Default clutch question

Hey guys,

my car is a 87 GT

Might be replacing clutch seem that the pressurer aint right even after a cable replacment
a King cobra was put it 2 years ago and put 8000 miles on it.

Dont know might be a bad one or wrong install.

I found this one on ebay LINK

can you guys tell me if this is any good? The price is nice, and how do you know if flywheel is bad?

Thanks

I wouldn't buy that being that it's an Ebay special. I don't trust anything that does not have any backing nor affiliated with any "real" companies. What's wrong with your clutch? There's many different things that could be wrong with a flywheel from hot spots to warps, to cracks.

Never heard of that brand. I'd stay away from it. You get what you pay for.

with the new cable in you have to get the pedal all the way down and as soon as you release it car starts to moove

it is a king cobra with 8000miles on it now.

Some friends have cobras with 600hp and one with 450 and they hold perfect,.

i been driving stick for 9 years

so I dont know what the problem is really

anything that has "AIMCO JDM STRAIGHT FROM JAPAN" and FORD RACING in the same space, is probably something to be avoided
