Now I feel loved Great info Ellis, and yes I am hearing they do take quite a while to break in. Damn, just another excuse to go out driving
Any comments as to whether I should go Steel or Alum on the fly wheel?
Thanks,
Ken

BTW I have had one with the brokes T-Brn guide and I think I have another one here now with it broken now(With a Spec 3+).
Take this love to heart. It is from experiance

Well, I think I have heard that you can launch harder with the steel and they are more streetable...and more durable..just thinking...

Hey old man... are you buying a new tranny or just upgrading the clutch? Is the T-56 a 26 spline?
Regardless of what you are doing, i would reccomend that you check out www.ddperformance.com
I bought my clutch kit from them, as well as an aluminum driveshaft and stuff when i did the TKO-swap.
They have good deals on clutch kits, and hey sell the "viper" T-56 for your car if you want to go that route.

Sean, just doing the clutch at this point. Upgrading to 26 spline and going steel on the Flywheel.
Here is the link to some pics and vids from the car show you asked about.
Must have been north of 700 cars, good turn out... lots of Goats, vettes, vipers, exotics, and too too many WRX, SRT-4, and EVO's...and hot chicks not wearing much.. .I was in the L for this event, and I was the ONLY L there believe that or not. ..
Our club rolled in with 37 Cobras and the L
Enjoy,
Ken

Duh, guess Im a little slow today. I think I heard something about that at one time but didnt know it was so common. So basically the clutch itself is fine, just dont run the Spec throw out bearing and your good. Sound about right?

Exactly, that is known weakness on the Cobra's... and mine proved not to be different..I would not say they came made of pot metal, but not much better My clutch may still have some life, but why go into it to replace the sleave the TOB rides on and not upgrade

Yes they do Lucky I put a light coating of moly grease on the Guide. so when the bearing started spinning it did not take it out
This is on a 04 Term.
