Good Replacement Clutch

[DaJoker]

Got an 89 LX 5.0 and I'm thinking the stock clutch is on its last legs. Looking for a good replacement. I don't want one where I have to use 2 feet to push it in, but I want it to grab well. Has exhaust and gears now and I prolly won't mod much more. I do drag race the car and drag radials are in the near future. What do you guys use and how do you like it?:shrug:

i dont know how much different the clutches are in between each mustang but my spec stage 1 works great

i put a spec 1 in my car and i beat the piss out of it and never had any problems

What is a Spec 1? I have heard about them, but is that the name brand? http://www.lmperformance.com/3539/60.html <<that it?

An FRPP King Cobra is a good choice. I currently have a Centerforce Dual Friction in my car. Pedal effort is light, and it clamps hard. I autocross my car and even after heating up a little bit, it still never gives up. Either one of those is a good choice.

I've used King Cobra,Zoom,Ford racing,and Spec stage 3.For the money the King Cobra was the best imo.The pedal was stiff but I preferred it that way.

What is a Spec 1? I have heard about them, but is that the name brand? SPEC SF481 SPEC Clutch Stage 1, 86-95 5.0L Mustang - SF481 <<that it?

thats it but I noticed that you are in louisiana. If you are local to Baton Rouge, stop by Thunder Racing. They sell the Spec clutches for the same price as online. I walked away with my spec stage 1 with all fluids for $280 out the door

Look into the new fidanza clutches..i like their quality better than Spec. Also look into the Ram heavy duty replacement kits..they seem to do very well and have good pedal effort...not to much..not to little.

Thanks for the tip. I'm in BR every 2 weeks for work so I may do just that.........even though they specialize in GM's.

I would say either a King Cobra or Spec. I was running a Spec II clutch and liked that. Either I or II would be fine IMHO.

I just got a clutch from South Bend Clutch in IN and put it in yesterday. The car drives like a dream now.
