Clutches

[97-cobra]

I just recently got a King Cobra Ford Racing clutch for my 1997 cobra. My cobra is mostly stock, only exhaust, rear end gears to a 3.55 and spark plug wires. I ran a few times at the race track and the clutch stopped working, I couldn't disengage it basicly. My boyfriend took it out and the clutch had caught fire and ripped at the rivets into several pieces. Anyone else had this problem??? Luckily I got it from Summit Racing and I exchanged it for the $379 Centerforce. Anyone use this clutch before? Any problems?

MELISSA!

king cobra's are junk, not because i've known anyone to have promblems with them (they do a good job) but because they end up slipping with low miles of them and or not much hp going through them, and they take a deranged pissed off ape to push them to the floor.. everyone called mine the "ground pounder"

spec stage 1 is much better clutch, the clutch i have is even better, but its a secret i'll give you this much of a hint though, its made as a factory replacement clutch for 500hp and below honduh's

spec are good clutches, just get the NEW spec throwout bearing or an ford oem, the old design spec TB's are POS
