Life of a Stock CLutch Show your mileage.

[tarmacMR9]

Hey guys/gals. I was wondering what's the life of a stock clutch? mention mileage when you started noticing any slippage or POWAAH MOds that caused premature failure. Also is it normal for a lil grinding on cold start driving from 1st to 2nd gear? I have an 06 MR with 13,343 miles and have just started to notice a lil grind on cold driving. ive driven the car normally, no track use, hard launch, redline shifting on occasions. Tell your stories.

[MJCT9A]

2004 Evo8 and gone thru 3 turbo swaps...with the stock clutch still graspping...@ 50k miles...I don't track it nor launch it ocassional spirited drives here and there...

[Boosted]

04 rs, 19,XXX feels the like new still

[ultraflip]

88kish miles before i decided to replace... 360whp at that time

[evobros]

ive never heard of a grinding problem for a evo before.....especially just becuz its cold....dont u have warranty on it i would call it in.....

[ZZZccHH]

Evo 8 and Im at 50,000 Miles and Its gonna have to be replaced soon. But still ok for now

[tarmacMR9]

nice guys...keep it going...
you know the grinding is when i take off from 1st to 2nd definitely after start up...its more like notchiness...but i do feel the synchros...on low rpms under 3k. but if i drive a bit hard no notching at all...its weird cause i've heard MR's are smooth as butter...i think ill take it in.

[ASIXMRSE]

i notice that its a bit notchy when colr in my car as well. MY VIII did the same thing when it was coold.

My VIII had the stock clutch , all the way through 60k miles, and was holding strong. I sold it with that clutch in there. Car was putting down 320 wheel. A Launch here and there.... pretty rare. Spritied drives sometimes. Mainly got on it getting on the freeway, or quick 2nd 3rd gear pulls.

[DPK MR]

IX MR stock clutch @ 39,000 miles and perfectly fine. 300+ drag launches, Auto-X, numerous mountain runs. It's all about how you drive it. Stage 1.

[GilbertFlores]

mine got to 36k, i was the second owner and it was kind of "slipish" when i got it at 23k. had basic mods.

[dastallion951]

mine had 49k............

[MRIslandStyle]

49k 05' MR

[pensport]

58k 2005 VIII but clutch is starting to slip...any recommendations on a good clutch for track (road racing)

[Skiracer]

Evo IX 49K miles still on stock clutch and working well.Â*Occasionally track the car and never launched. 383whp at the moment

[j_nizzle]

03...37k miles when i replaced the clutch.

[o-townFLA]

Evo IX with 20,000 on the clock with 330/320 at 21psi. Maybe eight drag pulls with a best of 1.7 in the 60ft at stock 5000rpm two-step...

[WOT]

03 @ 41k with the whp listed below....i replaced mine just because i am planning on puttong on some more whp......oem clutch looked like it could have gone another 25 / 30k......maybe 1/2 worn.

[mnbvcxz]

[email protected] got me about 20 launches at the track.

[pog0]

06 MR with nearly 65k. Been tuned for nearly the entire life of the car 300+ whp. Over 100 launches, 2 track days, lots and lots of spirited driving. Pushing about 330 right now.

[Miss Evo8]

I got 60K out of my OEM clutch...a few launches...uncountable canyon runs and about 30 track days..I'm at around 76K now with another OEM clutch..tranny is getting notchy now when its cold but its smooth once its warm...I just drive him (my Evo) gently till his old bones get warmed up... I'm at 360hp/350tq or 320hp/312tq depending on who's dyno my car is on

[CASH$ MONEY]

this og ......... when i had my 03 love that baby lasted me 88 k with no probs... until i gave it to scm :2funny:

[GokuSSJ4]

03 with 36k miles 16 track days on an OEM clutch near 320whp at the time
05 with turbo 3076r turbo swap near 15k miles and 3 track days OEM clutch - no problem
06 IX FP green equip! 1 track day near 28k miles OEM clutch 0 problems....
I'm sure the stock clutch can handle more track days n 0 problems...

[DruMMinStUd06]

nice guys...keep it going...

i had this problem...took it into 3 different dealers and got the same answer: bring it back when its worse. apparently it wasnt a big enough problem to have it fixed.

[enVmyIX]

19,000 miles, clutch started slipping this weekend. im probably at around 315whp
probably due to the combination of learning how to properly drive an awd car and learning how to launch

[choicelaw]

IX with about 23k ish miles, no launches. Holding all my mods very nicely.

