Competition Clutch 2008-2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 10 Stage 2 - Steelback Brass Plus Clutch Kit
A tuned Evo X GSR with intake, exhaust and a flash will start to slip the factory clutch in third and fourth gear, usually right as boost peaks. Most of those cars still see daily driving, so the owner wants more holding power without a race-clutch pedal or chatter. Competition Clutch 5153-2100 is the Stage 2 single disc kit built for that job on the 2008-2015 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 2.0L five-speed with the pull-style release.
The 4B11T sends its torque through a single disc clamped between the flywheel and a pull-type pressure plate. Stage 2 raises both sides of that equation: a performance pressure plate adds clamp load, and the full-face disc adds friction. Competition Clutch describes its Stage 2 line as using Brass Plus friction on an alloy backing for aggressive street and moderate track use. Because the disc is full face rather than puck style, engagement stays smooth and progressive, and the maker calls the pedal only slightly firmer than stock. The capacity gain is stated two ways on the Competition Clutch page: 40 to 50 percent in the product text and up to 80 percent in the general Stage 2 description, so plan this kit for mild to moderate builds and step up to Stage 3 or 4 for big turbos.
The kit includes the pressure plate, disc, throwout bearing, pilot bushing and alignment tool. The flywheel is not included.
Roll into fourth gear at low rpm and go to full throttle; if the tach climbs faster than the car speeds up, the clutch is slipping. Check the clutch fluid level and bleed the system, and confirm there is no oil on the bellhousing from the rear main or input seal, since contamination will ruin a new disc too. Our slipping diagnosis guide covers the full process. If you plan a larger turbo or E85, the Stage 3 segmented ceramic kit holds more and still uses the same flywheel.
Our listing names the 2008-2010 Lancer Evolution X. Competition Clutch lists 5153-2100 for the 2008-2015 Lancer Evo 2.0L five-speed manual with the pull-style release, which is the GSR. Evo X MR models use the twin-clutch SST automatic and do not take this kit. If your car has had a gearbox or flywheel swap, match the release style and flywheel, or send us the year and VIN before ordering. Related Evo X and drivetrain parts are in our rebuild kits department.

No. The MR uses the twin-clutch SST automatic. This kit is for the 2.0L five-speed manual with the pull-style release, which is the GSR.
No. Competition Clutch lists the flywheel as not included. Resurface yours or pair it with the 11 lb steel flywheel 2-645-1STU.
Performance pressure plate, single full-face disc, throwout bearing, pilot bushing and alignment tool.
Competition Clutch describes smooth engagement and a slightly firmer pedal than stock, so it suits daily driving on a modified car.
Yes. Shift as often as possible during the first 500 miles so the disc material beds into the pressure plate and flywheel before hard use.
If you are running a larger turbo, E85 or regular launches, the Stage 3 segmented ceramic kit holds considerably more torque at the cost of a sharper engagement.
