It's finally time to replace the original throw-out bearing in my 1993 Cobra. The car is mostly stock and has 120K miles. What clutch/ bearing do you recommend? Is the stock [1993] Cobra clutch still available? Patrick |
you can get a non squeaking bearing type, but it wont squeak anyway for
another 80,000

I like SPEC clutches. It is one of the few that can live with 460 ft-lbs of torque at 2,500 rpm. They have clutches for various applications. NoOptio...

the pressure plate is actually easier to actuate that the stock one.
The SPECs use a more modern disc material. The pad area on the clutch
in my '89 LX is small considering the force it can handle.
Sorry for the delay in replying. I missed your post and haven't been on
much lately.

I haven't heard anything bad about them for moderate hp levels. I think the pressure plate is actually easier to actuate that the stock one. The SPECs use a more modern disc material.

I had slippage when it was new, but 10K miles later and only get tire
slippage now.
