Car Forum / Ford / Ford Mustang / May 2007Clutch/Throw-Out Bearing Recommendations
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 > It's finally time to replace the original throw-out bearing in my 1993 > Cobra. The car is mostly stock and has 120K miles.

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. > It's finally time to replace the original throw-out bearing in my 1993 > Cobra. The car is mostly stock and has 120K miles.

I've always heard/read the stock/stock-type clutches are better because of less chatter and pedal pressure. That's why I'm leaning towards a stock unit. Know anything about the "Cobra" clutch?

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. 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 like SPEC clutches.

I had slippage when it was new, but 10K miles later and only get tire slippage now. ;)  SignatureTropic Green Y2K Mustang GT 5spd ATI P-1SC @10lbs MM Suspension http://tinyurl.com/yjdb66 |
