Replacement Clutch?
Had my car about 2 weeks, now. It has 85k on it. I am noticing that when I really accelerate and shift fast, i can smell the clutch. I also think it may be slipping very slightly when I shift from first to second, since there is hardly any wheel spin. When I have it in a high gear and give it throttle, it shows no sign of slipping. I am thinking I need to replace the clutch and if so wonder which one would be a good one to go with. Is this something I can do myself, as I put 3 clutches in my Mustang one summer alone..
Thanks

Dont laugh but I went to advance auto and got my clutch assembly there. It cost me about $350 or there-abouts. It's a Zoom brand but made by centerforce supposedly. I absolutly abuse mine. As a matter of fact I have an autox in the morning. I put mine in at 60k miles I now have 85 k no problems. Did I say I was rough on it? Let me be sure. I abuse my clutch. It also is the only one I've found to date that has a lifetime warranty on it. It's a limited lifetime so that means you only get 1 free replacement but no one else I've seen does that. I abuse it with no problems to date :p:

Re: Replacement Clutch? (gbfan10)
I replaced mine about 6 months ago. I bought the clutch from dialclutch.com and paid around $320 shipped. I had the flywheel resurfaced, clutch installed, and new 2 new u-joints done for $500 from my mechanicn. The clutch is made by Valeo and out grips the tires, so works for me. Other members have said that Valeo makes the plate for LUK.
