I recently sold my '89 stang and ended up buying a 92lx coupe equipped with a custom single turbo kit. The car is awesome and has 405hp and 440tq at 6psi of boost, and a conservative tune. Anyways, I bought the car with a worldclass T-5 in it and knew I would eventually blow it up, and sure enough on the second day of owning the car, third gear got toasted. Needless to say I am looking into a TKO 600 and have ordered the aluminum bellhousing from astroperformance, and plan on buying the tranny from tommie vaughn ford here in houston. (priced at $1672 with the 26 spline yoke). In an effort to save some cash, I don't really want to buy an entire clutch kit and the car already has a spec 2 kit on it. (10 spline) My question is, which 26 spline clutch discs can I use with the spec pressure plate aside from a spec 2 or 3? And, where can I even find 26 spline spec clutch discs separate from the kit?? Are the spec 2 and king cobra pressure plates the same???
 
try musclemotors.com I think I paid less for that combo, you need to call they will deal with you and will also just sell you a disc for the stage 2. But i would bring the flywheel to napa and have it resurfaced. You want the disc to seat well.

I would stick with a stage 2 disc as well

what mods are done to the engine?
 
did my swap w/ stage 3 disc, just call spec they will send you a disc..think i paid $120 for a 26spline disc, if your old disc is used/beat up get the flywheel resurfaced other wise dont bother...:nice:
 
I just bought the TKO 600 today and along with it the 31 spline yoke and a centerforce dual friction 26 spline clutch disc that I plan on using with my spec pressure plate. Was the centerforce a good choice?
 
I dunno.
I'm not a big fan of re-using any clutch parts. I understand a budget, but there is also the risk of having to pull the whole thing apart again.

Flywheels aren't really worth resurfacing, considering the FMS stock repacement is only $100.
Pressure plates also wear and get screwed up.

IMO, just buy all new parts, and be done with it. I know it sucks, but it's insurance.
