Does the pull the pedal up method work on a 96?

Pretty sure it doesent also pretty sure that its the factory clutch with 140k on it.. So probably going to be time for a new one here soon.. I noticed the pedal is stiff and if you pop the clutch or shift real hard it squeeks in the clutch/flywheel area... Whats the best way to go on a new clutch OE or centerforce king cobra what?? not going to do anythign super crazy with the car but i want somthing that will last and take an ocasional beating..
 
if its less than 300hp i would replace it with an oem piece or you could go after market with a king cobra but ive heard that center force is the bang for your buck. but if you go with after market its more than likely gonna be a heavier duty than oem, which means youll need to replace the quadrent with the aluminum ine available from bbk, steeda, upr, etc.. and dont orget the adjustable cable or fire wall adjuster that you can get with the after market quadrent. i know it seems like a lot to take in but dont be scared away from this, anyone with mechanical ability can do these things. good luck
 
Ive replaced many cluctches in my life just not in a stang.. Talked to kentucky clutch today (done alot of bussiness with them over they years) and he recomended a factory type clutch disk but he will make up a pressure plate with more clampping force for it.. He said its the best way to go for a DD with ocasional track use and he will set me up for $95 AND turn my flywheel! probably the way i;ll go..
