Anyone Know About The F1 Racing Clutch Kits On Ebay?

It's on Ebay for a reason. I have had several customers bring me their cars with Ebay branded clutch kits. EVERY one has come back out of the car within 3 months or less. Spend the money and get a good name brand. Lastly, for a car that I am assuming that is mostly driven on the street, an aluminum flywheel isn't really that necessary. Get your factory flywheel resurfaced. My car actually performs better with a factory style flywheel. Just my .02

IMO, nodular iron Ford Racing flywheel and any decent clutch kit from a reputable manufacturer (Centerforce, Ford Racing, Ram, ect).

Might have something to do with the fact your running an aftermarket clutch on a stock flywheel with too much material removed. Too much clearance and the PP and disk can't do its job correctly.

Or, it could be the clutch is improperly adjusted. Are you using an aftermarket quadrant, firewall adjuster or cable? With an aftermarket clutch, you really should use the quadrant and firewall adjuster. Avoid adjustable clutch cables any anything except a Maximum Motorsports/Ford OEM cable. They have modified it to really be the only lasting cable.

Also, don't use anything except a FRPP TOB. Anything else is begging for trouble.


As far as the eBay clutch... no. Don't go there. Check out RAM's HDX clutch. I did a lot of research and found this is a great street/strip clutch that holds 450 flywheel horsepower. It's still an organic-style clutch so engagement won't be brutal and it's still the "weak point" in the drivetrain versus my trans. I have one waiting to go back in the car. They can be had for around $200.
