The paddle shift is super satisfying. My son just bought the NA version of your car, and I can’t keep myself out of it. I suddenly need to make extra coffee runs
I got my SST because of budget. Down here there was a big price difference between sst and manual. Sometimes I miss manual but like you I really enjoy driving the sst, especially through the twisties.
Yeah they were around the same price when I bought mine but the SST is way cheaper these days. I sometimes also miss it but then I drive the mighty barina to work to get my fix 😂
Thanks mate, yeah I probably should have mentioned doing regular servicing to keep the SST working well. Will possibly do a video on how to change the SST oil in the future as I'm going to do it myself from now on.
Yeah it's my favourite colour for the Evo by far looks so good in different lighting. And yeah the SST is great in traffic and fun when there's no traffic so win win
hi there. i got my SST Evo X August last year. I choose SST over the manual because of relaxing drive and if switch to S-Sport, the car turned out to be a wild animal. and my wife can drive too. haha.
I can’t wait to buy the sst evo. I live in Minnesota and it’s snow for like half the year and the awd automatic is perfect for me. I just hope in a couple years it’s still affordable
Atm I have a manual S14 as my weekend car and looking to get an evo as my daily, I have the manual vrx lancer atm but I’m going to take your word and try my first auto. Cheers on the awesome video
Same here mate 12 XMR and loving it. Still hung onto my last car (Evo8) for the proper manual drive if I get an itch. However mostly drive the MR these days 👍
Yea I know it's a shame tbh. It's a nostalgia thing really. They do look mean though but the interior just sucks on the CP's. At least it's reasonably modern in the 7-9's 👍
Hi mate I've had mine for 6 years now and it has never let me down. I am about to rebuild the SST as my clutches are slipping a little but that's to be expected for a 2008 model with 175,000kms on it. If you can find one for sale that's already been rebuilt I'd say you will have years of reliability
Hi. Have you ever tried to do a Teach-in procedure to the clutches? That can really improve the feeling and also the remaining longevity and "grip" of them. I do it every sst oil+ filter change (which is about 2 years or 15k km). If you don't have the software tools to do it then there are some very good Aussie tuner to help you. One that I remember is Beeble(Adam)
Great video mate keep it up. I own a 09 Evo X MR with boltons + tune. I can honestly say that everytime i drive the Evo it puts a smile on my face, people rubbish the SST but in fact they are well engineered dual clutch boxes and can be built to haul some serious HP, just look after it. My SST is on its stock clutches and still holding strong @240KW at the wheels. Also an SST teach-in would re calibrate the clutches help with slip. PS. I also have a 2001 Silvia S15....
Thanks mate, yeah I really love mine and don't find myself longing for a clutch pedal to play with too often anymore. Ohh wow haha you have my dream 2 car garage 🍻
Hi I install the tein enduopro plus adjustable shocks and the ralliart handles way better than stock without lowering the car it fits like the stock shocks
Thanks for the reveiw I have a 01 sti 6 speed manual. Drove a 09 evo sst loved it after this vid im sold! I'll keep the subie for when I want a manual!!!
I'm being straight up, i prefer driving Manuals even in heavy traffic but the actual shift times in the SST is unbeatable however the gearboxes are extremely expensive to build for power $6,000 for like 600hp Stock 5spd will do that, However i have a samsonas sequential So i cheat for manual now haha Nice Evo X man :) i'm more of a Old gen JDM person but i got nothing against X / R35s etc
Thanks man and definitely each to their own and yeah agreed they can be costly to build but if done right they can hold lots of power and be a lot of fun to drive
Hey Ruben, yeah definitely each to their own as if we all had the same taste car makers wouldn't make multiple models and specs and life would be boring. I'd actually go the opposite of you and only get manual if a dual clutch auto wasn't an option. If it's a conventional auto then manual the way as those are no fun, like the Evo 7 for example comes in both auto or manual but the auto is a conventional torque converter box and is awful to drive.
@@tomm6789 but also more fragile when wanting to put power through it, both trans are to appease a certain crowd. I myself would take an sst over the manual just because of traffic where I live and I wouldnt want huge horsepower being that the only place I'd be racing too is a light most of the time😂
@@JacksonStrain thanks man 😊hope get 1 day but in malaysia evo x is very expensive its cost around rm 130k-150k depends on the condition.. but the normal lancer gt or proton inspira almost same price cost around rm30k-rm40k
i have one its a love hate relationship. i hate the maintenance cost I'm not mechanical :( but smoking stang 5.0 and dodge on mountain roads always brings a smile on my face
I’m someone who doesn’t love manual enough to deal with it in traffic living in a city with over 1 mill ppl so I’m glad the Auto seems to be pretty good in this car. I just know it’s going to be annoying hearing mf’s cry about me not driving a manual, I’ve never understood why people care what others want to drive
Thanks I definitely love mine still to this day. You get user to people having a cry that the car isn't manual but yeah I agree it's weird that people get so hung up on it
That transmission is full bolt on and e85 , put that big turbo and that transmission goes boom 🤯, the GSR is the only way to go but you will learn quick 🤑🤑🤑
I've had the car for 5.5 years and haven't had a single transmission problem, I now do have a bigger turbo on it but not a huge turbo as I want to keep it as a responsive daily driver. The SST is still going fine and has 165,000kms on it. I do plan on upgrading the clutches soon which is only a few thousand dollars to do and the box itself is very strong and doesn't need any upgrades. Search kosmic motorsport or RP motorsport if you want to see what the SST is capable of
Very different cars and price ranges, id say test drive both and see what you prefer. Though one thing I can guarantee is the Type R interior will be 10x nicer haha
Jackson Strain I just want something simple but still fun to drive. I told her I am not a fan of Honda. She Immediately told me you might as well buy a Corolla...haha
Jackson Strain Thanks, been watching your vids to see your perspectives on driving a Evo daily. Hopefully I would be able to seal a deal on one. Love and support from your subscriber :)
Hello. I’m interested in an evo but don’t know what I should get. I know I want an evo x. But I’m confused about automatic and manual. To my understanding in your video, your can can do both?
I have made a few videos showing how they drive now but watching videos can only do so much so I would suggest doing a driving both the manual and SST to see what you prefer. I obviously preferred the SST but I know its not for everyone
Hey Parker I don't have a link to the one in the video but this is the one I run now which is much better. rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F254347468505&campid=5338694905&toolid=10001&customid=
Hey Corey no it's an aftermarket Android headunit, I have a link to it in my newer videos and will have to update the description in this older video soon
I am debating between the auto and manual too, so youre using s-sport to preserve the clutch packs but wouldn't the quicker shifts be bad for the synchros or gears themselves? (putting more stress on them)
Hey mate, so the slower shifts you get in normal or sport mode are because the gearbox is slipping the clutches to give a smoother shift. When in S-Sport it will give the least amount of clutch slip and preserve the clutches, seems like it would be worse for the SST since It shifts so violently but it is definitely better to drive it like that
I absolutely love you’re videos mate!! Just a quick question, what headinit did u install in your evo? Looking at getting a similar one for my vrx. Thanks again matey!!
Just wanted to make sure, so in normal and sport mode the car will always be in automatic but in s sport it will always be in manual and never shift up unless the driver does so?
No you can drive the car in auto or manual in either normal sport or s sport but in s sport and auto it eill basically hold the gears longer and try to keep engine close to 6k rpm
@@JacksonStrain ahh I see, so in s sport it will technically still shift. So if I drive it on auto s sport is that still bad on the clutch? If in s sport I should only be driving it in manual?
@@spikeyboy yeah in amy mode and auto it will still shift and you could drive like it but i think you would hate is as the car will always be in 2nd amd 3rd gear at high rpm. Best off in manual and s sport which is more fun
@@JacksonStrain not a lot since it is aggressive I drive in sport mode in town and on the highway I go to normal mode just to get better fuel mileage. S-sport for me is good on the track haha 😁
@@MiaMariaMedia oh ok yep that's good, just make sure you try to use S-Sport when doing hard pulls as its better for the gearbox using that mode, bit if you're already using that mode at the track I'm sure you're aware
@@JacksonStrain yep only for hard pulls but you can only get into that when stopped ? I do love using sport mode as my car came running rich from Japan so loves to back fire on an hks catback 😍🔥
