My Ride:
BMW E60 M5 V10 6 Speed --- Ducati Monster 696

iTrader: (4)
well i dont know about the evos but i preload my drivetrain whenever i can like this


1. put shifter in first gear
2. you bring the engine to your desired launch rpm
3. pull up on emergency brake while keeping your thumb on the button so it wont lock
4. release the clutch up to the point where it starts to grab (this takes the slack out of the drivetrain therefor reducing the initial shock introduced to all associated drivetrain parts)
5 put the handle down and launch

my vr4 has seen countless 5-6k launches and my drive train is PERFECT

I would also note that you have a new clutch and you may smell burnt ceramic for awhile. I get it every so often with a sloppy launch. when does mitsu say your clutches break in period is over?
