RE: Clutch ques...
my buddy is running 12.43 in his 89 lx with a king cobra it hasnt slipped once and its the same clutch that was in the car when he bought it...I personally believe the king cobra will out live the T-5 as long as you are a good driver, the KC is just pretty much evenly match for the T-5

I have a KC clutchy and the owner before me put it on and it is like a work out for my left leg to push it in. Any one else have the same problem?

RE: Clutch ques...
I'm running the Ram HD and love it. It grabs really well for mild to moderately modded stangs...anything more and I'd look at a Spec stage 2. I've heard a lot of horror stories from local guys about Centerforce....discs break. They also may have been running more power than the clutch was designed for so just take that at face value....

RE: Clutch ques...
hell my stock clutch is hard enough for me to push, i guess im used to the girly clutch that i thought was stiff in an RX-7, hell now i get in it and bought put a whole in the floor its so much easier! loli havefelt a KC and i dont plan on getting one anytime soon.. if the stocker goes out which seems pretty good so far, ill look at a spec stage2 or maybe a centerforce.

RE: Clutch ques...
I really need help. My clutch is hard as a rock. My dads87 Gt all stock has a nice gently clutch.I bought my 86Gt with a rock hard clutch and then replaced it with a King Cobra clutch. It was still hard as a rock, I then tried a stock pressure plate with no difference. I just put in a Spec 2 with Brand New Clutch Fork, Pivot Ball, Urethane Mount, Adjustable clutch cable with firewall mount andpilot bearing, It is still hard as a rock. I changed the throwout bearing both times and had the flywheel resurfaced. Its not that I'm weak I just know from driving other 5.0's that mine is just not right. PLEASE HELP
