28k and no problems.

 

Revhappy the cars that you talked about are not awd. If you want to drag race don't do it on public streets. If you launch your car hard a destroy your clutch don't expect it to be covered under warranty. Any manufacture if they inspect your clutch and notice hot spots will not warranty your clutch.

 

jwtodd60 you're an idiot. You're comparing a stock Evo that you can buy to a 1/2 million dollar rally car. You have got to be kidding me. And I don't care if I get kicked of the site for calling you an idiot.

 

Just hit 10,000 today. Clutch is great. I'm going to change it to an ACT though.

 

I Have just under 5k on my clutch and have had no problems. Iv done a couple of launches kicked it sideway once or twice and ripped a axis spin once. Other then that i dont drive to agressivley i just cruise around until something worthy rolls up next to me. My buddy with an MR has launched hes car a bunch and done a couple axis spins and has over 10k on is clutch.

 

I can't belive this fricken thread is still alive...

learn how to drive your evo properly.

 

I don't believe it! People actually search to post on this thread!?

 

I need to know for certain if my clutch is slipping. Its been getting a little worse and I only have had the car for 2 days. when you get on the gas and shift up the car revs freely while I shift 500 sometimes 800 rpms. I believe this is the stock clutch going out but I need to be sure. Sorry I'm a newb.

Edit: This is only when I go say 4k rpms just driving the car normally keeping it under or around 3k it doesnt do it.

 

Sounds like ur clutch had the crap kicked outta it during some hard test drives! Go back to Mitsu right now!

 

Sounds like the previously discussed throttle issue. I ended up figuring out how to drive around it, but for the longest time it bugged the **** out of me. It revs up a bit for like 1.5 seconds right? Then all is well? When you re-engage the clutch, it feels solid and grabby still correct?

Here's the thread btw

My friend has an sti and has made numerous track visits, one of which he made 20+ passes. His car last night still pulled a 1.74 60ft. All that "abuse", and it is still holding strong. Must be nice.

 

Its an 03 used that has 7800 miles.

 

Well I'm relieved its probably not the clutch. But its really annoying and when I do begin to track my car I'm worried I'll hit the revlimiter because of the rpm rise when I shift to the next gear. I was told the air/fuel ratio is rich but not to rich because the car has a custom tune from dynoflash.

 

When I got my evo it had 200 HARD miles on it. I drag-stripped it 9 times and auto-crossed 2 times. When I traded it in it had 24,xxx on the stock clutch.

The car had over 300+ whp by 1200 miles. I beat the **** out of it and never had a clutch issue.

Conclusion: No problems here. I miss the evo badly and would recommend it to anyone. Now if only it wasn't a mitsubishi
