Default Clutch Time ???

Hey guys, I have a 00' GT with about 70,000 miles on it.... My clutch is releasing really high and its making my car just plain annoying to drive....I really have noticed my clutch to be slipping all to bad, and I am wondering if these are signs of my clutch on its way out.???... I know about the Steeda clutch adjusters and stuff...So what would be a good combination for a clutch and is an adjuster necessary, and should I replace the flywheel while im at it???? My plans for the car are possible forced induction maybe 100 shot down the road, and just mild bolt ons..This is my daily driver..Thanks..Any input is appreciated...

probaly is about time. i changed mine at 76k and i got all the steeda stuff. It helped and if its slipping that definatly means its time. I doubt you will have to replace your flywheel. just get it resurfaced thats what i did and everything was good. good luck!

+1, did mine at about 76k when I did my PI swap. Many clutch's to chose from but you can't beat the King Cobra for price and value!

+1 for the king cobra. gives the car a new feel. and when they resurfaced my flywheel they shaved too much off and needed to replace it but they had to pay for it. hahahah.. maybe mention that.
