you break it in by not beating on you car for about 300 miles.

That would be a nice upgrade from the OEM Valeo clutch kit.

Good luck.

How much is the '93 Cobra Clutch?


For $200 you can get a King Cobra clutch. The pedal effort is like butter

Mike, Have you heard scuttlebutt that there are KC clutches out there that are not Valeo? I think I saw that on the Corral. I wondered if folks were confusing the SKC or something with the KC.

Cobra clutch is about 150 bucks.

Yeah, i think i read that thread. Then there was the thread about the T/O bearing that came with the KC kit being made of plastic and you should get another one. That's what made me open my box and check mine. My T/O was metal.


Then again, i've had my KC kit for about 2 years now. One of these days i'll finally do the 5-spd swap!
