Hi i just recently purchased a evo9. now that the brake in period is up i tried launching it a few times to get the feel of it for drag racing. now i have heard that these clutches are weak but i mean ever time it started to slip and would smell pretty bad.. Is this normal on the stock clutch or what. i would say i was reving it between 5-6k and letting out the clutch fast but not a complete dump and every time it would slip the clutch? Any thoughts thanks Adam ...

that is the perfect way to launch the car yes the clutch is weak but figure what your doing to it. mine has 30k on it now still goes good I dont launch it. You will smell that horride smell every time untill you upgrade it but honestly you should always slip the clutch a bit on a launch other wise you will damage your transfer case and that is and expensive fix

my car has 35k iv only had it the car for maybe 5k.last week was the first time i launched the car,fooling around with my friends 05 GSXR 1000(ill post up the vid soon) so know when im driving my in 3rd,4th or 5th my car feels like clutch is sliping only from 4000 to 5000 not when the clutch is ingaging.iv checked all the hoses and found this one 1/4 in hose that was not hooked up to the injectors.i hooked it back and add some clamps and the car still runs funny.is this poor turbo driving skills or a bad vac???Emonz HELP!!!

what does it do? does the RPMs float up and down alittle? if so you got a bad clutch

Its Your Clutch... it Starts off in High Rpms then Gets Lower and Lower Until You Cant Drive it anymore..... If i Where you Id get a Exedy Twin Disk. Thats what i have on my EVO VIII. And for the Guy Launching his Evo at 5k 6k... Lower your Rpms a lil Or Very Soon You T case will be Gone And othere Stuff.