Hey mate it depends on how you're driving, if your trying to drive normally then change before 3,000rpm. If you're wanting to hit a bit of boost but not go crazy maybe around 4k rpm and if you're wanting to drive hard then shift between 5.5 -7k You get used to it though and will become second nature to you just like it does when driving a manual trans
@@kikoliezlleo hey mate, yes I downshift if ill be slowing down for the round about or turn. You want to always keep the car in the right gear so that it has proper acceleration, its hard to explain but you'll know what I mean as if you tried to accelerate in say 6th gear at 60kms an hour (which is bad for the engine so don't do that) it will feel like it is in the wrong gear so won't accelerate properly. So you always want to keep the car in a suitable gear for the speed and RPMs of the engine
@@JacksonStrain It grips better. its better on the dirt too. Had one. But yeah... bought a truck lol 😂 as u said u gotta keep things each to their own. Ended up buying a gtr last year. loved it. Missthe evox... then the ralliart(which the brakes kinda sucked)
I had both at the same time and can't say I agree with you on that other than the RA brakes sucking haha. I'm definitely wanting to get a GTR next though too seems like the logical upgrade now
@@JacksonStrain 100% . I didnt want to get a loan but ended up doing it. Bought the truck on full ... 10k down payment. found a gtr for 30k... 20k debt. SOOOO... ended up with a 300usd a month payments to the bank and 200usd for insurance cause u know... race car life lol btw... my gtr had bad tires... no breaking pads ... spend a few hundred dollars on it and bam... new car!
Hey Jackson, nice video. When in ssport mode, do you downshift manually, or do you let the gearbox do it for you? Is there any way which is superior? Also where did you get those cool paddle shift extensions ?
Hey Sid, I do the downshift with the paddles myself and usually just go down to 2nd gear and let the car do the downshift into 1st. As for the paddles they're from shift koncepts if you look down my video list near the bottom there will be a video of me installing them which was one of my 1st videos and there is a link to the paddles in the description
@@JacksonStrain my 2009 evo x is making 450bhp rn and soon going to for a tune up to 550 - 600bhp which clutch pack you reckon is a good choice, so far im looking at a Xtreme 200mm Twin Plate Solid Ceramic Clutch Kit
Hey mate, it's the FQ400 vent and is made by Andrew Pye. If you search evo x Facebook groups you might find one but he makes them in batches a few times a year and sells them that way.
Hey mate they're from shift koncepts I have made a video on installing them if you scroll down to my first few videos you'll see it and there will be a link in the description of that video to shift koncepts to buy some
I see why you like that auto hearing how fast the gear charge i like. But that slow ass gear charge in other auto would kill me im sitting there yelling at the car to charge gears, but after hearing this imma test out the dual clutch
@@ImDizzo nice man where was it tuned? One thing is make sure its had An SST service and if not get one asap as they should be done every 15,000-30,000 kms
Jackson Strain tune was done by Steve knight racetech making 183 kw. Unfortunately transmission hasn’t been serviced so the first thing I will be booking is that. Would you say it will need trans fluid and filter change?
@@ImDizzo oh ok yeah thats good power for a Ralliart, yes needs immediate SST service and S-Sport mode flashed to trans as Ralliarts don't come with that mode but can easily be flashed onto it. Make sure the clutches arent slipping and everything works fine trans wise if it hasnt been serviced as it is well overdue
Hi mate at the time of this video I was 257kw on E85 but have since changed turbos and am now at 287kw on E85. Those are Australian numbers so if you're in the U.S consider those mustang dyno figures
Hi Ainsley, the engines will be the same other than a revised timing chain which was in the 2011+ models I believe. Other than that it would just be the aftermarket modifications that will be different
I have changed many parts since filming this video including the turbo but have a few videos where I do pulls on either the stock turbo the new GTP712 turbo
Hey Jackson, I noticed you mentioned the whine in 2nd and 4th. I get that in my car too and was worried it was maybe a t-case issue. Glad to hear its not. Do you know what its from? Only get it on deceleration in even gears.
Hey Andrew it's completely normal and mine started doing it more after a teach in and software update so I asked AK racing about it and they said it's nothing to worry about. I can't remember what they said as to what actually causes it though
@@andrewlin5972 thanks Andrew and I definitely remember and appreciate all the people who have been here and commenting since I started. I did plan on doing a 1,000 subs giveaway but with corona virus slowing my work down a bit and stopping me from getting overtime hours I'm unsure if I'll still do it.
Jackson Strain yea i hear ya. This covid shit definitely sucks. I’ve been unable to work for the last months completely. I work in construction so most projects have been shut down.
It basically is yes, but still classed as an automatic and I've learned to just call it that to save arguments with manual fan boys that get upset about the non 5 speed evo
They're very different cars and the steering and handling in the Evo is next level, I suggest driving them both and seeing what suits your needs and driving style better
best bet is joining some evo facebook groups or searching for evoxforums on Google and reading up. be warned that servicing for any performance or turbo car will be higher than a normal commuter car but the trade off is how fun they are to drive
Yeah they also made an auto Evo 7 and Evo 9 wagon. Those were conventional torque converter autos though. The Evo X has a dual clutch auto trans made by getrag
Hey mate I'm not exactly sure how many kms I had at the time but its definitely become more noticeable in the last 1.5 years so I'd say around the 140,000kms mark
I have a question, I am looking at a 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer ralliart that is an sst and has 105k miles on it for my first car, would you recommend it? I wanted one that was a manual transmission but my parents won’t let me get one, would this be a good option and is it reliable?
They're good cars and generally reliable but just do some research into the SST repair prices and if you have a shop near you that can work on and repair them
@@JacksonStrain I just got a job at a mechanic shop from someone I know, I am just there to help right now and learn a little more about cars and stuff
Hey mate it's the same as this one rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F392929970036&campid=5338694905&toolid=10001&customid=
To be honest really. It's the other way around. Manual is cheaper for maintenance. But for preference it does boil down to what you like more for sure.
Rebuilding a MT transmission is do-able for people with basic maintenance skills and a hydraulic press, an automatic transmission is not build able at home, most shops just order a new one instead of rebuilding the automatic transmission.
They are a great car and as long as you maintain them they seem to be very reliable. Either the manual or auto is a great choice and btw the auto isn't a CVT in the Evo its a dual clutch auto instead, the CVT just comes in the non turbo auto lancers
To each their own, I choose my mr cause you wouldn’t fin a clean eco x here that’s not been heavily modified or priced wayyy high. Mines a 2010, with very low miles and a simple Ecu tune
Congrats on the MR, it depends on budget and goals. Best to work out what you want out of the car as to what to do, can start with full bolt ons and some E85 like I had when I made this video, I've since upgraded a few more parts if you watch my more recent videos
If you wanted to drag race regularly it would be the best option to get one with a rebuilt SST or get the SST rebuilt with upgraded clutches as once that's done they can handle more power and torque, for stock clutches 420nm is about what most tuners cap it at but once you upgrade the clutches you can as high as you like. My wifes MR has had multiple drag days and launches (when the previous owner had it) and with stock clutches and around 390whp it did a best of 11.81 quarter mile time.
@@JacksonStrain Lovely. I wasn't even aware that evos had this DCT option, since I've been in the diesel world for the past 2-3 years and all those automatics, ZF6/8 speeds hold around 1,000NM no problem and I got used to the absolute smoothness and robustness they offer and I just feel that manual transmissions doesn't do it for me anymore... both for daily driving and drag racing.
@@RY3ER_ yeah after owning this dual clutch Evo I think any cars that I buy from now on will he the same unless it's and older car that has the choice of manual or convention 4 speed auto as in that case manual is the better choice. But of looking into Evos and wanting something that can launch and make great power I'd look into Kozmic motorsports if you're in the U.S as they do some serious builds and are running 9s on one of their customers cars
Hi, its fine to drive it in Auto but when in sport or S-Sport mode it will always tey to hold the gears a bit long which is fine if you're wanting to drive hard but when just cruising it will be Nnoying and will use a lot more fuel. I mainly use the paddles to change gears yes. I have recently made a video showing how the car drives in all the modes in both auto or manual shifting which might answer the question better
@@JacksonStrain what kind of improvements have you made to the automatic transmission? ....i saw a video on youtube where the clutch basket scratches the gearbox

