Cobra Issue, any advice?

[REALMCCOYCOBRA]

I have a 2003 Cobra with 36000 miles on it. I have had zero problems with it until today. Car starts up perfect and idles fine but when i push in the clutch put it in 1st mean and release to clutch it barley moves forward. I push the gas and it sorta feels like I'm in neutral but barley moves. does anyone have any advice on this situation?

No Not at all. Have put 2000 Miles on it in the last 3 years. I have never had any issues

What were the events leading up to this?

Sounds like the clutch is gone.

Showing the wife a little speed on the highway and once i got off the offramp, felt really weird. Then I could barely get it up the ramp to my garage. Im pretty sure the guy i bought it from 4 years ago put a stage 2 clutch in it. Those are suppose to be pretty tough right? But i am pushing over 700 hp. Don't know a lot about mechanics.

This information would have been useful in the original post.

Sounds like you smoked the clutch. Get it to a mechanic for inspection.

Aftermarket clutch cable? Might have frayed it.

 

[zredfire04]

something is definitely amiss.

if the problem was the clutch cable, it wouldn't go into gear with the car running and it would move.

it's likely a smoked clutch, as any catastrophic failure in the rest of the drive train would have made getting into the garage impossible.

Mines got the same clutch per the PO. It's good for 550 I think. Looks like when I go E85 I better plan on a new clutch too. Sorry for your troubles. Btw I've heard mcleod is a good choice but like anything else I'm sure some people have bad things to say too. That's what I'm going with when it's time

Probably smoked the clutch and overheated the shit out of the flywheel... Just means you can upgrade with now.

I like the sound of an upgrade

Just wanted to thank everyone for their advice. Figured out the issue, Smoked the clutch.

I'm new to the clutch scene. So you are thinking you may need a new flywheel too and the first link is only the clutch?

Sounds like you have a nice Cobra. Post a picture. Full return fuel system?

At minimum, the clutch needs to be resurfaced with a new clutch. Some companies like fidanza flywheel have a replacement center section.

Very nice looking Cobra! Looking at the engine bay, I'd expect you have a lot of fun with it.
