I have a 1998 Mustang GT I just installed a UPR King Cobra Clutch kit and a aluminum flywheel about 4000 miles ago and now the throw-out bearing is singing again and I have a vibration in the clutch petal has anyone else had problems with King Cobra Clutch's from UPR thanks for the help

 

Who's flywheel was it ? (brand name) and was it a Ford bearing?

 

It was a fidanza flywheel and the throw-out bearing and pilot bearing came with the clutch kit from UPR I don't know what brand it was a complete kit with clutch cable and quadrant I didnt put a new shifting fork in when the old bearing went out it fell apart in my hand when I went to remove it from the shifting fork thank for the help

 

I have read on numerous accounts in alot of different forums of people having limited life on non OEM throwout bearings. I hate for this to sound like a cop out but there may be some truth to the matter. The only other thing I can think of is having it adjusted a little tight.

As far as the flywheel goes, it could have some hot spots on it, just depends on you driving style. Does your flywheel the replacable friction plate? I would look closely at this when you tear it down to repair.

A Spec or CenterForce is a nice setup.

 

NEVER, and I mean NEVER use anything but the FRPP throw-out bearings and/or the McLeod. After all of the posts on SVTP those seem to be the only two options that are worth it.

That should fix your issue.

 

Thank you all for your info

 

I have the bearing that was included in the clutch kit from SPEC and it has always had a slight squeel since the 500 mile break-in period. I was just wondering if it should be replaced or what? I don't mind it much, but it is kind of annoying. To the OP, just replace the bearing with FRPP.
