Clutch???
After putting the vert together we have found that the clutch will not hold any longer. So what clutches are ya'll running. Looking for a stock pedal feel(supposed to be her everyday driver) but be able to hold up to some track launches with the spray. What about a good clutch disc and reuse the current preasure plate??

But if it is going to see juice, use at least a stage II spec. Wall and Chip have used the MMR 700 clutch setup and it is suppose to have nice pedal effort with good grip. Maybe they will repsond or you can pm them |

Well I use a Centerforce dual friction clutch and pressure plate on spray and have had no problems at all and leave on the bottle. Say 5000 to 6000 launches and have been doing that for about a year with no problems and the pedal fills like a stock pedal to me. I have had no problems out of mine yet its been a good clutch set up for me.

-But- The pedal effort with that clutch combo is AWESOME. Feels like you are driving a Honda it is so light. |

The MMR clutch in the grey car was awesome. It was lighter than a King Cobra clutch. It had a nice smooth release and it never slipped.

Since this was the case, I highly recommended the Centerforce DF since I have been more than happy with mine. My coupe has seen at least 20 high-RPM claunches and at least 90 pounds of nitrous driving with no clutch problems whatsoever.

Coupe can get you a good deal on a SPEC clutch. That's what I'll be putting in the Cobra.

I'm going with a stage 3+ in a few months as well. I had a stage 2 in my old car and I never had any problems out of it. The pedal feel was pretty good with it.

I was planning on a 3+, but I've decided I'm probably not going to even come close to the limitations of a 3 within the life of my next clutch.

She has sat in a car with the spec stage 1 and the pedal was a little stiff. I'm sure a stage 3 would be completely out of the question. Beside I don't want my wife having bigger caf muscles than I. I beleive we are going to try a centerforce setup.
