Who is still running the stock clutch?

[mike79]

Im just curious as to how much longer my clutch is going to last, soooo anyone thats around or above the 450hp mark, how is your stock clutch holding up?

Kinda want to know because my mod fund is building, but if i'm going to need another clutch within the next year, then I will hold off.

Depends how you drive. How much you floor the car and how much you slip the clutch. If you putted around, the stock clutch would last and last. I've been checking into clutch prices. Figure around $300 for a Centerforce dual friction, around $400[+/-] for a flywheel, and $35 or so for a throwout bearing.

I drive the car almost every day. I will normally get on it hard once or twice a day. I also downshift quite a bit. I thought it was going the other day, but then adjusted the firewall adjuster, and all seems ok for now.
Ive heard great things about the CF DF. What kind of flywheel do they reccomend with that unit?

 

[flyn high again]

Of course CenterForce recommends their own. They have a steel one or a more expensive aluminum. Some guys go with a less expensive different brand. CenterForce suggests replacing the stock aluminum flywheel when you put in their clutch set but I don't know if this is really necessary or if they're just trying to sell flywheels.

[mike79]

Stock clutch here also. Still holding with 522 to the wheels and 11.0's . Probablly looks like ass though.

03 KB Cobra with 19 lb pulley and over 16,000 miles on stock clutch. Well I did just today go from the KB 15 to the 19 lb set up and I think I 'll order a CF next week to have....just in case

I have only over 1000 miles on over 450RWHP

I dont drive it like an animal all the time. take off from a stop light at like 1200 rpm.....

I get on it every now and again but its slipping a clutch that heats it up and kills it. ( I know as I killed my stock SS clutch on my camaro in 21K)

my clutch might last it might not. its cheaper then it would have been for my camaro that is all I Care about

14k+ hard miles, modded since 800 miles, 2.80 450hp+ since 1200 miles. 500whp apten for 8 months now.

No problems except when its on a big big sticky ET Streets doing clutch dumps, holds the n20 with no problem on the street and dyno.

I have a spec3 waitin to go in once this starts slippin bad

Stock clutch and flywheel needed replacing at 16000kms.
Daily driven but stored in the winter time. Driven fairly hard and on Nittos DRs for about 9k.

I got a SPEC 26 spline stage 3i and a steel flywheel along with the 26spl IS. My flywheel was finished and so was the pressure plate. SPEC is awesome. No slippin anymore.

 

[71stang99]

with my mods just passed 7400 miles and I get on it often but try not to slip the clutch

 

[cobra101]

20k miles plus here. approx. 440rwhp/460rwtq on stock clutch. Seems ok. I am going to try and go for 40k plus before I think about changing it.

Ohh, I run it hard a couple of times a day but do NOT dump the clutch much at all. Usually a light slip or bog from 1500-2000 rpm.

 

[fubu795]

11k miles, moded since 5k, 15 + track runs with et streets, and she still pulls with the best of them....

 

[AmazonTuning]

I think it was SummitRacing. I don't remember for sure. One of the catalog websites...

450HP/460ft-lb at the wheels, 26K miles and original clutch is still doing its thing even though I've smoked it three or four times, one time with a LOT of smoke/smell (Doh!).

When it's time, I plan on the CF DF.
