Clutch time, what else to buy?

DanTheMan · May 13th, 2008, 04:04 PM

Well my throw out bearing is making noise and my clutch fork needs to be greased, so I'm gonna save up some loot and pick up a Spec Stage 1 clutch kit..

Should I get the steeda quadrant and adjustable cable? I heard a few ppl on here having problems with the cable.. also any thing that i should address while i have the tranny dropped? (already doing clutch, tob, greasing fork, changing fluid)

thanks guys

I did drive shaft while I was there (motor sport alum).

Did clutch, TOB, cable, and royal purple fluid.

Had the fire wall quadrent adjust kit but ditched it for just the old manual/pedal adjust and was much happier.

I dont care for spec clutchs but if your mind is made up there then go for. I smoked mine rather easy and went to a Ram HD clutch and couldnt be happier.

DanTheMan · May 13th, 2008, 04:29 PM

ok thanks, i'll just stick with the stock cable and adjuster.. I'm not necessarily certain i'll get a spec clutch.. but i hear good things about 'em and it's a good price

B0B · May 13th, 2008, 04:41 PM

don't get a spec. everybody on here who has a spec will tell you that the TOB is garbage. i have to pull my spec stage 1 back out and send it back because its chattering horribly after over 1k miles its very difficult to drive because of the chatter.

DanTheMan · May 13th, 2008, 04:49 PM

well damn that sucks.. any recommendations?

I know nate recommended a Ram HD...

DanTheMan · May 13th, 2008, 05:07 PM

Well would I be better off just getting a new TOB from ford and not messing with the clutch right now? I don't need a clutch I figured I might as well do it while i was under there

ford performance

As I said I love mine (Ram Paowergrip HD).

Its heavy but nothing over the top. It is just fine with all the power and doesnt bother me in the least in stop and go traffic.

DanTheMan · May 13th, 2008, 05:10 PM

thanks nate, where did you buy from?

GTsetGO · May 13th, 2008, 05:13 PM

spec stage 2+ here and i have no problems with it. smooth as can be and no noise.

DanTheMan · May 13th, 2008, 05:14 PM

rob, did you use the spec tob?

I just got the Ram HD and it's awesome

GTsetGO · May 13th, 2008, 05:17 PM

nope. left the stock one in there.

DanTheMan · May 13th, 2008, 05:18 PM

gracias dude

i just looked at ram and it's 4-500 for a HD.. I think I'll take the risk and get the spec stage I and just get an OEM tob

good call brah. you would have heard me bitching at GOOTC if i didn't like it.

DanTheMan · May 13th, 2008, 05:23 PM

Yeah not a hard decision since i've seen a spec in action

So you have the 2+? I'm thinking that'd be a bit too much clutch for me.. How's the pedal feel?

GTsetGO · May 13th, 2008, 05:24 PM

little stiffer than stock.

what are your goals for the car??

DanTheMan · May 13th, 2008, 05:27 PM

well for the next few years just mild (comp 262) cams, 3.73's, ported heads, maybe some nawz til I get the procharger...

The only thing i worry about is if my girl drives it I don't want her to have to use two feet lol

GTsetGO · May 13th, 2008, 05:29 PM

i would look into the stage 2 then. no sense in having to trade the clutch out again when you do start making the power that you want.

DanTheMan · May 13th, 2008, 05:32 PM

that's true... well on AM it's 220 for a stage 1 and 320 for a 2... where'd you buy yours?

GTsetGO · May 13th, 2008, 05:39 PM

i got mine from Mustang Parts, Camaro Parts, Corvette Parts, GTO Parts, Trans Am Parts and more. due to AM not having the stage 2+. plus you can get the discount at AM and free shipping.
