Wow 3000 miles out of a stock clutch or brake pad is considered normal wear and tear? I would hope that on a stock car this would be considered pre-mature wear and covered under warranty.

 

why would this be considered premature wear? I could take a brand new evo and toast a set of pads with one track day if you were not careful. Same goes for launching the car at every stop light you come to= toasted clutch! How can Mitsubishi kno were and how you drive your car? These are not race cars out of the box.

Just bye the twin and be done with it!

 

Agreed but that same abuse could be done to the engine, suspension(off road) etc... and these items are still covered? I agree that if you are going down the path of modding, you need to upgrade your clutch. I am talking about the other group of customers that drive normally on the street and don't enjoy beating the **** out of their car on the track.

 

These type of people exist? lol

Honestly tho I agree with Jer on this one. Unless it is a defective part, I wouldn't turn it in for a warranty claim. 8 launches on a stock clutch making that much power is asking for it IMO.

 

?


tell that to the slick car guys running 10.0 @ like 119 mph.
next time you go to the track, drive the car off the line, and watch your mph go up.

less time it takes you to get to 60' means less time to get to 1320' meaning you are getting there quicker. not faster..

for the options.

A) tuning is always an option ( but in reality chaning parts without tuning the car rarely changes hp in my opinion unless its for the bad)
B) heat may adjust for 1 or 2 mph MAX. last time i was at the track in the heat of the day around 6 or so, it was like 91 deg and extremely hot where i ran a 112.5 mph and like 4 hours later when it was like chilled out i ran a 113.4 or something with almost identical 60's (1.80 vs 1.83)
C) missing gears never helps haha this is extremely true!


If i am incorrect tell me

 

that's my issue. There are a few out there that just drive these cars normal. They get screwed by the people that mod their car then something breaks and they turn it back to stock to get it paid for. All that does is make mitsubishi not want to warrenty anything!

 

Ah, ok then looks like ill be buying a twin disc in a week. Depending on when i get the money wich should be in like 5 days or so. Or sooner hopefully When do you think you could get the car in so you can change it?

 

Thats true, I read that post earlier and couldn't agree more. Another problem is that these claims are really just a band aid, not a repair. Sooner or later the extra HP or constant abuse is going to do the same damage. It's sad that people are so quick to spend money to make HP but when it comes to supporting mods its a different story.

 

for all you transformer geeks...

 

Well my bad for bringing up the warrenty thing. Ill just spend the extra cash and buy the twin disc. Sorry for the incoveniance

 

jeez 3,000 miles on a clutch...thats like oil change interval.....

 

I daily drove a twin disk , and I mean daily without fail, in 80% city driving in my last evo. Up and down hills, parkway traffic, you name it.

The chatter is noticeable every time the clutch is depressed. Driving up and down hills is acctually a bit easier because you need to slip the clutch a good bit. The twin is a slightly different driving style then a single and does take a little getting used to.



The only issue I had regularly was gear lockout when the oil was cold. This made parralel parking a pita. Also you need to pay closer attention when just driving around otherwise you might stall it on accident.

Overall though its one of the best upgrades you can do for the car. It really lets you launch the car hard with a great deal of ease. Pedal pressure is similar to stock.

Oh yeah, they're expensive. They have areputation for lasting. Nothing lasts forever.

 

30,000 miles/3000miles per stock clutch = 10 clutch changes = $20,000 ballpark.

 

No harm done, just conversation... GL with the twin disc, I think will be starting a nest egg for the same setup.

 

^^
Wow. I better take good care of my clutch then.
