You have less than 2,000 miles on an utterly stock car. They fix it under warranty or you make a huge stink until they they do.

Wear & Tear doesn't mean "in 2 weeks it'll break."

Its not worth spending $1400 for another stock clutch. If they won't cover you under warrenty then fack them. You should just get an exedy twin clutch if you gonna spend that money. It worth every god damn penny buddy. Beside you gonna need this mod in the future anyway. Unless, you planning on driving it stock.
Cheers

But people were just saying how it is the gear shift fork. And the clutch is only covered for 12,000 miles or 1 year....1 year is now up. What should I do?

Besides, how could it be the clutch? It shifted fine and pulled out fine aswell. But it did get worse as I drove it. Personally, I think it was the gear shift fork.

Clutch

I bought an evo not to long ago had 26k miles on it and the clutch went after I had it for 1 week. I even purchased extended warranty (big waste of money). So I called them and they said its a wear and tear item and it will cost 1500 to replace. So after about calling them for 3 days and *****ing non stop they finally decided to send a flat bed to my house pick it up and change it free of charge. They said it was a "good will" thing. So if they don't want to change it for free just keep calling and *****ing eventually they will get tired and just do it lol.

That sucks man. Those pics remind me of the time I broke down on the parkway in my Mirage and had to get towed all the way back to Johnstown. I am sure your car will be fine too...

UPDATE!!


We're taking it to a much better dealership, infact they have one mechanic and he only touches EVOs. Which I am so happy. It should get there tonight or early tomorrow morning. As soon he tells me whats up, I will be sure to let you guys know. Let's all pray its under warranty and nothing major!!

Bull****. Mine lasted 40k with cams and a good bit of power.
