My 2G pedal was super light with the 2600, but I also hadn't removed the restrictor pill.

My Evo, which I assume has the pill removed already based on how it feels, is much heavier with what I've been told is a stock clutch.

So I dunno, I'm seeing the reverse.

You don't need to put a 2600 or 2900 in an Evo. Most guys run the lowly HD which is called a 2100 on the DSMs with a sprung 6-puck and that setup holds 700+whp, which is more than the Exedy twin disc for the Evo will handle.

How does that work? does the clutch just have that much more surface area or are the rating systems different between the DSM and Evo PP? (sorry I have limited experience with the Evo)

As mentioned already, every car will have a different clutch feel. You could drive five different Evos and every one of them will feel a little different. Between adjustments in engagement points, aftermarket clutches and wear and tear, every car is a little unique in its clutch feel.

Just get out there and drive a few more sticks and you'll know what we mean.

have fun,
Curt

If anything, the clutch pill removal should yield a lighter feeling clutch since you're no longer pressing against the pill/spring. Should be a negligible change though, my guess is any difference people feel is due to fresh fluid and bleeding the system.

My guess is the pull style clutch that Evo's use.