[TeKiZeRo]

17K on my IX with 2 track days and 1 Auto-X. Currently making 356whp/353wtq with mods in sig.

[melachu]

[evo87]

[sxe_davexxx]

evo 8 30k and was still holding tuff...
evo 9 23k gave out completely...

[tarmacMR9]

wow..seems that evo VIII's clutches are holding up better..umm can it be the oem materials changed? should be the same clutch.

[salukidude]

[rino]

39k and still running strong with Stage 1+ and E85 tune.


you don't drive aggressive enough! :)

mine only lasted 38k - 5k miles after I got stage 1+

[kimletrim]

I have 2700 miles on my stock clutch.

[CASH$ MONEY]

all depends, a stock clutch can last 100K or it can last 1K.... its all about how you drive.

[GokuSSJ4]

all depends, a stock clutch can last 100K or it can last 1K.... its all about how you drive.
100k on a stock clutch is pushing it! specially on the amount of mods and the amount of abuse it has seen.. Talking about track related.. even if this happens when you road race and leaving the 1/4 mile track which will murderer just about any clutch.. but for the most part it should be able to last at least over 50k.. unlike on what some folks have experience...

[CASH$ MONEY]

i used to live in corona, drive back and forth to santa ana/ anaheim/ san pedro 6 Days a week.

had an 03 gsr, with common mods... turbo back+ cams with a stock clutch that lasted me 93,000 miles before selling it back to SCM!

for normal driving that thing shouldn't have any problems.. give it something to work on and it won't last as long..

[05EVOMR]

Mine lasted about 80k with light mods and heavy auto-xing and canyon driving

[babieeddie]

15,000 ON STOCK. THEN 5,000 ON AFTERMARKET [:

[diegoalunan]

47k as of today still on my stock clutch .. just basic bolt ons for me

[Supra2JZGTE]

50,500 on stock and still going.Â* NO slipping.Â* No engine mods though, yet.Â* Clutches are expensive for the EVO.

:mitsu: 2005 Evolution 8 MR

[ChrisF]

37K on my '03 before I replaced it with the first round of mods. It probably had another 15K left on it at the time but changed it as a preventative measure. Now on the RRE no-name with 23K and no slippage or sign of it.

[raph]

I have minor slippage on the stock clutch when starting our in 1st or reverse. 29,000 miles on my 2005 Evo VIII 5 speed.

[RSevoIX]

61,xxx!!!

[heingtaing]

47k

[Supra2JZGTE]

I fucked up. My shit is slipping in 1st like a mofo! Its time for a new clutch.

[djibutievo87]

second owner around 40k it started slipping deciided to put an act clutch and i fixed my tranny, getting it back today

[EvilAWD10]

WTF mine went out after 9k miles. i didnt launch it but a handful of times. it went out pretty quickly with normal sprint driving without having to launch.

I had a buddies go out after 2k miles. seriously feel like a newbie driver right now

[zz this]

04 65k gonna need to replace soon'

[diegoalunan]

but yeah still runing my stocker... kinda babying it.. with the occasional spirited shifting :)

[MR420]

25K STILL GOOD AND STRONG. :mitsu: FTW

[christoph562]

19,000 miles, clutch started slipping this weekend. im probably at around 315whp
probably due to the combination of learning how to properly drive an awd car and learning how to launch


slippin at 27k. probably due to same circumstances.

[714benz]

I have a 03 67k evo and will have Costa Mesa Mitsubishi replace stock clutch this week.

you = baller!

[HardRideCafe]

I had about 43K before I noticed any slipping. Though mine is a daily driver.

[Saosin]

my stock IX clutch lasted me 29,994 miles with numerous launches and spirited driving with tbe,mbc,intake

[150on91]

My 06 MR has 49K and has begun to slip slightly in 5th and 6th gear when the boost hits at mid to high rpm. (300whp + driven daily...in traffic)
The car has been to a few road race events and autox. I think daily driving kills the clutch faster then the track. Anaheim Mitsu quoted me $1,200 installed.

[pjb00stin]

my 05 clutch lasted 37xxx miles until it started slipping.i drove on it for 1000 miles and it started slipping BAD.i replaced the cltuch and flywheel with ACT and RRE products.

[TBO EVO IX]

At 46K and no problems. 8)

[MaxKanisha]

I can attest to this.. His clutch was slippin pretty bad when I rode in his car.

