I think I blew up my clutch

[jelloslug]

Title says it all. I getting a steady pulse in the pedel, a sickly squeeky scraping noise when the pedel is pushed in and a nice burnt clutch smell. I need opinions on what clutch to get. My car is a daily driver but I'm just about to do a 3.2L conversion so I'd like somthing a bit better than stock. Any thoughts?

If it were me, I'd go with a stock disc and one of Josh's HD pressure plates.

I'd recommend the stock one, unless you have plenty of mods. You can get a stock, Ford stamped, kit from AutoZone with Lifetime warranty for $264.99 p/n NU0122RK. It's the one in the Dynapack, or whatever, box. Includes; pressure plate w/bolts, clutch disc, TOB w/quill sleeve, and alignment tool.

Ditto Mr. Anonymous. I put the 9-puck fibertuff in my '90, and it chatters badly (no other problems whatsoever). Get the SHONut ceramic bearing and reinforced pressure plate, and use the stock disk. I'm in the middle of doing the same thing to my '95.
