The life of a clutch?

Do you have an auto??

A properly broken in clutch should last at least 60000 miles or more. does it rev really high and then eventually catch or by stuttering do you mean it is a bit jumpy??

I would think the GT clutches could but not the Cobra. GT's have same transmission.

We have t45 right? or t5?

and why are you saling all that stuff from your car? I thought you were keeping it?

Umm... a clutch should last 60,000+miles depending on how hard you drive the car. My '03 GT has 20K miles on it already and my clutch is still going strong... my '88 GT had 79K miles on it before I replaced it with a SPEC Stage II.

As for a new clutch why don't you look to the aftermarket for one instead of getting a GT clutch? I would think it would be better than getting a ford one.

When I was shopping around for a clutch, I found the aftermarket ones way cheaper then fords OEM clutches. I got a Centreforce stage 1 clutch and installed it myself, which I did in my apartment buildings parking lot. If you have some patients and basic tools it can be done. It cost me ~$350 US do to the TOB, Clutch, and Plate. And 2 days of blood, sweat, and tears.

I hear Spec is pretty good as well, in fact next time that is what I'm going with. I did this while my car was under warrenty. I did it myself cause ford told me the clutch isn't under warrenty. Bastards. although the TOB is but they said to do the clutch as well, but I would have to pay for it, there just wouldn't be extra for the install since they would be in there already replaceing the TOB, which was squeeling like a mofo.
