Hey guys I have a brother in law who owns a 08 shelby and his clutch went out and hes been looking around and trying to find out what's a better clutch that could go on instead of the same one. I told him ill help him too and here I am asking if ya could help us out on what clutch is recommended for this beast of car. Thanks

Without a doubt, tell him to look into the new Centerforce DYAD dual disc clutch. Super light pedal effort, better than stock street manors and will hold 1200 lbs of torque right out of the box. Easy install, no special tools or fitment, direct bolt in and go. I have tried just about everything out there and this one is the best on the market now. Part number 04114805. Goes for around $1500. Good luck!

Mcleod RXT.....
It's the best selling, best performing clutch on the market. The RXT offers smooth engagement and light pedal effort equal to or less than stock. It's also going to hold pretty much whatever you throw at it. We run them in the Lethal shop cars with great success and sell hundreds of these things each year.
It's also an excellent time to order one as we have a sale going on all week long for all Mcleod products. From now until the 18th you'll receive 20% off.
Give us a call if you have any questions or need assistance placing the order.
Thanks, Jared

Another vote for the Mcleod RXT. I've been running it for a year and love it, pedal feel is lighter than stock and its much quieter than the stock clutch.
Another vote for Mcleod. I went with a RXT because I'm modded and I am well over 600 @ wheels. Plus I also go to the drag strip. For your brother in law, he could probably go with a RST which should fit his needs.
As for the flywheel, you can take a look and see what it looks like. For the slave I would say buy a new one. You can pick them up for a 100$ at rockauto.

If you have an 07-09 GT500 you'll want the 6918-07. That's the RXT clutch with lightened steel flywheel. If the car has had the TSB done to it and uses the 2010 GT500 clutch then you'll need the 2010+ sprung hub version of the RXT which is 6975-07M.
6918-07

If the stock slave cylinder is in good condition you can e-use it. If it's leaking or if you just feel like replacing it with a new one we sell the new slave cylinders here.
Let me know if you have any other questions or need assistance placing the order.
Thanks, Jared
go SPEC P trim
Ninjak, are you running the rock auto aftermarket slave cyclinder? Skeptical of running a non OEM slave.
My buddy is running an RXT on his 07 with over 600rwhp. He loves it. The pedal feel is awesome and it holds like a champ.
