My clutch seems fine when I take off in 1st even if I get on it to spin the tires but as soon as I go to 2nd it wants to slip. I tried putting it in 5th at about 25mph and flooring it but it does not slip at all. What do you guys think? Should I just replace the clucth and forget about it or could it be something else. The car is a 99 gt convertible with 37k miles. If I do replace it what do you recomend? I just plan on bolt ons no F.I. anytime soon. Right now I have an o/r x pipe and weld in 40series flows. Id like to see the car running high 12s this summer I plan on putting in 4.10s but I want to get the clucth problem figured out first. Also should I replace the flywheel while everything is apart or is it not worth the extra money.

Dumb question... but are you sure 2nd gear isnt broke? lol

I have a problem with my pressure plate sticking now and then, but it really isnt gear specific. Usually clutch problems arent related to a single gear, it'll just slip under heavy load in general... I'd go with a King Cobra clutch, and just get the stock flywheel turned at a machine shop.

6 speed!!! 4.30 gears!

haha, out of my budget though.

Whitefoxgt - under normal driving everything seems fine. A few weeks ago I took my brother in law for a ride. I stopped, revved it up to about 3k and dumped the clutch everything seemed fine. tires were spinning. I shifted at about 5k and dumped it into 2nd and the tires stopped and the clutch was slipping. Ive tried this 3 or 4 times now with the same result everytime. But when I drive normally everything seems fine. It shifts smooth with no grinds.

Is this a good clutch?

i just put a spec stage 1 on mine and had the flywheel resurfaced. all seems good right now, still in the breaking in process though

That link is the right clutch.. I like the KC because its not super aggressive, and my pedal felt softer than stock.

king cobra definately for boltons. Ive seen 120k on one and it still grabs like new. Good price too. I just wish motorsports clutches for the 3650 werent $350...
