My cobra has about 463rwhp and im still upgrading and i shredded my Mcleod clutch (POS). I've heard of this 26 spline shafts. Are they really worth the money? and if they are, what would be the best clutch to get for it? thanks

26 the spline count of the transmission input shaft. The higher the spline count, the stronger the input shaft. I don't know if your car has that or not, but I don't think so. Changing that would require taking the trans apart, and replacing the input shaft.

I use a Cenetrforce dual friction clutch in my track car. This care makes about 550hp, but the car only weighs 2400#. The clutch is a little stiff, but it can sure handle the abuse.

if youre making more than 550 to the wheels, its worth upgrading to the 26 spline. so stock you have the 10 spline.
im currently in need of one also. I'm leaning towards the spec stage 3, with a torque limit of 680.
it's best priced at brenspeed.com something like 325 with free shipping.

let me know what you go with.

later.

Spec stage 3/3+ seem to be pretty popular with the cobras. I know a few people who have that setup and they swear by it.

I dont want to go over 550hp. 500 would be ideal for me because i use it about twice a weekto give hersome exercise and the occasional drag (maybe once a month) so you're telling me the 26 spline wouldnt be necessary? The tranny is already off the car and since it was off i was considering changing the spline even though i have no idea how. (but i guess thats what mustangforums is here for). So then i should just buy a good 10 spline clutch then? If i misunderstand please let me know, thanks for the help guys

so if 500 is ideal for you, the 26 spline input shaft wouldn't be necessary. Once you start modding and know the difference in power output, you'll want more. If you're deadset on 500 with no means of going higher, the 26 spline input shaft isn't needed.

The spec stage 3 clutch kit is the one i suggest you get. it's fairly priced at brenspeed along with free shipping. Its the one imma get even though im stock besides a chrome cai. But im planning on doing mods once some cash free's up for me.

thanks alot for the help. I guess that'll be the one i get as well. Have you heard good things about it?

562cobra

a lot of guys in here get the spec brand clutch. so i did some research and think that its worth getting. i havent heard anything bad about them. stage 3 is rated at 680 ft/lbs. so its a buy once, buy right.
