I'd say either get it now....or just put a Stock input shaft back in!! ....Remember, if you 26 spline in the future, you'll have to change the clutch & re-surface the fly wheel!!!

 

I just got the 26 spline input shaft and 26 spline clutch disk do you think it's okay to not resurface the flywheel since I only have a thousand miles on this clutch

 

depends how it looks it should look perfect!! if you have any worries then take it to get resurfaced that cost like 40 dollars

 

Yes, get the fly wheel re-surfaced!!! ...otherwise you'll have chatter!

 

So what I'm getting out of this thread, is that our engines are well built, and I believe our trannies are decent, but our clutches are sub-par? Is this something we should normally worry about as we mod to increase power?

 

^^^ Not sure on that one!!! I still have the Stock clutch's in BOTH Cobra's!! I think its more how you drive the car...I'm not even sure on the combo of the OP!!!

T-56's actually pretty strong!!

 

Roger. Yeah I've owned the Cobra and a 98 TA M6, both with the T-56. The TA I drove to 175k miles and the engine and transmission were both still strong at that point. The clutch was shot, but heck it lasted 175k miles, can't complain!

So I figured the transmission would be good in our Cobras too. Maybe it's not that our stock clutches are bad, per se, folks are just saying 'if you have to replace it anyway you can do better'...?

 

It's when you get like a spec 3 plus clutch like mine where theres no give at all it just grabs hard and you find the weak spots in your driveline real quick. When I had the stock clutch in I had no issues with anything because the stock clutch is made to slip a little bit

 

Aha, that makes perfect sense. Thanks...
