i got a spec 3 driveability is real good. if i were you i would get a clutch cable as well.
check to see if your cable snap it sounds like it since you have no resistance any way good luck. congrats on the cobra.maybe that smell was the clutch.

Yes I'm w him.. clutch worn out, tob squeaking, and cable prob broken. Spec 3+ here w the other lil tricks like a clutch quadrant and firewall adj., a shifter. A worn stock clutch will break a cable in time as I know. Lethal performance is a good place, they know cobras...

OP,they are giving you a hard time because you used all Capital letters!
Your tob when out and broke the tob sleeve. Your clutch is probably still ok(my tob went out at 93K the clutch still looked good) and has some life left but if your going to do any mods to up the hp youll need to upgrade the clutch and now would be a perfect time. Since the tranny is coming out might as well upgrade to a 26 spline input shaft. I went with a spec stage 3+. It is awesome i have about 1500 miles on it now, it now feels just like the stock one the chatter is really bad at first but gone now.
Sorry about that..:banana:
Do you think that spec 3+ is to much for my cobra its all stock ...what is that 26 spine input shaft ...sorry for the dum question this is my first time owning one of this cars don't know crap about them but im very excited..:rockon:
There you go!!! :beer::beer::beer:
I'm excited for you too, but why buy if you appear to have NO idea about them? The internet is a wonderful resource where you can spend hours and hours just reading and researching to get your basic questions answered. A search here wouldn't hurt either as you can imagine clutch questions have been asked a million times.
To your question - in my opinion the stock clutch is a perfectly fine replacement, especially if you're all stock. I would say upgrade to something like the stage 3 only if you go to a TS. It won't hurt to get one now, I'm just saying it's not necessary.
Read this thread and enjoy the new car...

I would just go with a stock replacement.. call Steve at Tousley ford (1800-328-9552) or lethal performance (1877-253-8425) and make sure you get the LDC clutch freeplay and firewall adjuster and clutch quadrant to go with it.

I agree... the stock clutch works very well even for cars up to 500rwhp.
Hey guys thanks for ya's help and advice..And sorry to bother some people
True stock is good, smooth right away too, but if in traffic all the time or a weak left foot like mine is, your foot and leg will thank you. Or spray it, etc. etc. Stock is cheaper also and have the flywheel resurfaced if not cracked. Yea the t56 tob sleeve breaks on these, lethal performance has a good replacement version. Lil nickel neverseize on the tob sleeve also like you do a t5.
Btw I really like the new upr clickstop firewall adj. and their quick quad. Shifts faster and does not loosen up. Fiore is very good also. They are almost the same thing. Lethal has a quick quad w the fiore adj. Key word, click lock. I always was adj. my old one as it got loose even w a double nut. The upr matched my sonic blue color pretty good, why I got that.

Get an aftermarket clutch w/the 26 Spline Input Shaft (the stock 10 spline input shaft will handle up to 500 rwhp, the 26 can handle up to 800hp) while you can, you will regret it in the long run. also upgrade that lousy TOB (Throw Out Bearing) & it's sleeve.
