OEM replacement?
If I'm pushing enough horse to fry an aftermarket performance clutch, what chance would an OEM replacement have? :rolleyes:

That was just a joke about the horses but still there's no way I'm going to put an OEM clutch in this car. I think there is a difference between the 3.4L you had and the 3.4L I am running. But still, I do think this clutch was defective.

If you have the money go with aftermarket for sure.

Actually, it should be more than a 60 hp difference but I can't really say anything until I get another clutch and get it to the dyno for real numbers.

I'm trapping about 85 mph (tops), Though I have an auto. And no, I don't think 60hp either... OEM tends to be the best option for reliability, that's not the first aftermarket clutch I've seen torn up. I don't think you'll ever make enough TORQUE (which is what skrews clutches), to mutilate an OEM replacement. I was actually VERY surprised that that one crapped on you. Exedy makes some great clutches, might try one of them if you don't wanna go OEM.

[Jerriko]

?
OEM clutch? Mustangeater who originally suggested that is having problems with his oem clutch. Why would I do that? Besides, I already have the spec 3. Just another break in time to go through. And yeah, at least 60 hp.
