Default AFTERMARKET CLUTCHES ?

I have an 04 GT with a five speed and was wandering what aftermarket clutch u guys would reccomend. I want a clutch that will still give me a softer stock feel cuz i don't want to feel like i'm pushing a brick to the floor. I was kinda thinkin Centerforce? any advice would b greatly apprectiated thanks.

SPEC stage 1 would do the trick.

Never used centerforce... so i cant tell you how good it is.. Currently in my car i have a spec stage 1 clutch with spec aluminum flywheel. Right after the install it was very soft. Then a week later all of the sudden it felt like a brick... so i adjusted the clutch and its soft just like a honda clutch Next time i need a new clutch im gonna get fidanza because there too are a very good company.

I have a centerforce and it is kinda stiff, i wouldn't recomend getting it, it was in the car when i bought it sooo. I would look into a king cobra clutch, alot of the guys in this forum use that.

he cant get a king cobra for his 04 with a 3650...so stop teasing him lol. im pretty happy with my Centerforce Dual Friction. its not the lightest...but its really not horribly heavy at all. but outside of this clutch i have absolutely no experience with other performance clutches soooo i cant compare all that well.

Not to hijack the thread, but what type of clutch would you recommend if someone did want a stiffer than stock feel and one that would be able to be dumped from like 4,000RPM with no clutch slip??

You shouldn't slip almost any of the entry level aftermarket ones unless your making alot more power than stock.

For a car that is only going to see light boltons I recommend the mcleod entry level. I really liked the way that clutch felt and it was still very strong (for a entry level).
