Hello,
I need to buy a Grizzly clutch, was also considering a flywheel as well. I called SP mototsports and I haven't heard back from them yet. Is there another place that may have these in stock? Thanks for your help as usual.

Maybe rethink what brand you want to buy being that not allot of people carry that clutch. Maybe try centerforce or ram. I am working with ram right now and you can get that clutch from summit pretty cheap. just shoot me a pm if you want to know how a ram feels. Its also user preference.

ordered mine from SPmotorsports. If you get that recording just call right back. You have to keep calling until Joe answers. For some reason he doesnt return the messages

I dont mean to scare you, but I'm having some probs w/ my Grizzly clutch and its only been in for a month. Still dont know exactly what the problem is ...might have to pull the trans again

I got the OEM grizzly from Joe (spmotorsports)a good year 1/2 ago now. I recently pulled out my engine/trans to put in an SVT engine and thought I would take a look at the clutch to see the wear on it. To my suprise it looked hardley touched! And trust me, I drive my car like I stole it so I had more burn outs then I can remember on that clutch. I was going to buy another clutch kit for the svt engine (RAM PowerGrip - $360, only $60 more then the grizzly). Dustyn recommended it. Seems like a good clutch. But I just can't afford it at the moment so I'm just gonna reserface the flywheel (svt's of course) and place the Grizzly back in it. I liked it and I must say I was VERY impressed with how little wear was on the disc.....I guess it's the Kevlar!!

Easiest way I found to get a hold of Joe is to e-mail them an order request, with Part numbers etc from thier site. Joe more likely call you back and leave his Cell #.

dustyn: whats the solution...buy a different clutch.

They're re-installing the stock slave cylinder.

Sorry neal didn't mean to come off like -ick. I have talked to terry and he also has had this problem and grizzly has yet to give a refund. Ok here is what is happening they are more than likely sending you a slave cylinder for a zetec mtx75 which doesn't contract as much but has more travel causing it to burst prematurely. When you push in your clutch that little slave kinda looks lika an accordian pushes on the pressure plate causing your clutch to disngage but since it has more travel it wants to push out farther causing a strain on the slave and eventally rupturing and then you have no pedal left beacuse there is no fluid in the slave. I have the same problem right now also with ram. But they are sending me a whole new clutch set and then I will send the old back. They said that they will refund my money if in fact they are at fault. SOLUTION: Buy a genuine ford slave cylinder for the duratec v6 of course and contrast and compare. All slaves are the same. Thats what terry tells me. Any other questions send me a pm and i will be more prompt with an answer. I also ordered a genuine ford slave this second go around. My slave didn't burst but slips in the upper rpms beacuse the slave doesn't retract far enough, not letting the full pressure to go on the clutch pack.

I would steer clear of grizzly, heard quite a few bad things about them lately. I am running a clutchmaster and I love it, I think that is who Terry was endorsing as well right?