Hi, you will get mixed results when asking this question but it all seems to come down to how the transmission was maintained and driven by previous owners. Mine has been extremely reliable and but ultimately they will all need to be rebuilt at some stage which can be a costly process, if you buy the car and are aware of the costs and also buy one that is in good condition then you might be like me and get years of reliability
It still has a clutch, but with solenoid actuators that does the clutching for you. Unlike a traditional automatic transmission. Technically its not a traditional automatic theres nothing alike with it at all in functionality or technically with a traditional automatic. No one can change faster than a computer. Fastest cars in the world are auto's. Dct transmissions are the future. The computer clutches for you. Hint... the old school WRC evos were semi automatics enough said. Manuals are for emotional drivers not logical drivers even though i have driven manuals ha ha and got converted...... Logic says DCT automatics are the way to go, not emotions. SST transmission is a DCT transmission many manufacturers have there own name. DCT transmission cars...GTR 35 and up, Porsches, VW Golf r models, Audi sport cars, Dodge SRT autos, most of the top sports cars have DCT transmissions. Except the last Holden HSV models or ss. Emotions vs logic.
Yes agreed and I did mention in the video it's not the conventional boring auto as I've driven and not enjoyed them at all, it actually has two clutches one more odd gears and one for even so always has the next year engaged.

