My last and final clutch question


so I'm taking my transmission out on monday to get repaired so while its out i figure ill get a better clutch too, ive heard that different brands were the best so i can choose from spec, mcleod, and centerforce. i've heard that mcleod was the best for mustangs but no one seems to have heard of them on this forum. also should i replace the flywheel too so they wear evenly or what?
thanks

I have no problems with my centerforce dual friction, I might try mcloed for my next clutch...

get a new pilot bushing and throw-out bearing too. Do have your fly wheel resurfaced.

Do not I repeat do not get a SPEC.

I had mine for 8 months and tossed that shit box out.

I know used a Ram HD series Clutch and love it. Also resurface your fly wheel. No real need to replace it unless you really feel like it.
