replaceing the clutch
The clutch on my 06' is starting to slip. With just over a 100K on the stock clutch I'm going to bitch. I want to upgrade to a duel friction clutch instead of just replacing w/ an OEM. I don't have a clue to what I need to replace. I've been looking at the CenterForce clutch kits, but what else do I need? Suggestions are welcome and appreciated. Below is link to the clutch I'm looking at.

I think the clutch is going cause in 1st and 2nd gear the RPM's climb but the MPH plateau and the car doesn't want to move any more till I shift.

Your link goes to a Clutch Kit and that is all you need. Now you just have to install it, not an easy job by any means. First time I replaced a clutch was on my 93 Cobra and it was a bitch and I'm good at turning a wrench.
The Centerforce Clutch is a good product.

I've done some minor upgrades and maintenance but putting a clutch in is a bit out of my skill range, so I"m going to just let the shop install it. I appreciate the responses, I wasn't sure if I could use the OEM flywheel or not, so that answers my question.
I'm not planning on going F/I, but I'm going to build up the motor. I have a lot of parts waiting to go in, stroker kit, heads, cams, headers. So I just wanted a stronger than stock clutch to go w/ the build.

1. Flywheel - New or get the current one machined...ends up usually being the same money last time I did one. I personally just bought a new one to avoid the hassle of the machining.
2. Centering Tool - little piece of plastic about the size of a ice-cream cone with a bunch of splines. 100% must have...do not attempt without
3. Throwout Bearing - sometimes needed. Sorry, but I don't know if these cars have one. Replace if it does.
4. Loctite - Make sure to use when you re-install everything.
Do the clutch yourself. It really is easy. Unbolt a few things and have a buddy help you lower it to the ground. Not hard at all.

this really is a DIY project. The hardest part of the job is aligning the input shaft when you are putting the tranny back in.
Take your time, use some common sense, and be careful.

no shame in having a shop do the install, 99%
(guessing) of clutches, are done by shops
talk to centerforce on whether or not to use
the stock flywheel and whether they recommend
a new oem slave. also with your mileage, you
will probably want the shop to replace the
pilot bearing while it is exposed.
the roush P51 clutch kit has become popular
lately, for handling more power than stock, yet
remaining comfortable to drive.

Summit has it cheaper...

Do it yourself and learn along the way, its not really hard. I would spend the money on a new flywheel unless you know someone who can turn yours for cheap.
