No... the cutch and pressure plate come together.

Just buy a brand new mitsubishi clutch kit. Its going to be cheapest for you.

 

Check the clutch for any oil or fluid on it. If you have been slipping the clutch a lot, you may have varnished it, meaning that it has a hard case burn on the outer surface. To check, find out where your clutch engages. If it is low to the floor, then that is the case. If it is high off the floor, yor clutch is worn. do yourself a favor and replace the entire assembly. That would include the clutch disk, Throw-out bearing, and the pressure plate. This will ensure that you do not have to go back into this again in the near future.

 

Sounds like you beat on the poor thing, if ya wanna rag something get a Honda. I've had my 3000gt for about 5 months now and not once have I spun the tires or raced anyone.

 

how about the smell ? have you ever smelled that burning smell after driving it? I spent $1300 on a complete clutch job for my vr4. ofcourse there was more odds and ends in that $1300.

 

i bought mine like that. it is definately clutch slip. you were probably either high reving too much. ie: you said the rpms go to 6000. or you were riding the clutch all the time at stop lights. when i got my clutch replaced it cost me about 1800 with parts and labor. i only paid 1300 bc i knoew the mechanic. this is not a minor repair though. your going to have to change your driving habits before you ruin a 98'. that's just my .02. haha
