    Need new clutch for 2000 GT

    I have a stock 2000 GT in need of a new clutch, I was wondering if a Centerforce Dual Friction clutch would be a good choice, I just want something that will last! My current clutch is the original stock clutch and the car has 64K miles. Any ideas appreciated.

    2000 GT, 'Clunk' sound during initial acceleration & braking

    Considering my clutch is bad and has been chattering for nearly 2 months maybe it caused the mount to break from all the vibration / chattering? Im having the clutch replaced next week but looks like ill be adding a mount to the list. I have a good friend who works for a towing company, long...

    2000 GT, 'Clunk' sound during initial acceleration & braking

    Over the last few weeks Ive started to notice a "Clunk" or a dull "Pop" sound coming from the front end area, It almost always happens while I'm braking to a complete stop and then it'll do it again when I take off. The sound is sort of like a hammer hitting the floor board ,the other day a...

    2000GT, Need new clutch. Please advise.

    Thanks, I emailed Steeda to be sure it was in stock and they dont have it either :shrug: So thats 2 sites that dont have it in stock .. any other reputable places online I can try? I tried the 4th gear trick and my clutch is definitely bad.

    2000GT, Need new clutch. Please advise.

    Interesting.. but the fact that the chattering gets progressively worse as the car warms up makes me think its the clutch? ..Ill try the 4th gear method and see what happens.

    2000GT, Need new clutch. Please advise.

    Americanmuscle is out of stock on the king cobra clutch but Steeda has what appears to be the same clutch for $30 less?? Am I missing something here: http://www.steeda.com/products/ford_racing_clutch_kits.php Also do I want the $179 10.5" version? Thanks for the replies.

    2000GT, Need new clutch. Please advise.

    Can anyone recommend a good clutch for a 2000GT? Im pretty sure my current stock clutch is bad, whenever I take off there's a lot of chatter.. It used to only do it after the car warmed up but now its always doing it and its just a bummer to drive :notnice: Ive read about a "King Cobra"...

    2000GT, Sluggish / hard shifting

    Since this is my first Mustang (Bought with 59K miles, currently 64K) Im not sure what exactly is normal behavior for the transmission.. My concern is the transmission just feels sluggish going through gear changes as if the tranny fluid is molasses (sort of speak), for example if I push...

    1999 mustang gt 4.6 question

    My 2000GT occasionally does the same thing, Fog horn is a good description ..I'm not sure why it does it but revving up the motor a few times always gets rid of it, only seems to happen when I first fire it in the morning with the heater on. It sounds a lot like this...

    2000 GT, Heater causes random idle change.

    Well that makes sense, My previous 95 Saturn didnt do this so I just wanted to make sure it was normal, then again the Saturn's heater was pretty weak overall (it works 10x better in the Mustang) , Thanks for the quick replies.

    2000 GT, Heater causes random idle change.

    Whenever I have my Heater set on Defrost or Mix it causes the motor to randomly drop idle as well as a random loss of power, If I use the Floor setting this doesn't happen. Is this normal behavior? Thanks.

    Slightly rough idle after warmup / 2000 GT

    Actually im noticing a slight loss in power as well ,it feels like im having to give the car more gas & clutch than usual in order to take off smoothly, otherwise it falls flat on its face ..sort of speak, can the IAC have anything to do with that?

    2000 GT motor noisy in the mornings for brief period.

    Hm ya that's what I was thinking about doing and go from there , I doubt carmax used a motorcraft filter or oil, since the noise goes away after a few minutes I'm guessing its not something to serious (Hopefully). Ill report back once I change the oil/filter. Thanks for the replies.

    2000 GT motor noisy in the mornings for brief period.

    Ah thats cool do you work on Mustangs?, Im near Barstow & Willow , I have a 3 year warranty on the car which supposedly covers everything inside and out on the motor (minus the Clutch), Perhaps I should just take it to Ford and have them check it out? My default 30 day warranty with Carmax just...
