nothing is wrong with spec, 99 percent of clutch concerns is bad install.

I have a king cobra and it's very good..

I also highly recomend a new clutch fork and pivot ball and a TOB if you clutch kit is not coming with one. trust me on this I am a ford tech by trade and I have seen people have a stiff pedal because they negected to replace the pivot ball when they are bad or wearing out. the way I see it both of those parts is less than 40 bucks so it's miney well spent to replace them when you already have the trans down.

I would also suggest Mcleod. I had one installed in my car and I love the feel of it. So much better over stock. I got the stage 2 from Maxium Motorsprorts for $310.

I am buying the Ford Racing King Cobra clutch, and I highly recommend getting a steel bearing retainer to replace the crap aluminum that comes stock. Also, does anyone know what size pivot ball to get? I have seen them in 1.4, 2.317, 2.645".... Dont want to get the wrong size....

Do you have the part numbers for the clutch fork and pivot ball?

I'm going to replace my clutch in 2 weeks and would like to only do it once.