Anyways, for me.. 6.8k miles and its doin fine. :lol:

[VinceR]

3,800 miles on stock clutch 70-80 drag racing launches and nothing but "spirited driving"...LOL

[PartyMarty]

05'. OEM clutch went out at 21K miles. The car as it sits now, has 28,000 miles. Had the clutch replaced with an Exedy St. 1, worst purchase ever. Went out after about 5K miles. I call shenanigans on the installer.

[dp310]

im at 24k... soon gotta get my clutch changed but not the time yet ....
somebody left a note in my car last weekend at the long beach redbull drifting comp.
" used hks dual plate clutch ....used 200miles $500 "

who installed it?

[tony91505]

I had 70k on my evo9 and had it replaced at RRE a couple of months ago. the new clutch seems to have PIS much lower than the stock. I launched the stock clutch many times as well as HPDE at the track and it still had life on it when I changed it.

[LiquidLife]

You must have engaged your stock too quickly to have had a good launch, from what i've seen most stock clutches bite the dust after a few good launches. That's what the pros say, just don't launch on the stock clutch, and it will last for a while.

Mine ate shit after about 30,000 miles, Alfred at TTech said it was glazed over, like melted, hahaha.

I now have a much better clutch, see my signature.

[Wicked05]

JUST replaced mine. Literally picked up the car last night at RRE. BEST SERVICE I've ever had in an aftermarket shop.

66k miles. Per RRE disc had alot of meat left, and flywheel was still in GREAT shape, however, pressure plate appeared to be weak. I felt some shudder and longer engagements, so decided to change.

I probably could have gone longer.

Brisk driving, no hard launches, daily driven...

New clutch, ss line and no pill = amazing response.

[4G63TURBO]

i replaced mine right around 48k i think. still had a little life left in it but i could tell it was starting to go after a track day at sow. pulled it out and it was all kinda of colors... guess i heated it up pretty good. flywheel was in perfect condition though. now i have an act hd ss kit, ss line and no pill as well... and it's woooooorlds better than the stocker.

[BHCevo]

I've got 100k on my stock cluthc still going strong. 310+ awhp.

No launches but other than that i drive hard.

No idea how/why people are killing clutches at 50k or whatever.

[Evolutionized]

what a depressing thread

[335eater]

+1.... i agree with this person. i'm not disrespecting how ppl want to drive 'their' cars. but so far so good. i have 58K+ and it still feels pretty strong. (now i hope after i write this nothing happens....lol)

[Skiracer]

383whp , 55K miles, still stock clutch and no slippage O0

[335eater]

didnt put much of a story on mine, car had a tbe and started slipping at 9k, its at 449whp right now with an act clutch and its going good at 22k

[Ixse]

32k and still going strong. Had couple launches before.. occationally driven hard.. daily driver.

But I do try to drive very smooth when normally driving, trying to put least stress on the trany as possible

[MR420]

I had to change mine at 30k started to slip in 3rd 4th gear I never lauched it but I bought it at 12k felt good at that time. I got ACT clutch combo now,It works great.

Launching seemed like the obvious culprit.

I read/saw in Top Gear that they got great launch results by using the hand brake (car in 1st, clutch out, handbrake up).
Does this work? Anyone try this?

[fimotorsports]

my stocker went out at 18k, not from burning it up, the pressure plate just wouldn't hold up the 410 ft lbs of torque!

yes its called pre-loading the clutch. I have done it on all types of clutches but this method is not needed on a stock clutch on a stock turbo imo.

[TheTank]

41k and it's done. Will be replacing soon. :)

[FreddysEvolutionIX]

Evo IX, second owner 45,xxx mi. Not enough power mods to blow it yet.

[evopaul]

14k and still strong

[Timujin]

31000+ miles on the stock clutch. I am the 2nd owner and the clutch seems to behave normally. Shudders a little when it's cold taking off in 1st until things warm up. It engages quickly & slips well when taking off briskly.

[jo3y]

I'm at 43xxx on stock clutch...

[silverc]

I just finished today in replacing the clutch on my 04 evo 8 and it only took me 4 days. anywho it had 52,XXX miles on it when i replaced it and i started to notice it sliping around 50,000 miles. i'm the only owner and it had 35 miles of the lot. i say it lasted me awhile since it did take me from california to virginia and back with several hard launches. but mostly it was rolling starts from 2nd or 3rd.

