What Clutch???

[viperos]

Does Anyone Know What Time It Is?? *croud yelling* "Clutch Replacement Time!!" *yeah!*

ok, need a new clutch, mine's finally slipping now... but I have my taurus to fall back on (w/ it's broken engine mounts ) so, what should I get? any suggestions at all...

btw, has changing your guy's clutch affected the peddal resistance? I like how my clutch pedal feels... it's consistant resistance all the way to the floor is unique to this year, and different in every other mustang I've ever driven... this won't go away, will it?

Don't ever buy that Centerforce garbage. I obliterated one at the traction, and I wasn't even spraying. Centerforce blew me off. It's just a stock pressure plate painted orange with some stupid weights on it. Get a SPEC clutch.

With the amount of power you are trying to control, spending loads of money on a clutch isn't worth it. On Killer's advice I talked to Don Walsh over at D and D Performance, he worked for SVO for 8 years and was the principle design engineer on both the King Cobra and Heavy Duty clutch. I asked him in the event that I were to do an H/C/I and had 300 rwhp, would a HD clutch be fine, and he said that its more then fine.

The King Cobra clutch has 5 lbs less pedal effot and costs more, but the HD clutch has much stronger internals and costs less. My vote is for the HD clutch, its been money for me so far.

I like the FRPP King Cobra clutch kit I have. It definately has a more on/off feel when it grabs. I am sure that with more mileage it will start to feel less grabby. I have 1-2K miles on mine and have no problems with it. Pedal effort is not too much different than stock.

My suggestion would be to go with a spec stage 2. It's a clutch that will last, be able to support 600 rwtq, and not kill your stock trans (I am not saying that your stock trans will be able to support 600 rwtq, just saying the clutch will).

IMO, the spec is much better that the dual friction centerforce (do a search on google for dual friction centerforce and check out all of the problems ppl have had with only 300 rwhp)

If you really want you can pick up a mcleod clutch that will support 1400 horse power. Do some research and match the clutch to the application. Like was said above, what is the point of buying a clutch that is stronger then your tranny? Just trying to save you some money!

well, right now, looking at the Spec stage 1 clutch... seems to be reliable... and affordable too a stage 2 seems a bit overkill for me... because I dont' think I'll ever get that high power on this car...

-oh well, haven't seen the HD clutches around though... got a website for an affordable one?

 

[Black95GTS]

they are super affordable, got mine off of summitracing.com for 160-170ish, comes with the clutch, pressure, plate, and throwout bearing. I also picked up a new flywheel too while I was at it, which turned out to be a good thing as the old was in really rough shape when I pulled it off.

 

[viperos]

did you loose much torque by switching to an aluminum flywheel? haven't heard many testimonials about that...

-I'll shop around for the HD clutches then... sounds like something I'd prefer, compared to the others available... although, still like the spec stage 1

I'm happy with my Spec I, but I've had several reputable tranny experts suggest that the Specs hit too hard and tend to break things. So if/when I have to replace it I'm going to do the King Cobra or HD.
