[ib_604]

Hey guys,

looking for some help to decide on a new clutch.

my03 cobra is at about 68,000 KM and my dealer is sayin its had it.

i drive my car a lot mostly street, and am running about 450RWHP/500RWTQ....estimates...

what clutch do u guys recommend?

I was looking on the net and came across Centreline products....how are they?

Thanks in advance!

Spec 3+, Fidanza flywheel, LDC cooling mod while you are back there.

^^^agreed, 26 spline setup I might add and tb retainer sleeve.

Mine just went out, and I am replacing it with a 10 spline Center force LM disc, Centerforce DFX PP, CF TOB, Ford pilot bearing, Speck billet steel flywheel, McCleod TOB sleeve, Steeda quick ratio quadrant, Billetflow firewall adjuster, MM clutch pedal height adjuster, LDC freeplay kit, LDC cooling mod.....

took those for granted, yes 26 spline Liberty, LP sleeve, OE bearing

All you have to do is a search on this. There must be 50 threads about this.

So far I agree with the others. I would use a Ford throwout bearing. The ones Spec supplies chirps like a cricket.


Doug, go with the SPEC, I have seen first hand, the DFX blows.

Ram Powergrip or Centerforce dual friction

Cant go wrong with the LDC Cooling mod, liberty 26 spline input shaft and the steel TOB sleeve.

I would use a TIMKEN TOB as the ford is INFERIOR and last about 15k miles.

Part #?

Ok couldnt find a TIMKEN but SKF bearings are as good, available at checker/schucks/cragen
SKF Bearing
Part Number: CN1714

Apparently some of the SPEC kits come with a TIMKEN but I have "heard" to much bad about SPEC to purchase one. I am hoping to stay on my stock clutch till the end of summer when I will be purchasing either the Ram Powergrip or Centerforce DFX.

I am only using the PP, I am using a CF LM disc. I got too good of a price to pass them up Thanks for the info, though. I hope not to have any problems with this setup, but I guess I will find out soon. Ideally, I would like to have gone 26spl, but the timing of the clutch going out did not compiment my funding schedule