Thanks man and definitely each to their own and yeah agreed they can be costly to build but if done right they can hold lots of power and be a lot of fun to drive
great video mate. the SST is a great gearbox when u know how to look after them
Yep I absolutely love mine and think people should try them before bashing them.
Hello Brendon Harvey your still around good to see !!!
You still have your EVO ?
The SST is closer to a real WRC rally car than the 5 speed imo. Rally cars uses sequential gear boxes like F1s.
Can't argue with that
Absolutely good decision, the shifter mechanism are hell of a kind, fastest as PDK.
Thanks mate, now at 6 years of ownership of it and still don't regret it.
SST over manual all day for me
To each their own, I wouldn’t see myself getting a automatic when it’s available in manual
Hey Ruben, yeah definitely each to their own as if we all had the same taste car makers wouldn't make multiple models and specs and life would be boring.
I'd actually go the opposite of you and only get manual if a dual clutch auto wasn't an option.
If it's a conventional auto then manual the way as those are no fun, like the Evo 7 for example comes in both auto or manual but the auto is a conventional torque converter box and is awful to drive.
The SST is much faster of a shift than the human hand.
@@tomm6789 but also more fragile when wanting to put power through it, both trans are to appease a certain crowd. I myself would take an sst over the manual just because of traffic where I live and I wouldnt want huge horsepower being that the only place I'd be racing too is a light most of the time😂

