Clutch Question

[Farr94gt]

i have a 94 gt 5speed and its time to put a new clutch in it.......the car has a mildly built 306 in it and i believe the clutch is still stock.....i have never taken it apart so i am wondering if i should buy a kit and what to look for in a kit....or which one should i buy....i mostly street drive and once a month i go to the strip.....also is it beneficial to buy an aluminum flywheel?

i just bought a centerforce clutch for my cobra... great clutch... noisy for the first 500 miles but once it breaks in its great.... i didnt buy a new flywheel... just cleaned up the surface with some sand paper....

For what you have and do I would either buy a king cobra clutch kit from ford racing or a spec stage 2 kit. As far as what to look for In a kit you will want a clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, and pilot bearing, and a clutch line up tool. If the tool doesn't come in the kit you should be able to buy one from advance auto for around $2.00. And no do not buy an aluminum flywheel. Your car is too heavy and does not have enough power to get the car moving off the line with an aluminum flywheel. Just get the factory flywheel resurfaced or buy a billet steel flywheel. If you went with an aluminum flywheel your car would rev quicker but fall on its face when you dump the clutch if it hooked.

My vote goes to Centerforce.

I wouldn't run an aluminum flywheel. Just get the factory flywheel resurfaced or buy a billet steel flywheel as previously stated.

Centerforce = thumbs down ... King cobra is crap

This is a good answer, I have a center force stage 2 clutch man what a noisy thing it is. I kind of have the same question what is a good clutch and flywheel for a 302 ? With a lot of mods

 

[Musturd]

As stated ACT. Centerforce chatter and are just not a good unit . King cobras are stiff as fuck for a near stock replacement clutch . I've used alot of ram clutches in customer cars.but by far act is the best quality for a everyday clutch and then if you want to go crazy McLeod

 

[TaborRacing9]

i had alittle chatter at first but its fine now for me.... been a good clutch for me so i cant complain

stock replacement from ford.

No need to spend extra money on a clutch if you dont need to.

Dislike^ might as well get a bit of a upgrade most people tend to add some mods to these cars

I'm a big fan of Exedy. NASA members get a decent discount, but after 2 years of road racing I tore the T5 and motor apart to find it was in almost new condition. I was very impressed, specialy for how much abuse it gets.

I had 2 OE replacement in previous, 1 ebay clutch lasted about 5 races, and a O'reilly clutch that lasted ... wait for it ... 1 day!

I've been through 2 center force dual frictions and neither one chattered. My clutch pedal is Soo smooth. You have to break them in right. Put an easy 500 miles on mine before dropping the hammer.

Keep in mind that all these companys like Ram, Center force , spec exc... Don't actually make the clutches. Center force is made by a company called Valero. They are made to the specs specified by said company's.