[EVOcrazy]

2003 Evo VIII, ~71K miles on the original clutch

Daily driven for 5 years, 1 track day, 4 AutoXs... this week engaging the clutch started making a knocking sound but no slipping or anything else noticebly changed.Â* Will take it in for a check up.Â* Â*:buck2:

[Enyth]

I have an 05 with stock clutch at 100,600 miles (yea lots of miles).Â* We'll see how long it lasts after I get my cams installed today! :D

[KarbonEvo9]

yah it would be helpful to see how much power ur car is making and the milage

[Sr20kidD]

just hit 70 on stock clutch

[camMCLEAN]

60k

[Abdizzle]

I don't think the clutches are "weak" on these cars. They are just exposed to excessive abuse as opposed to other cars. No one buys 5-speed Camry's to launch them at 5K RPM or mod it to 350WHP, etc.

There are tons of people getting 75K+ on their stockers. I personally believe all these incidents of people killing their clutches before 25K miles are a result of driver error/abuse.

EDIT: My bro's previous Evo's clutch lasted until 91K when he sold it, who knows how much more life it had.

[jdmcwestevo]

mine is just about done at 58k starting to slip bad not sure if its the original but its oem for sure

Time for a new clutch O0

My stock clutch in my VIII lasted me 12k miles! woot!

The IX has close to 80k miles now on stock clutch... been to the track many times but no launches what so ever.. ^-^

[littlejap33]

maurisco is super good at clutches!!! i recommend him

[illestjcollector23]

im on 44k now!

[soontobe]

swapped mine out at my 60k service and there is still some life left in it, but the new clutch feels so damn good!

[jdmcwestevo]

58k and mine is pretty much down for the count cant boost without slip got a new clutch goin in next week if i get time

[logikal]

Previous owner replaced the stock clutch at 25k with another stock clutch. I bought the car at 35k. Now has 85k. So 60k miles, still feels the same as when I bought it.

though maybe it just feels the same because its been going off slowly. Hrmm. Time to test for slippage!

06 IX with 55,400 miles and it's fine

[EvoVIIIGSR]

Upgraded OEM CLutch to ACT 3200 kit at 92k due to heavy slip and not much more drivability left....really started to show right after I got tuned on e85 @ 380whp. Not sure if it was the original clutch since I bought her used in april '08 @ 69k.



p.s., EB bump! ^^^^

I got about 44K out of my stock clutch.
I'm on my second ACT HDSS.

so stock evo ix clutch only lasts about 50k ish? about the HDSS...I just got one installed with the streetlite flywheel. is it normal to have lockout at first? I'm also slipping a lil bit in 1st on takeoff. thanks!

[LakerFan]

Got 72k on stock clutch could of got more though

[benyuan5]

such a high margin of difference...crazy how driving habits affect it that much! I'm hoping to get 100k+ out of my ACT HDSS. I needa go buy a daily driver...lol

[Macky]

iirc someone here had over 100K on his stock Evo 8 clutch. let me find it. its possible.

[Apex Hunter]

^ Awesome, thank you for digging that up!!

[AlexEvo]

04 GSR very mild mods. MBC -> 21psi holding to redline. Turbo hotside Evo 9 upgrade. intake/full exhaust. Tuned but not dynoed. 120,xxx miles on stock original clutch.

[Orange Max]

I bought my Evo with 48K on the car and got all the service records from the previous owner. She never replaced the clutch. I proceeded to another 72k on the clutch (total of 120K) before I replaced it. When we took the clutch out it still had material on it. I kept the disk and I'll post a picture later. Just so everyone knows, I do lots of freeway driving. I'm sure that had a lot to do with how long it lasted.

[openmynd11]

49 on the stock clutch. Bought it at 39k from original owner. I replaced it with a comp clutch stg 2 and holding up fine with 429awhp / 430tq... slightly stiffer then stock clutch feel.

[boosties]

2011 Evo X, 60K miles. I was tuned at 2,000 miles by Naji. Got e85/91 dual map at kt motoring at 22,000 miles. Then a MHI turbo swap at 54k miles. Still going strong no signs of it dying any time soon.

[artinist]

77k, no slip

[Steveco]

2003 Evo VIII, pretty much stock. At 88K miles the clutch is just starting to slip, however it's taken to making a grinding sound and sometimes a burning smell when I back into the garage.

I don't launch the car so I blame slogging from San Diego to L.A. and back every couple of months. :-)

[unidextrous]

Purchased my 06 MR with 61K and it went out 3-4k later.

[BryanF]

I might of wrote it before but I got 80k out of my stock clutch with 60k of it on E85 and #'s below. I've never launched the car though.

[JayOh28]

It was probably around 65k before it went out on my what was a DD 451WHP IX in LA traffic
