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.

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.

Jeez Louise! Do I need a flywheel as well?

Oh and I was only doing about 40 when I kicked in the SC in 3rd.

Lead foot

A fast car is like a beautiful woman. You just can't keep your hands off of her....

Well done

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

lol, pretty pricey, but the stock ford clutch sucks anyways!

New clutch, new tires, coupla grand light and I should be good to go!

Its ok Blair, your part of Big Oil, you have all the money! :)

Don't forget he's retired and works for play money.

Yeah, Blair's a balla!

Clutch ordered and on the way...

Which one u go with?

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.

Yea, the Ram clutch should did the trick.

My clutch was delivered yesterday evening. Now just waiting on the tires.

Tires are present!

So when is a good time to bring the beast in?

Saweet!!! Blair's getting a makeover!

God could I use one!

Oh, you mean the car......
