Description
When your Ford build demands both holding power and street manners, this hybrid-facing clutch assembly delivers both without compromise. The ceramic material on the flywheel side bites harder and holds more power given the same clamping force, while the steel-backed organic facing on the pressure plate side provides progressive engagement for daily driving. This dual-personality design solves the classic street/strip dilemma - you get the grip for spirited driving and the smooth pedal feel for stop-and-go traffic.
The 10.4" metric pattern fits Ford 5.0L and compatible small block applications, with 8mm pressure plate bolts and alignment dowels for precise flywheel registration. MDL ceramics contain iron pieces that create more friction as material temperature increases, making this clutch particularly effective under sustained high-heat conditions where pure organic materials would fade. The heavy-duty diaphragm pressure plate provides consistent clamping force throughout the disk's service life.
Every Superior clutch disk is hand-built in MDL's Caldwell, Idaho facility and double-checked for accuracy before shipping. This ensures the tight tolerances and balance critical for smooth operation and long service life. The sprung hub design absorbs drivetrain shock during aggressive launches while protecting your transmission's input shaft splines from damage. Compatible with both cable and hydraulic release systems for maximum application flexibility.
Engineered for street performance and open track use where maximum power transfer matters. The 550 ft-lbs torque capacity handles modified small blocks while maintaining the progressive engagement characteristics needed for real-world driving. Made in the USA with MDL's Performance Proven heritage - tested under racing conditions and proven reliable.
