Newbie needs some clutch advice

tonyblevinsMember

I'm new to Panteras (had it for a month) and I suspect the clutch must be out. On a spirited run up a very steep hill in 4th gear it felt like something gave way as the rpms went up significantly but not mph... I could smell something similar to brake lining but suspect it must be the clutch. On a couple of drives since it takes significant RPMs to get it to move at all. Also, there is smoke coming from under the hood that must be burning clutch fluid. Must be a burnt clutch right ?

Does anyone have ideas on best clutch set and source ? I assume I should get the throw out bearing, pressure plate and clutch as a set ? Not sure if I should upgrade or use the factory clutch ? My car is a GTS with some mild engine mods (cam, bigger carb etc) < 400hp. Also, anyone know of a good shop in the SF bay area and how much would be a fair price for the labor. Thanks ! Tony