Yeah buddy 🤘
I’m someone who doesn’t love manual enough to deal with it in traffic living in a city with over 1 mill ppl so I’m glad the Auto seems to be pretty good in this car. I just know it’s going to be annoying hearing mf’s cry about me not driving a manual, I’ve never understood why people care what others want to drive
Thanks I definitely love mine still to this day. You get user to people having a cry that the car isn't manual but yeah I agree it's weird that people get so hung up on it
That transmission is full bolt on and e85 , put that big turbo and that transmission goes boom 🤯, the GSR is the only way to go but you will learn quick 🤑🤑🤑
I've had the car for 5.5 years and haven't had a single transmission problem, I now do have a bigger turbo on it but not a huge turbo as I want to keep it as a responsive daily driver. The SST is still going fine and has 165,000kms on it.
I do plan on upgrading the clutches soon which is only a few thousand dollars to do and the box itself is very strong and doesn't need any upgrades.
Search kosmic motorsport or RP motorsport if you want to see what the SST is capable of

Hello. I’m interested in an evo but don’t know what I should get. I know I want an evo x. But I’m confused about automatic and manual. To my understanding in your video, your can can do both?
I have made a few videos showing how they drive now but watching videos can only do so much so I would suggest doing a driving both the manual and SST to see what you prefer.

