08 evo x starts with clutch out in neutral?
Hey guys. This is my first post here. I have a 08 evo x. My question to you guys is it normal for the evo to start with the clutch out if its in neutral? Obviously most manual cars you need to press the clutch down. Is this normal when i put it in first gear and try to start it with the clutch out it bucks foward like you let the clutch out too quick. Is this normal do these cars have a clutch switch? Thanks guy!

hey guys, so i looked under my dash and I see the white little button/switch the clutch pedal hits when all the way down. I think the previous owner bypassed it when installing a hks turbo timer for the vehicle. Does that sound right?

hmmm... this is all news to me... typically you can jump the plug or just disconnect the sensor to bypass it. thats probably the case for the OP
i have never heard the thrust bearing issue before. ever... i actually sit there and pump my clutch when i'm bored...
i can see how the pressure plate puts tension on everything but i could swear the pilot shaft pressed into the flywheel and wouldn't that counter the effect? anyway offtopic i know.
best of luck with the issue..

@afd, i sit at a stoplight all the time in neutral. But i see the sensor behind the clutch pedal but its unplugged and i cant seem to find the plug that plugs into it? Any help?

Maybe you meant that the Evo X has only one fully-down clutch switch, which will make it hard to disable the need to press the clutch to start without having the clutch-in rev-limiter active all the time. If so, apologies. The OP may need a work-around for the clutch-in rev-limiter via software.
In any event, it's all described and discussed here: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...vo-x-10-a.html
