I daily my silver 9MR, I live in St. Pete area. I haven't seen any evos locally in years lol. Anybody know a shop around St. Pete/Tampa area that has experience with clutch jobs on evos and will install customer supplied parts? I called a couple well known places and they refused my business because I wouldn't buy the parts through them...
Btw nor11384, awesome braces man. One of these days I want to get a set from you but they are a ways down my "to-get" list at the moment lol

Lol thx man. Brother take my advice please. DO NOT take your evo to any “EVO” shop around here. Do yourself a favor. You’re better off doing it yourself. That’s why I do everything myself including tuning. Search for the horror stories from here to Orlando when it comes to evos. If you want info or any questions pm me.

Lol. You don’t need a lift man just jackstands, motivation, and a friend. First time I did it I layed under the car for half an hour thinking to myself “wtf did I get into”. Thankfully these forums have all the info and knowledge you need. Unfortunately that seems to be a new trend with shops. They want to make money on the parts and also they don’t want to be responsible for a part they didn’t provide in case it is faulty and they have to be responsible for it. I get it to a certain extent but I also agree it is bull****.
Unfortunately doing it myself is out of the question really. I dont have the necessary tools, no lift, and no experience with clutches on evos. Hmm.. maybe I could persuade you help me out and to do it with me lol. Man it really sucks being an evo owner around here, nobody (shops/mechanics) knows what the hell they are doing with these cars. And the only shops I might trust refuse to install customer supplied parts... wtf kind of business model is that? Literally turning away potential return customers
If all else fails, you buy me pizza and beer and we could plan to do it over a weekend. I got everything necessary to do it, including the slide hammer to pull the shaft from the trans to the t-case.

Have you reached out to ARH Automotive yet? They're rather lenient when it comes to customer supplied parts from my experience.

I know it sounds like I'm dick-riding a bit but I know the owner personally and he's a stand up guy. His personal vehicle and shop car is an old school Eagle talon for all that's worth to you so they're no strangers to all-wheel drive systems.
But if you wanna save some cash I don't mind helping either. I got an engine crane, tools, hydraulic press, etc etc. I do all my own work on all my cars as well.