Hey Corey no it's an aftermarket Android headunit, I have a link to it in my newer videos and will have to update the description in this older video soon
I am debating between the auto and manual too, so youre using s-sport to preserve the clutch packs but wouldn't the quicker shifts be bad for the synchros or gears themselves? (putting more stress on them)
Hey mate, so the slower shifts you get in normal or sport mode are because the gearbox is slipping the clutches to give a smoother shift. When in S-Sport it will give the least amount of clutch slip and preserve the clutches, seems like it would be worse for the SST since It shifts so violently but it is definitely better to drive it like that
I absolutely love you’re videos mate!! Just a quick question, what headinit did u install in your evo? Looking at getting a similar one for my vrx. Thanks again matey!!

Just wanted to make sure, so in normal and sport mode the car will always be in automatic but in s sport it will always be in manual and never shift up unless the driver does so?
No you can drive the car in auto or manual in either normal sport or s sport but in s sport and auto it eill basically hold the gears longer and try to keep engine close to 6k rpm
@@JacksonStrain ahh I see, so in s sport it will technically still shift. So if I drive it on auto s sport is that still bad on the clutch? If in s sport I should only be driving it in manual?
@@spikeyboy yeah in amy mode and auto it will still shift and you could drive like it but i think you would hate is as the car will always be in 2nd amd 3rd gear at high rpm. Best off in manual and s sport which is more fun
I found the s-sport mode a year after owning it lol I didn't know about it for so long 😂
Ohh wow haha, how often do you use it now?
@@JacksonStrain not a lot since it is aggressive I drive in sport mode in town and on the highway I go to normal mode just to get better fuel mileage. S-sport for me is good on the track haha 😁
@@MiaMariaMedia oh ok yep that's good, just make sure you try to use S-Sport when doing hard pulls as its better for the gearbox using that mode, bit if you're already using that mode at the track I'm sure you're aware
@@JacksonStrain yep only for hard pulls but you can only get into that when stopped ? I do love using sport mode as my car came running rich from Japan so loves to back fire on an hks catback 😍🔥
Can you hear the turbo spewl up paddle shifting?
Yes you can, you just don't hear the BOV unless you lift off the throttle
hey jackson, hopefully you can still answer this. how do i know when do up shift?
Hey mate it depends on how you're driving, if your trying to drive normally then change before 3,000rpm.
If you're wanting to hit a bit of boost but not go crazy maybe around 4k rpm and if you're wanting to drive hard then shift between 5.5 -7k
You get used to it though and will become second nature to you just like it does when driving a manual trans
Jackson Strain How about when downshifting?
Jackson Strain im starting to get used to it, but do you downshift when turning or going in roundabouts?
@@kikoliezlleo hey mate, yes I downshift if ill be slowing down for the round about or turn. You want to always keep the car in the right gear so that it has proper acceleration, its hard to explain but you'll know what I mean as if you tried to accelerate in say 6th gear at 60kms an hour (which is bad for the engine so don't do that) it will feel like it is in the wrong gear so won't accelerate properly.
So you always want to keep the car in a suitable gear for the speed and RPMs of the engine
I like the Ralliart's drivetrain better... but the brakes on the evo... are amazing.
That's a first but to each their own 👍

Hey Jackson, nice video. When in ssport mode, do you downshift manually, or do you let the gearbox do it for you? Is there any way which is superior?
Also where did you get those cool paddle shift extensions ?
Hey Sid, I do the downshift with the paddles myself and usually just go down to 2nd gear and let the car do the downshift into 1st.

