evo's reponse is wierd now :O

a couple days know i notice when i press on the gas (and give it a constant pressure)as it accelerates the car skips about 500 rpms and the car jukes forward. it used to be a constant pull, but now when i accelerate (even mediocorely) it jukes unless i let the boost roll in really slow. Does anyone know what im trying to say? Thanks for any help.

What year is your evo and how many miles do you have on it? Do you typically drive your evo hard (launching etc.)?

Listing your mods would definitely help--there's way too many uncertainties.

Clutch, Clutch, Clutch.... no other questions to ask... mine lasted like 2 months driving it like that though, I did like 4 wheel said and turn down the boost and drive like a granny till you get a clutch on its way...

would mitsu void my warranty if i get an aftermarket clutch? and i heard that the clutches are designed to break as to not tax the tranny. is this correct? or am i just passing uninformed knowledge along lol. Thanks everybody!

What gear does it do that? If it's your clutch slipping it mainly starts in 5th or 6th and works its way down to 1st. If it's in 1st i wouldnt drive the car. That means it's about to go very very soon

Just save up for the new clutch and don't worry about the warranty. It was already voided when you took the keys in the first day anyways. lol
