Clutch
I think my clutch is going out. Either that or my tires are balder than I think because when I engage the SC in 3rd, something slips or spins.
Is 12 K on a clutch in a Shelby to be expected? Is there a super heavy duty MoFo clutch avaiable and do you need to order it? Inquiring minds want to know.

Re: Clutch
Bring it by one day and let me drive, sounds like clutch slipping cause you would be going 80-90mph in 3rd gear, so I doubt its your tires. Believe it or not, these clutches don't last long especially if you slip it alot, I always thought your clutch pedal was much harder to press than mine anyways.
Here are the two I was looking at for mine:

The RAM clutch will have a lighter pedal than the spec one, both are very good though.

yea, that sounds like clutch slip than, your putting one hell of a load on it at 40 in 3rd. You will need a flywheel, dual disk clutches aren't cheap as you see, the stock clutch is gonna be around the same price also.

Ouch!
Yeah, I think I confirmed it yesterday. Higher R's SC on, no prob. Lower Rs, slip. Guess I'll just grin and bear it.

Re: Clutch
Can you smell the clutch in the car after you think it has slipped.I have never been around a clutch that slipped that didn't smell bad.It is very noticeable.

Re: Clutch
It only slips for a fraction of a second and then I get my foot out of it. Not long enough to stink things up.

Re: Clutch
Yep, now its time for some tires and clutch. BTW, those clutches listed do have the flywheel in the kit just in case you missed that.

Re: Clutch
I saw that the flywheel was included. That's why I was choking on the price!

Re: Clutch
The Ram. Almost went with the extra torque one, but if this is made for 1,000 hp & 900 ftlbs torque, that ought to be stout enough. That's about twice what I'm pushing.
