    if you have never done an EVO clutch job then do not tackle it yourself. Without ALL of the proper tools you will regret attempting it and you will find yourself with more downtime on the car then expected.

    well i dont know details on how to do it yourself...

    but labor is usually 6-8 hours on most shops around town. Topspeed does it for a good price. Also, Dyno4mance up in calhoun does it really well, and for a good price as well.

    All i can say is, if you've never worked on an evo, i wouldnt recommend doing it yourself because when mine was changed, there was a lot of trouble, so.

    As far as what clutch to get, you cant go wrong with ACT. It's good up to 450awhp i believe. I have a Exedy Stage 1 in my car, which basically holds up to 450awhp as well.

    I have no complaints for my clutch, but everyone swears for the ACT.

    Here is a very common setup most of our customers go with.

    - ACT Street Disc Clutch Kit - $499.99
    - (3) Redline MT90 Trans Fluid - $30.00
    - (1) Valvoline 85w 140 - $7.99
    - Labor (Package Discount) - $504
    - Shop fee - $5.00

    Total $1046.98

    In and out in one day. Only thing that would determine more costs would be a damaged flywheel. Which cost $50.00 for resurfacing or more for a replacement.

    Let me know if you have any questions. I'd be happy to help you out.

    I wouldn't suggest a stock clutch. I've had customers with brand new cars with 1200 miles ruin them. But I will give you a price for it Mitsubishi OEM Clutch kit $379.99

    No payment plans sorry.

    ^^ what he said...

    stock clutch will go out very quickly... mitsu put it in there weak like it is as a "safety" device for your transmission.

    go with act or exedy, you wont regret it.
