Evo Performance already lost a clutch !!
Obviously the burnouts on sticky tires is what caused it ...... but to compare on my 04 mach 1 I upped the power level to 400 rwhp and used racing slicks. I am still driving to this day on that stock clutch..... so to me this news is a bit dissapointing.

Evolution Performance, Inc. The clutch is officially Toasted, it lasted a lot longer then I thought! New one should be here tomorrow, but that one won't last long either! Upgraded clutches are going to be a must when running with sticky tires!

Pretty sure this was posted over in the modifications forum. Not surprising really. Clutch is often the weakest link, and it isn't meant to withstand that kind of driving for long. It's actually only surprising that they got 12 runs out of it.

They didn't break it in properly, I know I can speak for alot of people on here when I say the oem clutches from 05-09 take a BEATING.

I didn't even know that there was a procedure for breaking in a clutch! Would you mind sharing a few tips on how to do it properly?

Well, first, with the clutch pressed, you rev the car to about 6000 RPM, then quickly with the left leg...I KEED, I KEED! That is interesting about the clutch breaking inning...

All this talk of clutch issues makes me wonder how the automatic is going to handle power upgrades. You think it will have more or less problems than the manual. Burning through clutches was one of the reasons I went with the auto, I tend to like to launch hard and I figured more of the auto parts are warranty items and not wear items.
