Best clutch for bolt on's

FOR POINT SIX · August 8th, 2006, 06:58 PM

My car is a 2002 GT with the 3650. Only mods are a tri-ax and cut off muffs. I only plan on small bolt ons. Mybe a shot of NOS, but nothing big. It is now time for a new clutch. What is the best clutch for this app. and with the tranns out what are some good mods to do. And $ is on the small side,,,,, have not won the lotto yet!!!!!!!!

I wouldnt go crazy, a stage one or two should be more than fine. I would suggest NOT getting the King cobra. Just my opinion. Others might disagree. I have it now and it hasnt lasted too long ( im at the track alot with DR's )

I now have a Spec Stage 1.... havent installed. But its waiting until i can find time.

I have heard good things about it. I posted up a question like youres and my feedback was.... Spec..... RAM.... or Centerforce.

Heard great things about the spec clutches...That is what I am gonna go with myself...

JRuckas · August 8th, 2006, 09:28 PM

the centerforce dual-friction clutch isn't a bad route either. i have heard nothing but great things about it. the same goes for the spc and the Mccloud clutches.

Spec is the way I will go. What about mods. I was thinking flywheel, but I do not have the $ for a super light one, also the steeda cable, quadrent, and fire wall adj. FRPP drive shaft. I only have the $ for 2 of the mods. What would yall go for. And is there any thing I am missing. Is this the best time to do the rear main, I know it is on the 5.0.

Casper98GT · August 9th, 2006, 12:40 AM

Well, i have a 98 and my rear main was dry as a.... well its to late for that stuff. anyways.. it was dry and i didnt replace it. As you stated... my old 5.0 both times i changed the clutch i put new rear mains in it. haha.

I would do Spec clutch and clutch kit from www.mustangtuning.com. Get the quad, cable and firewall adjuster ( i just bought the quad and cable ) its youres for 99.95 shipped. Good deal to me. No need for another flywheel... because youre not going to have serious amounts of hp. Also the driveshaft is useless IMO.

Thanks alot for the help Casper. I will order the the quad, cable, and "adjuster" from steeda the kit is only $99.95

i run a spec stage 3 and it would be way to much for your app, but i would suggest a spec 1

if you want the feel of the stock pedal with a strong clutch then go with the centerforce, it takes no pressure to push the pedal down and it will take some abuse.
