Description
When your Ford build demands more grip than a stock clutch can deliver but street manners still matter, this hybrid Kevlar/organic combination delivers the best of both worlds. The Kevlar facing on the flywheel side provides aggressive initial bite and superior heat resistance for spirited driving, while the steel-backed organic facing on the pressure plate side maintains smooth engagement and extended service life under normal driving conditions. This combination makes the clutch ideal for Performance Street Plus applications where you need dependable grip without sacrificing daily drivability.
The steel backing plate on the organic side resists warping under high temperatures and maintains consistent pedal feel throughout the clutch's life -- a significant upgrade over typical organic-only disc construction. The sprung hub design absorbs driveline shock during aggressive shifts and hard launches, protecting your transmission's synchronizers while delivering crisp power transfer. With a 450 lb-ft torque rating, this clutch handles serious power upgrades without complaint.
Every Superior clutch is hand-assembled and inspected at MDL's Caldwell, Idaho facility before shipping. Each assembly is double-checked for proper disc alignment, pressure plate trueness, and bearing operation. The diaphragm pressure plate provides linear engagement characteristics -- no grabby on-off behavior that makes daily driving difficult. The mechanical throw-out bearing design eliminates the complexity and potential failure points of hydraulic systems, making this an ideal upgrade for classic Fords running cable or rod-style clutch linkages.
The 10.4" metric bolt pattern with dowel pin alignment fits Ford 5.0L HO flywheels commonly found on 1986-1995 Mustang applications. The 1-1/16" x 10 spline disc works with Ford 4-speed, T-5, 3550, TKO, and TKX transmissions. Made in the USA with a 1-year free-from-defect warranty and lifetime MDL tech support.
