I'm planning on going to Stoke next weekend to have WRD replace my slipping clutch, and was going to buy the appropriate kit from Camskill (oem item for Evo 1-3, a very reasonable £180 + delivery). However, their website said they wouldn't warranty a clutch unless a new flywheel was also fitted. When I enquired about this, they replied:
"Shouldn't be a problem on yours.
If it looks worn then get it refaced.
The reason it states it against the EVOs is they eat clutches and
EVO owners do not like fitting flywheels if they can get away with it."
I do like the odd traffic light launch when some smartass thinks he can jump ahead of the gigantic Japanese barge at the front of the queue, but mostly I think I treat my clutch with care. The car itself has 72,000km on the odometer, which looks/feels reasonably accurate, so it's OK to follow his advice and just change the clutch while leaving the flywheel alone, or am I taking a big gamble?
