i heard dual clutchs are better than single but that they wear out faster, im actually going to go with the spec 3+ this spring, you can go to streetfire.net and type in cobra clutch and they have a vid about the spec stage 3+ and they explain in detail what it is all about

really great. i dont have the car anymore but when i had it i loved it. had the stock flywheel insert done from mcleod for $125 and i used a ford racing tob for not engagement rattles or squeeks

deffenitly spec stage 3+. just make sure you get a FRPP TOB cuz the ones from spec always squeek.

 

[ChitownSVT04]

Says the stage 3 kit comes with a throw out bearing? Is that not a decent one or do you just prefer the ford racing one

spec 3 or DFX

Spec stage 3 is the way to go, I have one but don't think it is adjusted properly due to it's stiffness but it is an awesome clutch and I do daily drive the car. I drove Zack's cobra with the same clutch and that one the pedal was much softer but also still very nice and easy to drive.

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

i vote DFX

Spec 3+!

the kit comes with a TOB but they are poor quality. the will start to squeek when engauged. mine started to squeek after about 500 miles. if u dont mind the extreemly anoying sound then you can use it. but IMO spend a few extra bucks and get the FRPP one. if your gonna be spending $600 +/- on a new clutch setup, spend the entra $50 for a good TOB.

Ya I hear ya I'll probably ending up spending the extra money and buying the better throw out bearing then thanks for the advice I think I'm gonna lean towards the spec sounds like I can't go wrong with it

no problem. And if u do go with the spec, the stage 3+ is a more street frieldly cluch over the regular stage 3. for smoother engaugments go with the stage 3+.

Ya thats the one I was looking at I'm assuming I should do the flywheel at the same time?

 

[blck10th]

I tried a McLeod twin disc and that POS does not fit for shit. Must have had that trans in and out 8 -10 times.

DFX FTMFW!

absolutley. you could try to resurface the stock flywheel but i wouldnt recommend it. i'd go with a spec steel flywheel. the steel ones have a little bit better drivabilty then the aluminium. plus they are a bit cheaper.

 

[blck10th]

Buy a 01 flywheel from tously if you are trying to save some $. You don't resurface the stocker. It is a McLeod flywheel and the will pop out the stock insert and rivet a new one in.

 

[ChitownSVT04]

Thanks for all your inputs and helpful tips I appreciate it I think I might go for the spec stage 2+ according to lethal performance it states its good for 670 rwtq and around the 600rwhp range which will be a while till in there

Another question what reasons would i need to get a 26 spline input shaft? or can I still use the stock input shaft?

You would need a 26 spline input shaft if you buy a clutch kit for 26 spline. I am running a spec 3 and LOVE IT! Also running a steel flywheel instead of the aluminum. Spec 3 came with the TOB but i went with the FRPP instead.

I know I would have to buy a input shaft if I bought the 26 kit my question is what is the major difference in the two and if it I could get away with a 10 spline

It basically boils down to your needs and use of the car. I like the clutch I am using and the steel flywheel seems to grab pretty damn good. Clutch chatters for the first few hundred miles but now its great. I hit the track twice a year at most so the 26 spline was unnecessary for me.
