Evo 6 clutch

[user3093]

Well it was bound to happen at some point, the clutch has started slipping badly as in I can't even let the turbo boost otherwise the revs go crazy and I go nowhere FAST!.

Need some help here guys, I contacted Ralliart here in Auckland and they said straight away that I would need a new Flywheel as well as a clutch kit, they told me this as soon as I told them it slips as soon as the turbo cuts in, he said that my flywheel would be all blue, at least I think that's what he said.

He then told me a range of options to go for i.e. ralliart clutches and or evo 8 clutches and flywheels along with offering the standard Evo 6 stuff.

Really I just want to know what you guys think is best and if what he said about replacing the flywheel without even having my car there is right and what option is best to go for?

Thanks people

As for flywheel, go for Fidanza. They have a really good name in the evo world :muhaha:
As for clutch, is your car standard? Is it used on track at all?

The car only has a filter and exhuast system, and only ever fast road use never track, but are they right about the flywheel?
cheers

normally whe the clucth is slipping and your still driving it then yes

i had the same problem with my IV and i had to have a new flywheel as well as it was burnt more than satan's arse

but like baz said go for a good flywheel :woohoo:

Just Replaced my clutch and flywheel 2 weeks ago mate.

Went for AP Racing organic clutch and fidanza flywheel. Don't really notice the difference with lighter flywheel, but then again my VI is down on boost just now

so it would seem a new flywheel is needed then, thanks people.

Have Fidenza got a website or can i obtain a price for one for my Evo 8 260...

Im thinking about saving the beer money and buying a Flywheel and Clutch ready for when mine gives up...

A Fidanza flywheel with an AP Organic is a good combination.Although if you replace the flywheel which 9 times out of 10 have to you may aswell go for flywheel and clutch for a 7 as they are slightly bigger

Fidanza aluminium flywheels are not so good..


From experience the aluminium expands more than the steel ring gear when it gets hot and the aluminium becomes compacted, when the flywheel cools it can leave the ring gear loose :shock:


The AP clutch is the one to go for though.
