Spec clutch

Bullitt03 · Jul 7, 2004

If you guys have one maybe you can answer a question for me.

I have a 03GT with a stage 1 in it and every time i run hard from a stop i can smell the clutch is this normal for a spec clutch and it only has about 2000 miles on it

Thanks

I'm having the same problem with mine as well. Doing a burnout to warm to the DR's leaves some serious clutch odor and sometimes it doesnt grab...

A Stage 1 is rated at 400 RWHP MAX, I think you are pushing the limit of the clutch there

Ive got same clutch in my 88 GT, it smelled like clutch for about the first 1500 miles, and i tried to break it in as easy as i could for the first about 600 miles. The smell went away on my car. I got it the most in reverse i had a steep driveway. I think you may need a stronger clutch, try a stage 2. Your car has the max hp/torque rating on the clutch almost stock. 2000 miles you shoulkd not smell clutch anymore??

Bullitt03 · Jul 8, 2004

On the spec website it says 420 torque capacity i have no where near that N/A so i don't know but the smell has gone away so far after a few hard runs today so i maybe it will last another 3 months till i deploy

Thanks for your guys input

My stage 1 installed last September (maybe 5k ago) still smells on a steep hill start or a if I rode the cluth a little bit. The clutch grabs hard as my best dyno run ever was using the Spec clutch. I probably would not put another spec clutch in next time, but I was unhappy with the lift of my stock clutch as well.

My spec clutch has good feel and grip, but at the *slightest* amount of slip it smells.
