Description
When your Ford needs a clutch upgrade that bridges the gap between worn factory components and harsh race-only setups, the Superior Super King Cobra delivers. This complete clutch set solves the common problem of slipping stock clutches on modified 5.0L engines while maintaining the progressive engagement that makes daily driving tolerable. The steel-backed organic disc construction provides significantly more rotational strength than standard organic discs, giving you durability that matches your power goals without sacrificing pedal feel.
The engineering centers on the steel backing plate bonded to organic friction material -- a design that dramatically increases structural integrity under load while preserving the smooth, linear engagement that organic compounds are known for. Unlike full ceramic or Kevlar setups that can feel grabby at low speeds, steel-backed organic facings offer predictable modulation from parking lot crawls to full-throttle launches. The diaphragm pressure plate ensures even clamping force distribution, eliminating hot spots that cause premature wear and inconsistent engagement.
Every Superior clutch disc is hand-assembled at MDL's facility in Caldwell, Idaho. This in-house assembly allows complete control over tolerances and quality -- each component is double-checked for accuracy before it goes in the box. The 10.4" metric bolt pattern with 8mm bolts and alignment dowel pins fits Ford 5.0L applications from '86-95 and similar configurations. Designed for the 10-spline, 1-1/16" input shaft found in T5, T45, Toploader 4-speed, TKO, and TKX transmissions.
Rated at 400 lb-ft torque capacity, the Super King Cobra handles bolt-on modifications and street performance builds with authority. The cable-style throwout bearing makes this kit correct for cable-actuated clutch systems. Backed by MDL's 1-year free-from-defect warranty and lifetime technical support.
