Ford is replacing my motor in my svt. Im going to have them do the clutch at the same time. I would like to know what clutch to put in(centerforce, ram, exc.) Im looking for a hard shifting clutch, But halfway decient when driving normal on the road.

I have heard nothing but good reviews on the Centerforce clutch. Clutchmaster makes a good unit too.

This would be a perfect time to upgrade to a lightweight flywheel (SHOShop is my choice - If you can get past their utter lack of customer service & integrity) and a Quaife LSD.

I'm also in the market for a clutch and I'm thinking about the Unorthodox Racing Stage 1 full faced Kevlar clutch. Any opinions?

I've heard the UR clutchs create alot of chatter. I'd go with centerforce ro clutchmaster personally. One of which being my next clutch. Probably the centerforce.

I love my ram. I also have one for sale if you are interested its only 300 dollars cheaper then the UR and center force clutchs. I have also heard that the centerforces are good but are very heavy.

Josh,aka The Pakrat, has one and hates it! I've also heard good things about the Clutchmaster and Centerforce!

Right on, changed my mind there. UR is a NO. I'll look into the Centerforce and Clutchmaster units. Any recomendations on where to get them?

It looks like SP Motorsports have the best price on the Centerforce clutch. Does anyone have any experience with it? I'm looking pretty seriously at purchasing it Monday or Tuesday. Also, is the stock release bearing assembly sufficient for the aftermarket clutch?

Got the reasons why?

I have also heard elsewhere that the Grizzly isn't suited for the SVT as it is a stock replacement for the SE and GL models. I was pretty happy with the factory SVT (LUK) clutch but I want a little more durability this time around. It's looking more and more like the Centerforce. Anyone care to comment?

I've got the Ram heavy-duty clutch in mine. Paired with the Quaife, it's a tough deal to beat. It does, however, have a bit of chatter and funny noises, but it grabs great. Just slip it in at around 1200rpm or higher, and no problems. You get used to doing this after a week or so. Price isn't bad either. Ram does recommend buying one from a local Ram dealer rather than through them. It's cheaper. (?)
