Clutch for 7th Gen VR-4?

[kitefighter]

The clutch died on my VR-4 today after 91,000 miles.

Is there a decent after market alternative to the Mitsubishi original, and at a cheaper price?

Mine is the 6A12TT/ E84A type. (Manual of course).

Have a search for a JUN one. I think they make some clutch and flywheels for your car.

They didn't make a clutch for it, only a flywheel

You'll have to go for a Exedy after market one if you want something better.

Thanks, I'll try using an Exedy Clutch. But has anyone actually known if Exedy make one for the 7th Gen. VR-4? So far, all I can find by Exedy is a clutch for the 6th Gen. VR-4...

PM gdelargy - he replaced his last year (i think....)

[Goku]

Yes they do make one

I'm not sure on the parts numbers, but at lot of the 7g guys here use them.

How long is a clutch meant to last? Mine was done at 119kms..it's now 131....i can feel it grasping etc...going of in first..and sometimes changing down into second....there is only a little part where it catches,unlike on some other cars where you have heaps...

It all depends on your driving style.

Mine has lasted 4 years and is only now starting to give.

What are the signs it's going?

[Goku]

It starts to slip, doesn't have much bite to it anymore

Its the same clutch as the FTO which is 225x20x22.4mm which is also the same as the EVO-I-III as FTO owners put standard EVO clutches in as "uprated FTO clutches" (if you see what I mean) so go for either an EVO I-III clutch or an uprated I-III clutch.

I actually got my uprated one from http://www.xtremeclutch.com.au but I guess your not running 500+bhp so an EVO one will probably do you.

Try a Blue Print. Mine cost £200 inc vat. Done quite a few trackdays since it was fitted and another coming up on 9th November at Donington. If you come to view you'll see what the clutch has to cope with.
