Need to replace the clutch and am looking for recommendations. Clutch is 10.5" and I have the viper spec T56 with the 26spline input shaft so I'll need the disc to match.

Other than torque/HP capacity, I want a clutch with a longer smooth engagement, enough of this on/off crap.

Thanks in advance.

I really like my Spec stage 3+, nice, smooth engagement, soft pedal and will hold really good at your current power level and even if throw a little more at it. :awesomework:

he needs more than a basic king cobra. The pressure plate is fine, just not the disk. I would call a good drivetrain specalist like d&d, astro performance or promotion powertrain and see what they recommend. Doubt any will recommend a harsh spec.

sounds like an adjustment issue.

how so? i'm not referring to how far from the floor it engages. i'm talking about how long the travel is from when the clutch starts to grab to when its fully engaged. i would think that's in the clutch design, not in the adjustment.

Thanks for everyone's recommendation on this. So far, 5 votes for Spec 3 (including a buddy of mine who emailed couple months back) and 2 votes for centerforce.

Appreciate anymore recommendations.

I had a spec 1 and loved it, last year a spec 2 and loved it, and this year i'll have a spec 3 in the car.

Spec is the only company I would used for a single disc clutch

How much harder to push down is the spec 3 comparing to stock clutch?

I felt the Spec clutch & wasn't over impressed! ...as far as feel, about the same as a OEM Cobra clutch...trust me Centerforce DF feels a ton lighter! :headbang:

^^ I have never tried a centerforce but I will tall you that the spec 3 is badass and I like it a lot. The car also has a 26 spline imput shaft (its a nice upgrade when its out!!)
