I am going to get a X2C tranny (Tremec TKO 500) ... I have heard that I should run the McLeod clutch over the Spec. Rick91 do you agree or disagree with that? Thanks....

I like the Mcleod myself. My friend has a Spec in his car and it has terrible pedal feel.

I just installed a Centerforce Stage II when I did my 5spd swap. I like it so far, there's not too much pedal effort, and I've heard good things about them. I picked the whole kit up for $300.

We'll see how it is after it's broken in!

Zoom Kevelar grips very well yet has a lighter pedal feel than stock!

It's $259.95.

i wouldn't get a centerforce. I had the worst luck with that clutch. Didn't even last me a year. I personally like the spec, i think it has good pedel feel.

I just seen that Zoom in the new Summit mag yesterday and was going to ask about it on here, I think I found the clutch I'm goina get this winter. At first it was a Spec, then I heard they may have TO bearing isssues, then a Hays, but I like the Kevlar idea of the Zoom. I have never did any research on McLeod, where can I find those?

I'll refer you to another thread where V8only laid it all out pretty well.

V8Only<Jeremy> is a good friend of mine & I think he has a pretty good handle\advise regarding clutches. I personally use the Ram Heavy Duty clutch assembly. It had worked extremely well & Has lasted\survived several years of abuse without a hitch. A little more pedal effort than stock; but not to bad to most whom have driven my car for themselves to see(including Jeremy). Just a simple FYI; I think the cable routing makes a huge difference in pedal effort no matter what clutch you decide to run. I had to reroute mine three times to get the least amount of effort at the pedal. I run slicks & my et's are listed below. I like it very much & I do not plan on changing to a different unit anytime soon....

Hey Tony, it's really crazy to see you here!! That's pretty cool.

he's right on the money. I've never fealt what I would consider a "bad" clutch feel/effort on any clutch I've fealt. It's almost always the clutch cable routing, this alone will cause all the stiffness and crap people experience. The worst clutch I've fealt for pedal effort is the frpp heavy duty that's in my vert right now, it's so stiff, IT feels like I've got the cable misrouted.

I just drove Tony's car with his clutch last weekend, and it fealt pretty good, and he's been at the dragstrip twice a week for months since I've known him, and he's never had a clutch issue with that ram.

Centerforce Dual-friction- light pedal, but even with sticky tires this thing really grips! Perfect street clutch....
