Hey guys, I'm a new member and would like to know what you think is a good clutch for an 89 Mustang GT.

Thanks
John

for stock applications, nothing is better than stock, or you can get a 93 cobra clutch, which is the same as a king cobra clutch that you see in all the catalogs.

i prefer the SPEC clutch myself, you can choose from several stages. For a stock stang I would go either Stage 1 or 2 but not higher than Stage 2

I just got my king cobra and it works great. The clutch feels softer than the OEM

The different stages indicate horsepower rating and the higher Stage # the stiffer the pressure plate as well as higher amount or HP and TQ it can handle.
