My cousin is sellin his stage 4 wrx after we blew the tranny, went out today and test drove G35/350z/Evo 8... Drove the evo 8 like it was stolen and was not impressed... It had some kind of auto slip clutch business that was absolute rubish, it kept trying to slip the clutch automaticly around corners in second, and was a ***** just getting off the line... Its the only evo i've driven to date, but what do all of you do to avoid this "Auto clutch slip business"

I may just be without knowldge on the subject, but i was not impressed with its preformance... Handling was awesome, but the clutch thing ruined my day.

 

if it was an Evo 8, the clutch probably needs replaced. Many used Evos will need a clutch. You can't judge a car buy a worn out consumable item. Drive one with a good clutch.

 

Yeah I've never heard of an "auto slip" clutch. Is that what the dealer told you?? LOL

 

lol

shiet man, what do i know about EVO`s.... just pull the fuse, lol...

they are power hoses man, you need to drive more than the dealers work horse

 

if i had to choose again, i think i'd go for the Z. evo cost too much attention, well for me it does but dont get me wrong, still love my baby

 

It was an Evo 8... Had only 13k miles on it... The "Sales" man was saying that it does it automaticly... It was really wierd, felt like a automatic clutch the way it disingauged... Then i would gas it, it would drop 500 rpms, then knock me back... was really really wierd, didnt felt like it had dirrect throtle power, even in the powerband... Is this uncommon ? he was saying its common

 

we replace our worn out clutches

 

yeah...those are common symptoms of a slipping clutch...

 

???power hoses??? ???pull the fuse???

 

yeah dude that's a bad clutch. My b.s. meter is pegged high on the sales pitch. He'll sell it to some unlucky participant.

Where did you test drive it at?

 

Nissan in Wilsonville, there only Evo on the lot.

 

I might have to venture down that way tomorrow and take a peak and laugh at it... lol

 

make sure u get the same salesman

 

The Evo wasn't Stage 2.5 or 4 so that's why it wasn't running good
