I wouldnt laugh at anyone that takes that kind of attitude.

If the revs have ever gone above 2k with your foot anywhere near the clutch (apart from all the way in) then thats something you shouldnt be doing.

Unless the clutch is all the way down, the revs should notever go above 2k (sorry if this seems stupid to you)

When shifting gears the clutch should be all the way down... and should be all the way up before adding any signifficant throttle.

When pulling away from a stand still, the revs should never leave 1.5ish with your foot still on the clutch. As soon as you are moving your foot should be off the clutch.

Do you know what your doing wrong now?

Also having the clutch partially pushed down (while in gear) for a long time will burn the ever loving **** out of it

yup i tend to add gas before fully releasing the clutch on all my gears. and i tend to let the clutch go between 2g or higher. but thanx i guess im gonna practice with this clutch before i put in a new one and for 1185 i might as well spend 500 more and get the exedy. or should i buy the act.

Exedy actually makes the stock clutches. So thats not a performance upgrade. But it should do just fine.

Adding a little gas before fully releasing the clutch is ok. But giving it a lot of throttle before releasing the clutch is not.

Starting off from a stop with the revs above 2k will surely burn the clutch.

So you have 7k on this car?

Remember, when your foot is partially on the clutch.. its more than likely slipping.. and the more gas you give it.. the more its going to burn.. and the longer you leave it in that position... the more its going to burn again.

yes exedy makes the stocker but the exedy twin which he is talking about as an upgrade is one of the best clutches you can buy for the Evo.

Well worth Every penny is the review I got from TONS of people who paid the extra cash and got and exedy twin so yes by all mean DO THE UPGRADE

How do you know hes talking about the twin? (because he said 500 bucks more?)

By the way.. the labour on that is going to push it all into like 2500 bucks to do it

because he said 500 more than 1185 which is about right for the twin

dude if he doesnt go to the dealer he will pay $1500 for the twin and another 500 for labor that is about average. the dealer charges for 10 hours labor on a clutch and it normally takes like 5-6
