I picked up a 1997 Cobra convertible with 125k on the clock recently. It was known at the time of purchase that the throwout bearing was shot. The clutch is also still original, so I plan to do clutch, throwout bearing, and rear main seal all at the same time. This is an otherwise stock car, and my plan is to always keep it NA - really just revitalize it and get it running smoothly. I've extensively read through the forums and I'm leaning towards a Pro Motion clutch. As I don't currently plan to hit big HP numbers, I am looking at 10.5", 10spl, rated to 385HP. My questions are as follows:
- Does anyone have any experience with how stiff I can expect a Pro Motion clutch to be versus OEM? I daily drive my Cobra in Houston traffic, and considering my goals with the car I prioritize comfort over ability to handle high HP.
- Are there any other clutches I should consider? I also read great things about Centerforce but they come with a much higher price tag.
- Are there any other items I should consider checking or replacing when I do this work? If I have everything apart I might as well make a day out of it.
- Transmission fluid recommendations?
