Clutch is going out

when i accelerate sometimes in differenct gears the RPM's jump up high and no acc or torque go to the wheels so its time for a new clutch. this is good on my part with timing since im about to pull the 305 and drop a 350. now, what type of clutch goes good with our cars? anyone recommend anything OEM? aftermarket? or better durability? something that will go with a 350 also (if this matters)

thanks in advance

Re: Clutch is going out

i have a spec and i hate it... it worked good for about 7,000 miles then the pressure plate went to crap and now it hardly disenguages. I'm looking for a new clutch too... i havent read into anything yet though... i'm replacing the whole clutch sys.

Re: Clutch is going out

it seems like a lot of people are having problems witht he high clamp pressure plates... almost like the stock hydrolics arent strong enough.
