Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Transaxle Centerforce for cheap...

Just thought I'd throw in that my stock SVT clutch held the power of my turbo that night at the track. It was well broke-in of course and had about 15K miles on it from the 3L already. I don't think it would have held with consistent back to back runs at the strip with the intercooled turbo, but it held fine for a run up through the gears. In my opinion, NO car on here needs more than the stock clutch unless they are high torque 3L, Turbo or S/C 3L. The only real damage to my stock clutch was the wear and tear on the springs in the hub. Too soft for continued 3L abuse. I'd bet the spec stage 2 is all I'd ever have needed, but I used the "P" for plenty rule here and got the big boy stage 3.
