How many miles did you last when you were on your stock clutch and how fast are you to the wheels?
How many miles did you last when you were on your stock clutch and how fast are you to the wheels?
I have been posting this pic all over lately haha.
5100 miles for me. A lot of people here complain they "only launched once" or "I don't drive it hard WTF"...bull sh*t. I launched the hell out of mine. I bought it to drive it, and it won't be my last clutch, so I started a wall for it.
346/371 on a Dynapack
Cop: You know you have fire coming out of your exhaust?<br />Me: Yes I do.<br />Cop: Ok. I'll be right back.

BONE STOCK FROM HEAD TO TOE
haha your down lolOriginally Posted by plan:b
4800 on first and now I'm right at 16,000 on second factory clutch and slips like crazy now (have to drive it like a 100cc moped floored and waiting for it to get up to the speed of traffic 2 minutes later; just hating life now, ahahaha). Aggressive driving but not abusive. Stock clutches are weak (and expensive)... hopefully able to replace with aftermarket this weekÂ*
27k+ miles.........still on 1st clutch. Still works like the day I bought it. Pushing 340hp/340tq. Aggressive driving but not crazy/abusive......no way will I ever launch my car. WTH are some of these clutches dying after 5k?!?
Do-Luck status
60k 350/320.

thanks guys and great numbers!! looks great seeing that the stock clutch can uphold plenty of power and still plenty of room for power with this stock clutch!

how about instead of posting how many miles and power, we also post if you had the clutch pill removed.
Added another one to the wall yesterday.

I think another question for the low-mileage clutch guys is whether they've had the master cylinder issues as well.
36k and still going! got a new clutch waiting to be put in, just dont know when yet.
EVO X 08 AP
Replaced clutch with Exedy Stage II Clutch and drove for months.....then clutch master cylinder (CMC) goes out. Replaced with new Mitsubishi factory CMC and sadly that didn't last for months like the last one; this one lasted less than a day.Â* Found out that the Evo X has changed their CMC to plastic and can even fail with stock clutch under spirited driving. Other makes seem to do a little better but "Exedy clutch + stock CMC = CMC death" for sure. Searched in other forums and everyone confirms it. If you change to any aftermarket racing clutches, do yourself a favor and also change out the CMC. I'm now waiting on an EVO IX aluminum CMC kit that converts to EVO X usage. The shop I took it to says they've already done one not long ago and it's a lot work but guess it must be done sooner or later. Some kit's do not require cutting to fit so shop around.
Another Evo X owner that has gone through a lot of clutches says he's tried every make and so far has the best mileage on Act clutches and flywheels. I'll have to see how my setup holds up and may have to consider Act the next time around. If not for the stop and go traffic, I would surely stay with stage II; it's great after you get ride moving along off of a stop. This being my dd and having to deal with LA traffic and on ramps all day, stop and go just kills (literally my clutch, fly, and my leg =[).
Just want to report back that my shop put in an SSP aluminum CMC; looks like good quality parts and all aluminum. Cost a little more than some other options but don't see any plastic parts on it like some other options. They even included a nice steel braided cable and no cutting required. The new CMC put in seems to have a little less clutch pedal travel then stock (but then again I believe there is an adjustment for this). It seems to engage into first gear more solidly with much less chatter but way too early to tell because I haven't put much driving time on it yet; I haven't seen enough hills and driveways and stop and go traffic yet, LOL.
