Yeah, I don't think its normal at all. It feels like something is loose and the motor is rocking around. I need to check my mounts, I already have the powerflex front mount and I am using the exedy twin.

And I can ride through it in first (like make it not happen), but its really hard to make it not happen in reverse, so Im thinking rear mount.

It is not wheel hop. It feels like a warped flywheel/pressure plate

they are all called motor mounts... but if you want to use your logic then car really only has 1 real motor mount. The rest of the mounts are attached to tranny, funny because you said motor mounts before... Like i said before you usually have no clue what your talking about.

Yep you are right I have no idea what I'm talking about! BTW there are 3 motor mounts on the evo (three that connect directly to the block) and two tranny mounts.

If you give it a little gas when leaving a stop it should be fine, That only happens to me in first if I let the RPM's drop below idle by accident, check mounts also, just in case.

Happen on mine 05 too. Just give more gas. I checked and everything seem ok and I'm on stock clutch as well. Just annoying when I tried to take it easy.

Does it happen in reverse too, but worst?

Do you smell clutch just from pulling up a curve? Could be pedal adj too

WELL i went to long beach mitsubishi dealership, and was treated great! i went straight to parts to order my seals, and the service employee checked out my car free of charge

turns out, everytime you add a aftermarket clutch, you have to replace the flywheel. I had my flywheel resurfaced, and that, thats the reason why it shakes. he also noted i had a ripped axel boot.

So, i will be purchasing a new oem clutch and flywheel. Thanks for the support guys..


To long beach mitsubishi!

Maybe I am retarded? I have never removed the engine from the Evo, but I have examined the mounts, and they look exactly the same as a DSM. The shop manual also shows three engine mount locations that attach to the block. Here is what the shop manual says:




Looks like 3 engine mounts to me? The 4th "engine mount" is referred to as a transaxle mount in the Mitsubishi manual.
