Hay all

Before i go through with replacing my gearbox. I really thought hard about replacing my pressure plate because i really do think an evo 9 clutch is to heavy for a stock gearbox probably even heavier than a stock magna replacement heavy duty clutch for a magna. Just wondering if i can get a heavy duty pressure plate by itself and fit it on the evo 9 throw out bearing and disc. Will this work.?

Thanks Kurt

my TH stock pressure plate would not work with a evo9 clutch plate.. so i doubt you'd be able to go down that path

evo9 clutches are a bit heaver than a heavy duty replacement for a magna, yeah...

its all about how you drive the car though mate....

ive had the evo9 clutch in my TH for 8 months now.. trouble free.... but i never change gear hard or drop the clutch etc....

Yeah box is gone after one burnout. Disapointing but wat can u do. So theres no way another pressure plate could be applied to an evo disc.?

One thing you can easilly do is not do burn outs ??

Any magna gear box can take a fair bit of punnishment but there are limits and burnouts are those limits.

possibly man

but your better off changing how hard you pull the clutch pedal out ....

u can drive a car very hard without abusing it...

no need for burnouts UNLESS ur running slicks, (which you wouldnt be).. BUT if you do want to do burnouts, dont drop the clutch so hard.. with your tyres in the water and hand brake on its very easy to get a magna spinning up

i prefer to drive around the water at the drags.. but thats cause burnouts dont interest me.. i no they interest some ppl which is fine.. just gota be a tad bit more gentle on the car when doing it

The clutch is designed to be the weak point in the system. If too much torque is put through the gearbox the clutch is designed to slip.
Upgrade to a heavy duty clutch, then do clutch dumps on a sticky drag strip and your asking for problems, but you don't me to tell you that. ;)

If you plan to continue attacking the strip, save for a Quafe LSD center :)

nah man.. thats not right.. its not "designed" to slip when its engaged...


a clutch should never slip once its fully enagaged.. if it does, your clutch cant handle the amount of power you have and its time to upgrade....

Ok then. Well im gonna attack the strip. But no more burnouts.

Stop posting and guessing Kurt! get that G/Box out boy! so you know whats exactly wrong then you can plan your attack after. There ain't no big teeth on that magnetic plug just normal swaffe. You are not the only person to brake something that shouldn't, welcome to the world of aftermarket.

lol ok

The Mitsus - some of them anyway - have a restrictor valve in the slave cylinder that slows the escape of the fluid when the clutch is dumped, ie the clutch will have a chance to slip somewhat. Could someone PLEASE make a restrictor valve for Kurt with a release time of say 5 seconds? Then he could happily do clutch dumps all day long without breaking something!

I thought Magna's were supercars?

You guys are smart asses lol

evo's have these yeh

I assume its there to protect the clutch and gearbox from boy racers who do burnouts and flatshift, and who assume the Mitsu warranty covers broken bits that result (it doesn't).

I dont ask when i open threads smart ass comments from u. I dont care wat i do with my car thats my business im asking for simple advice and solutions. Not ongoing shit from you.

it doesnt do that much.. wears the clutch a bit quicker though

ive left mine in.. rather protect my driveline

That last comment of mine was not aimed at anyone in particular, Kurt. I had a conversation with a Mitsu workshop manager a few years ago about Lancers being seen as boy racer Evos, and some of the warranty claims that resulted. Mitsu automatically rejects any warranty claims on the drivetrain if there are indications the cars have been driven with excessive enthusiasm.

good move!

Ok mad max. Your other comments have been on the smart ass side of things. So if u could please stop these comments this will be much appreciated.

Wonder if that's why your other clutch died man? When mine was in with the stock clutch, my clutch lasted about 4 launches and it was toast. Took it out with the new clutch and now it bites like nothing else. These gearboxes and diffs are very strong if driven with some mechanical sympathy.
