need a new clutch but im on a budget

[slow3gt]

my clutch is going quick and i need a new one but im on a pretty tight budget $250 or so i was gonna get a McLeod but they are out of my price range now if i have to end up spending the money for a McLeod or Centerforce i will but are there any cheaper alternatives that will perform well?

JayC swears by the "king cobra" Frpp clutches. Although he does go through one ever couple a years i think.

King Cobras are nice, but they do not make it for your year. I would just spend the extra money on the mcleod.

Then again if you get the mcleod or centerforce, it is recomended that you get a aluminum flywheel also.

Try RAM, and Spec. The Spec Stage 1 starts around $180 I belive. No experience with either, but i'm needing a new one, and am also on a buget. Curious to see which one you go with.

i just called a couple shops around here mcleod 100 series (holds 350hp) for $300 or the Mcleod 800 (holds 550) for $350 and a centerforce df was $339 they also all said just to get the flywheel resurfaced ive thought about a spec i just know they have really tough pedal effort but i would love to save a couple hundred right now if they arent that bad

yeh I heard that the centerforce clutches are near stock pedal efford. This is somthing you def want, I used to drive my mustang with the king cobra everyday and it sucks

 

[def1eppard]

I had a King Cobra in my old 5.0 and after a while I got used to the super stiff pedal and I kinda liked it. A Spec 1 is going in my 98 soon. I've had the clutch for over 2 years. I don't hear much about Spec anymore, but back when I bought it everyone used to talk about how they loved Spec. Of course most people actually race their cars and get stage 2 or 3.

The Centerforce DF clutch is a great clutch for
the money.I will be getting a Centerforce one day.

Just stick with stock and don't abuse this one.
There is no reason why it shouldn't last you 100,000 miles
