Clutch HELP!!!
well i had just purchased my buddy's 05 evo VIII, and he had just installed an XTD Clutch. Now i have searched but got nothing. my question is when I had gotten it, I had NO problems... now after breaking it in, it seems to HUM when taking off in First Gear.... any ideas... I have had the clutch in there for about >1000K miles... I'm already looking into a new one now... are these ebay clutches SH*T or is it just me... Thanks in advance

I replaced my stock Evo clutch with an ACT Street Disc Clutch w/Streetlite flywheel. I have had no problems with it and I have no regrets so far. It suits the Evo's performance very well and it's reasonably price compared to the other ones. You're getting the most for what you pay for. Buy the combo pack like I did form Lancershop.com for under $800.00.

To the OP, that doesn't sound normal... did you install it yourself? If not, have the place who installed it have a look - they shouldn't charge you for it..
nawaz, i plan on going with the exact clutch setup you have when my stock clutch goes... the one thing I'm curious about is how it feels compared to stock. is it harder to push in and does it grab at the same spot?

well i talked to the one mechanic at my work, and he says it could be from moisture built up in it. Considering i work at a dealership here in buffalo, i wash the darn thing close to 4 times a week. This probably can't help cleaning the moisture out, also I have a carbon fiber hood which the scoops on it def. let in water from the snow too. And the clutch has been installed professionally. What i think i'm going to do is wait until spring when the weather heats up, and see if it still does it... and if it does I`ll replace it with the ACT, or something comparable.

get it checked as soon as possible--or just nut and bolt it yourself. hopefully its something simple/negligible.
good luck.

well seeing that its warming up around here in buffalo such as 33 degrees, compared to 2 degrees, she does not do it as much... so i'm maybe thinking it could be the cold and moisture from washing the car numerous times... i'm going to wait till the weather warms up before i start doing anything... will this F-Up my car if i don't take care of it right away or will i be ok until spring??
