After doing some research and looking around I am pretty certain before to long I am doing a new clutch for the cobra. Then today I figured out I have to do a paper for an english class in college on making a recommendation and needed a topic. As such I have decided to do the entire paper on which clutch I should recommend for my vehicle. I was wondering if anyone on here would be willing to do a survey on which clutches they have used and at what power levels to help with my primary research.

Also anyone who knows of good tech articles I can use for secondary research I would really appreciate some links. Same goes for which flywheel or even information in general about different types of flywheels steel vs aluminum.

Use the search bro, bunch of threads like this and a crap ton of single opinions on each type of clutch, in 10 min u could have a 5 page list of opinions.

Yes I know but sadely the teaher is a douche and will want specific answers based on a straight format such as the one above plus maybe if we get a good enough group of responses this could have potential as a large compiled thread we could point people to.
