What is a good daily driver clutch for a blown 02 Gt?

5spd GT · Aug 27, 2005

Just like the title says...I was thinking Centerforce Dual Friction...

The 3650 tranny in the 01+'s (some of them in 01's anyways) need a different spline clutch right? Does CF make them for the 3650?

Any other suggestions for a nice daily driven clutch that will hold the power?

Thanks

well i have one right now in my car (n/a - soon to be novi 2000 blown in a couple weeks) & it's been in there for about a month with no problems at all. i like it alot. as far as power i talked to a guy i know & he told me had one in his & it did great till he had about 600 to the tires. so i guess it all depends on your HP level

CF should make one for the 3650. And on the other side of the coin, my car makes absolutely no power (pretty much stock) and it's great as a daily driver.

im running the 2003 Cobra clutch...i love it..very streatable and handles great power

Could always go with a Spec clutch if you are going to be up around 400-500 hp I would suggest at least a stage 2. I've heard good things about spec clutches.

i absolutely love it and at around $330 or so its not gonna burn ya pocket.

I've heard the spec stage 3 is not a good daily driving clutch is that true? I've never driven a car with it.

i've been daily driving my car for 6 months with it and have had no problems.most of the mustangs at the shop use the spec stage 3 as well.

www.modularmustangracing.com has some clutches designed for high power and they claim streetability. I've bought stuff from there and talked to Mark the owner. Great c/s.

Good to know, I have a king cobra and hate it hopefully get a new clutch soon.

A Spec Stage 3 is to unstreetable for what I like and the owner of this 02 Gt has. They are to on/offish. A spec stage 2 would be a better choice for a blower only car...under 400rwhp.

stangman - Thanks, you got a part number...is it the dual friction?

yeah it's dual friction, as far as a part number i don't have one, but i could call & get it for ya if ya need it

5spd GT · Aug 28, 2005

stangman - That would be great but don't feel obligated...I just know since you have had one...that you might know

So does everyone think the DF will be a good street clutch. I know it can hold the power for sure and the price is around $350 for these I believe...

Roll with the Centerforce II stock like pedal effort and half the travel Shoot my car is nearly stock and it feels great for a daily driver

blackink00 · Aug 29, 2005

ive heard a lot of bad things about spec. its either a hit or miss. my buddys 95 cobra was a miss and it sucks. find out if mcleod makes one for a 3650, if so i would deffinetly recommend

Another Vote for spec
I have a Spec II for a little more then a year and no problems

People have problems with clutches because they are not installed correct and or do not break them in

When replacing your clutch turning your fly wheel is a must
Bolting the clutch up correct is a must
And recommended by spec a 500 mile break in is a must

The issue i have heard most about spec is the TOB
Which when i bought it was made out of plastic, which people complained about being noisy.
All i did was by a oem from ford, which is all metal and havent had any noise or problems

Spec Stage 2 right here....even though 1 hour in traffic blows ass it's definitely managable for daily driving

5spd GT · Aug 29, 2005

Jones331 - I have a CF Stage II in my 5.0L...I like it a lot...

I've heard some clutches make the pedal easier or harder to push. How do these options line up? Which ones make the pedal feel lighter or harder?
