your throwout bearing separated from the pressure plate. It's not an easy fix. That's my guess.

Attaching the TOB to the PP was even a PITA installing the clutch - I used about 4 different screwdrivers then suddenly got the hang of it.

If pushrod from cylinder isn't extended and pushing fork, then it's a leak

But if it's extended out it's separated. you might be able to snap it back in, adj pedal to the 30K wear, and it will hold for awhile but dont count on it. Expect new clutch.

mitsubishi doesn't want to fix it b/c they feel it is the best palce to make a weak link in the car to prevent some sort of catastrophic damage from occuring. instead, they decide to make the clutch go and thus have us forgo the repair costs rather than for them to put a good clutch in the car and fix whatever happens to break first.

That would be my guess also.

i just had Buschur put a new clutch, pplate, line and shifter bushings in my 03' evo 1,500 miles ago. the other night on my way home from work, i go to down-shift into 4th so someone could pull into their driveway and the clutch went to the floor and stayed there. with the car running, it won't shift. turn the car off and you can shift it. i called buschur and they told me that it sounds like the retaining clip on the t.o.b. and that it will cost me $400 for them to fix it. does this sound right? or should they be a warranty thing?

Evo's clutches are known to be awful. 30k miles on the stock clutch isn't bad.
