I had the same probablem with the king cobra. It only done it the first time i started the car. I never had good luck with that clutch anyways. Now I run a ram HD.

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.

I have heard the KC is garbage. My friend has one in his car and it just died not too long ago. it is been in about a year and the car was on jack stands for most of that.

this noise was loud and the only way it would stop is if the side that it was hitting i grinded down

Almost everyone who has a King Cobra clutch for street/stip use has had good things to say about them. I have had no unusual problems with 100K miles of street use. It is very odd that the clutch would drag inside the bellhousing.

The SROD bolt pattern will not mate up to a T5. It mates to a SROD, Tremec 3550 or Tremec TKO.

I had the same problem and so did a couple other ppl on Corral. I just ground down the area where it was making contact at and installed it. If you match up the KC pp with the stock pp you will see where the KC pp sticks out a little further in about three spots.

Would this occur with other after market clutches? like a ram? Im sure its depending on the size of the clutch

This doesn't make sense to me. If the KC is a FRPP upgrade for our cars why would it grind on the bell? I just bought a KC that i'm installing in my hatch in the spring and this makes me nervous...

I don't know I thought all those cheaper clutches had the same Valeo PP anyway?
