Hello members
I have a '76 2.0 with an upgraded big bore powerplant from FAT. I do some autocross with it and take it out to shows. Is there an option for a stronger/longer lasting clutch other than original? if so, are there any downfalls other than pedal pressure, premature thrust bearing failure, tranny or other issues it can cause. Thanks for the guidence.

You should be good, did it fail? Slipping? Or are you just thinking upgrade?

A few things:

Is it adjusted proper? you should have 3/4" play at the pedal.
Does the pedal move freely?
Any main or input shaft seal leaks?
Oil contamination could also be a flywheel O-ring leak.
You might want to check to spec between the face and 2nd step.
Nothing kills a disc quicker than resting your foot on the pedal.
