can i use this pressure plate with this clutch disc

[WhtSuperStang]

After i blew my t-45 i got an MMR pro trans 750 with a 26 spline input shaft. i planned to do a lot of racing (that went out the window) so i put in a centerforce DFX clutch disc to hold any power i threw at it. I also have an 01 cobra flywheel and a 03 cobra pressure plate.

I hate the feeling of the stiff cluch and its a pain in the ass to drive in heavy traffic.

After driving Chad's (qwik01cobra) car I hate the stiffness of my clutch. could i change my 03 pressure plate for a softer one like a stock 01 with DFX clutch disc without any issues?

Thanks for any and all help

I have ran my stock clutch(es) with over 400hp/400tq with out any issues. Your better off just using a spec stage 1 or king cobra clutch it will handle over 400ft/lbs and will be 10 times softer on the pedal than that hunk of shit DFX that you have in there. I hate those damn clutches it makes the car miserable to drive IMO

We put in the FRPP 01 cobra clutch upgrade kit (the supposed 10% increased holding power) in our car when we did the six speed. Its as soft as the stock clutch but will grab on rev limiter launches like its nothin. I know mines only makin 260hp, but still should be able to handle yours with out a problem.

thanks for the replies guys..

I had a king cobra in my car before and the clutch was similar to the 03/dfx combo...if anything i might switch to the upgrade dealy Erik was talking about..

your right Chad it does make my car miserable to drive..i hate it...

It was pretty cheap too, think it was like 400 bucks for pressure plate/clutch disc/01 cobra flywheel

does anyone know if Ford Racing makes any clutch disc 26 spline...

I was looking at the clutch upgrade kit but it wont work since i have an upgraded 26 spline input shaft...unless they make one that will fit..

Found this on Jegs, i'm sure it could be had for cheaper.

I broke too much crap in one year, took too long to pay off...

Im in college/graduate school and cant afford for really expensive stuff to break..

the set up i have now is a BEAST at the track (even tho i only have a 1 or 2 passes on it...i built it with the intention to never break when racing then my priorities changed) but for daily driving its getting old. I Love driving peoples cars with soft clutches now..lol

man the best set up for that is an upgraded clutch and a 03/04 flywheel

why? he's pretty much stock. he's not making anything about 320 hp. A stock clutch would be plenty.

thanks again Erik for finding that 26 spline frpp clutch upgrade kit...i might have to do that next year!
