How does a KC clutch go out in 1.5 years with 300RWHP?

Yeah thats what i would like to know also.Its fine during normal driving but 1st to 2nd 3rd to 4th high rpm shifting it lets go.It will even slip when punching it in 4th from a roll.

Damn, that sucks. I have a Ford Motorsport HD replacement clutch in my 96 Cobra and it holds great. The shop that installed and dynoed my car has that same clutch in their 2004 Cobra making 800RWHP and it holds. That is a great clutch.

Do you have a good cable?

Is the firewall adjuster adjusted correctly? (After install, pull up on pedal, listen for click then push down and it adjusts itself)

Was the flywheel resurfaced? (How many times has it already been done...any clue?)

You don't have an aftermarket firewall adjuster or quadrant do you?? Those are POS's. The factory parts are your best bet.

I have a upr adjuster and quad.I have never had this issue before.I will try adjusting the cable a little bit.Who knows maybe the rear main is leaking some oil on the clutch.

Thanks for all the inputs.I managed to adjust the firewall adjuster in and everything is working now and grabbing great in all gears.
