supersport plates

I've bought a used 2010 EVO X MR with 35,000 miles on it. I hit 37,000 today. The car hasn't had any service to the SST. No filter or fluid change. I plan on keeping the car stock minus the COBB AP3. And I plan on keeping the EVO X MR for a while.

Due to special circumstances, I'm looking at roughly $2800 otd on the service.

Is it worth it if I'm not having any issue with the SST or would the preventive maintenance be a waste of money?

 

You aren't experiencing any problems and you are and will be making making near stock power. I see no justification for replacing the clutch plates, I think you are asking for trouble where no trouble currently exists.

Do the fluid and filters, the firmware, and even the teach-in if you like. Keep the ~$2200 you have left over and spend it on something else.

 

if aint broke, dont fix it. just do fluid changes.

 

I've decided to do a relearn and fluid/filter change. After thinking about it, I see no need to replace the clutch plates as of right now.

We'll see how well the SST holds up when I run the Nurburgring at the end of April.

 

I would put the Dodson heated/cooled sump on it, and get an SST tune from English racing. Both will help extend the life of the transmission.

 

Im hitting 150000 miles this week.
I have full boltons since the past 100000 thousand miles.

All i did was change the fluid and filter two times since new.
I have no problems with the SST

 

Good to know. The filter and fluid has been changed. I thought they were going to use the Mitsu fluid but they used Motul.