Wouldn't it be automated manual instead of calling it a automatic?
Automatics have torque converters and the sst is pretty much 2 manuals in 1.
It basically is yes, but still classed as an automatic and I've learned to just call it that to save arguments with manual fan boys that get upset about the non 5 speed evo
I don't know if to get a dodge charge scat pack or one of them.
They're very different cars and the steering and handling in the Evo is next level, I suggest driving them both and seeing what suits your needs and driving style better
The left hand drive is messing with my head so bad
Hahaha
I really want an evo 10 but I know nothing about having a turbocharged car. Any advice?
best bet is joining some evo facebook groups or searching for evoxforums on Google and reading up.
be warned that servicing for any performance or turbo car will be higher than a normal commuter car but the trade off is how fun they are to drive
I didn't even know they made auto for evo. Is that cvt auto?
Yeah they also made an auto Evo 7 and Evo 9 wagon. Those were conventional torque converter autos though.
The Evo X has a dual clutch auto trans made by getrag

To be honest really. It's the other way around. Manual is cheaper for maintenance. But for preference it does boil down to what you like more for sure.
manual is a pain on traffic, although it's fun. it just depends what you like or what you need :)
@@felixhyro7243 completely agree and if I buy a second car to use beside my Evo it will be manual for sure
Rebuilding a MT transmission is do-able for people with basic maintenance skills and a hydraulic press, an automatic transmission is not build able at home, most shops just order a new one instead of rebuilding the automatic transmission.

@@tyleroherien4687 what country are you in?
What lb-ft/nm can these boxes handle max ? Are they viable to drag race/launch with high hp figures ?
If you wanted to drag race regularly it would be the best option to get one with a rebuilt SST or get the SST rebuilt with upgraded clutches as once that's done they can handle more power and torque, for stock clutches 420nm is about what most tuners cap it at but once you upgrade the clutches you can as high as you like.

I wasn't even aware that evos had this DCT option, since I've been in the diesel world for the past 2-3 years and all those automatics, ZF6/8 speeds hold around 1,000NM no problem and I got used to the absolute smoothness and robustness they offer and I just feel that manual transmissions doesn't do it for me anymore... both for daily driving and drag racing.
@@RY3ER_ yeah after owning this dual clutch Evo I think any cars that I buy from now on will he the same unless it's and older car that has the choice of manual or convention 4 speed auto as in that case manual is the better choice.

Hi, you will get mixed results when asking this question but it all seems to come down to how the transmission was maintained and driven by previous owners.

SST>Getrag DCT for the Evo
It still has a clutch, but with solenoid actuators that does the clutching for you. Unlike a traditional automatic transmission. Technically its not a traditional automatic theres nothing alike with it at all in functionality or technically with a traditional automatic. No one can change faster than a computer. Fastest cars in the world are auto's. Dct transmissions are the future. The computer clutches for you. Hint... the old school WRC evos were semi automatics enough said. Manuals are for emotional drivers not logical drivers even though i have driven manuals ha ha and got converted...... Logic says DCT automatics are the way to go, not emotions. SST transmission is a DCT transmission many manufacturers have there own name. DCT transmission cars...GTR 35 and up, Porsches, VW Golf r models, Audi sport cars, Dodge SRT autos, most of the top sports cars have DCT transmissions. Except the last Holden HSV models or ss. Emotions vs logic.

Jackson Strain thanks man I’ll look into that, just found out my winter rims were bent (not from me previous owner) so I’m about to drop 12 on some new rims so I’ll look into it after that, really appreciate the Info you’ve earned yourself a sub
