Yes, Valeo makes the OEM and Ford Racing clutches - as to whether that particular kit is a "King Cobra" or not I do not know.

ok cool thanks! so do you know if the valeo are any good?

mdvaldosta · February 16th, 2006, 11:10 PM

Yes they are. They do make the King Cobra... probably the best clutch for the money. I would have assumed that the box would have been from Ford Racing rather than Valeo. Good chance you have the same part though, but I'm not sure.

Valeo makes clutches for alot of manufacturers. Their products are good. However, the king cobra clutch should have come in a Ford Racing box. Not really a big deal because it is probably the same clutch. What most likely happened is the company you bought it from is giving you the "no name" king cobra clutch from Valeo because they can get it cheaper than getting it from Ford thus making more profit. Kind of a scam but common practice by smaller companies.
