Hey guys my throw-out bearing is goin bad in my clutch..in my 96 gt.. i guess the person that had it before me didnt know really how to drive stick, but the clutch still seems good.... would it be better to just replace my whole clutch or just replace my throw-out bearing ... and how much time would it take if i did replace the bearing

 

I would say replace it all as a whole if it goes bad soon because you are gonna get charged for the whole clutch install even if you do just the throw out bearing. The problem is you dont know when or where you will be when it goet out and your clutch pedal falls to the floor! You might just be sitting on the highway for a while! LOL

If you replaced it and knew what you were doing and had the proper tools you can have the whole tranny pulled and the whole clutch assy replaced in four hours. Thats with a good lift and tranny lift.

 

my car has 69,000 miles on it and its the original clutch but it still seems good becides the dam bearing ... if i decide to do it myself then ill jus do the bearing .. if i decide to not do it myself ill just get a new clutch installed i guess ..

 

With that many miles you may as well replace the whole assy to save yourself the trouble of doing it later. MDValdosta has 50,000 some odd miles on his with a blower and it still grabs pretty good.

 

alright... any suggesttions on wut type of clutch i should get for it..

 

Dont go with Centerforce! I hear they are terrible. I would get a King Cobra. Those are good for 600hp at high rev launches. I was gonna get one but I have the upgraded size clutch and they didnt make that size. I really cant remember the good brands. I replaced mine with a Ford Racing clutch and it has been feeling weak here lately and that was about 20000 miles ago. Im sure someone will jump in here soon and recommend something soon.

 

alrighty thanks

 

I suggest a Spec stage 1 clutch if you can afford it. Excellent clutches
