Default Clutch?

[align=left]Just interested in what clutch I should run. I need to replace it. Not to many mods. 373's x pipe no cats / mufflers and cold air intake. I heard about center force dual friction but is this to grabby for street application? Also how do I tell if my car has a tr3650 trans?

you can tell what trans you have by looking in the door jam there will be a letter code on their. i think the trans code for that is k. i have an 04 GT with spec stage two clutch and it's not too bad. grabs nice, not too hard for a daily driver but you can definitly tell its aftermarket. the only complaint is it slips a little bit on hard shifts. iprobably would have gone a different route if i could have.

That kinda explains itself...
I went with a centerforce dual friction and mine is a DD. Not too hard on the pedal or the grab.. I say go for it, go ahead and spend the extra cash and do it right the first time... You dont want to have to do it again.

If your not going to do anything else to the car get either a spec stage 2 or king cobra from FRPP.

Unless your just making too much power for it this clutch should not be slipping....

I'm going to guess you have an '03 from your name. If it is an '03 then you have the 3650. And if that's the case, you can't use a King Cobra. As far as I know it's not made for that trans. I would go with the Centerforce. It's strong but easy enough for a daily driver.

Centerforce, Ram and Spec clutches are popular for the 3650. A lot of people have complained about Spec's clutches but I haven't had an issue with mine. I did however get a FRPP throw-out bearing as the one Spec gives you in the kit is crap.
