stage 2 clutch upgrade

DeathScythe95 · February 26th, 2007, 06:43 PM

im ordering a stage 2 clutch soon because my stock one is going bad and i plan on modding my stang which means more hp. i went to a few shops today and asked for some quotes but they also told me that the stage 2 clutch could be hard on the flywheel and that i probably need to replace this plastic piece where u adjust the clutch(have no idea what hes talkin about) with an aluminum one. wat u guys think about this and the stage 2 upgrade

GreenFaleen · February 26th, 2007, 06:48 PM

If your not pushing the power for it you probably don't need it, but if you plan on getting to that hp range soon I would get it. I am not a manual guy so some of the others might be on soon to help you out.

DeathScythe95 · February 26th, 2007, 06:49 PM

Yea i plan on pushing that power eventually with a bunch of mods

GreenFaleen · February 26th, 2007, 06:56 PM

what is the hp rating on a stock clutch vs a stage 2?

Garman91 · February 26th, 2007, 07:25 PM

Dunno but my buddy's got a GT w/ 445 RWHP on a stock clutch setup for about a year now but it's starting to go bad so gotta be less than 445 HP...

GreenFaleen · February 26th, 2007, 07:27 PM

I think he is in stage 3 range there or near the top of stage 2

Garman91 · February 26th, 2007, 07:33 PM

I agree, don't wanna get off topic but he has purchased his clutch as well as some "indestructable" flywheel so the mechanic is right about the flywheel but IDK about any plastic adjuster doo hickey

GreenFaleen · February 26th, 2007, 07:34 PM

How much hp you wanna push death?

DeathScythe95 · February 26th, 2007, 07:41 PM

im lookin in maybe the lower 300's, after a split port swap, that will get me to the current v6 hp then full bolt ons, cams, power pack, im pretty much gonna rebuild me engine because im also gettin up there with miles too. lastly a supercharger. the supercharger may push me higher than that idk, but i guess what i want is a clutch that can handle it now so i dont have to buy a stage one then replace it in a year

Garman91 · February 26th, 2007, 07:46 PM

I'd say look at the price diff on stock replacement and stage 2 then see if skimping now will make sense knowing you have to pay full price for stage 2 later...

DeathScythe95 · February 26th, 2007, 07:46 PM

$60 differance

Garman91 · February 26th, 2007, 07:51 PM

Bah... What's $60 looking at the big picture of your modding roadmap? IMO you should get the stage 2

GreenFaleen · February 26th, 2007, 07:53 PM

yeah go ahead and go stage 2 you should be ok.

DeathScythe95 · February 26th, 2007, 07:58 PM

awesome, so about that in destructable flywheel, whered ur friend get it

Garman91 · February 26th, 2007, 08:06 PM

I'll have to ask him, supposedly its rated at 1000+ HP. I think he said it cotsts around $400 but I'm not positive I'll double check tomorrow and find out where he ordered it...

DeathScythe95 · February 26th, 2007, 08:07 PM

thx man, now just gotta find out what the hell that eice was that the mechanic was talkin about

Garman91 · February 26th, 2007, 08:07 PM

Yea, g/l... Chilton's Manual maybe?

DeathScythe95 · February 26th, 2007, 08:12 PM

yea he says theres this plastic piece that you can get to under the dash and that it can break when u get a new clutch and that people get after market aluminum ones, no idea what hes talkin about

allpaidfor · February 26th, 2007, 08:12 PM

must be talking 'bout the quadrant. yeah, this could warp over time. check out this kit...http://www.americanmuscle.com/noname3.html
Steeda Clutch Adjuster Kit (96-04).. or you could just get the quadrant.

DeathScythe95 · February 26th, 2007, 08:15 PM
