I got my Cobra 5 years ago, and it had a super stiff clutch. So stiff, you had to use leverage from the back of the seat, and it lifted my butt out of the seat. Three years went by, and the clutch went out, so we put a brand new Centerforce Dual Friction clutch and Pressure plate in, as well as new flywheel. Got in the car, and pretty much the same stiffness. My brother happens to own a 2003 SVT Cobra also, (identical cars) and I almost put my foot through his firewall because it was so soft and nice. His had a very nice spring in the motion and it just felt so good. When I get in my car again, its all one solid pressure all the way down to the firewall. There isn't that point when you get through the friction zone where it gets softer. The clutch has gotten hot twice in the city, and I don't have enough free travel and the car gets stuck in gear, or wont go into gear. When I started to really look into how a clutch works, it appears to me the only problem can be in the pressure plate or throw out bearing, which were brand new 5k miles ago. I heard Cobras were stiff, but my brothers 03 Cobra is butter compared to mine. Any ideas of what else it could be!?
