HELP Clutch Problems

Ok so last night I went all out with my car from a stop for the first time. So I was spinning the tires and my clutch went loose when I tried to go from second to third. It just went straight to the floor. So I instantly let off the gas and threw it into N. When I got back it smelt like, of course, burning melted clutch. She's still drivable and has no problems except for when engaging in first and second gear. Now it slips when letting half way out.

So I'm guessing I have to replace the clutch. Should I just get it replaced with the Ford OEM or should I look into something better? Price for parts and install, anyone know? And most of all, WHY THE HELL DID IT HAPPEN IN THE FIRST PLACE.


Ha ha thanks for the help

I was quoted $815 by the dealer for the OEM parts. Thats pretty good considering that an aftermarket clutch/flywheel will cost me $600. Is it really the clutch going bad?

Why Stage II and not Stage I

i think my car healed itself. The problems seems to have went away. It was a problem when the clutch was engaging in first gear. It would jolt a bit then be fine. It FELT ALMOST like letting out the clutch and not giving it gas, you know the feeling of the car almost dying. Except my RPMs were good and it wasnt going to die. I guess just the motion is what I'm saying, a slight jerk back and forth. Now I thought it was the rear end maybe or possible the tranny but now she seems to be working good.


Heres another thing, over my Bassani X there seems to be a hard crusted goo that reminds me of sap or something. I think I got a bag wrapped around it and it melted. So I guess thats the smell of burning I had.

Moral of the story: Don't **** around with a supercharged car unless you know exactly what you're doing.... Lesson learned.
