Description
Finding quality clutch components for Ford's inline 6-cylinder applications has always been a challenge. This MDL Superior 9-inch clutch assembly delivers a complete, ready-to-install solution for 1967-1973 Ford inline 6-cylinder vehicles running the factory cable-release clutch system. The organic/organic friction material provides smooth, progressive engagement that's ideal for street driving and weekend cruising without the grabby, on-off characteristics of aggressive race compounds.
Every Superior clutch disc is hand-assembled in-house at MDL's Caldwell, Idaho facility. The double-riveted friction material construction ensures facing integrity under repeated engagement cycles, while the sprung hub design absorbs driveline shock and reduces chatter during takeup. The diaphragm-style pressure plate delivers consistent clamping force across the entire disc surface, rated at 150 ft-lb torque capacity for reliable street performance.
The 10-spline x 1-1/16" hub configuration matches stock Ford 3-speed and overdrive transmission input shafts, and the cable-style throw-out bearing is specifically designed for Ford's mechanical linkage. This kit ships complete with a pilot bushing to properly center the transmission input shaft and an alignment tool for accurate disc positioning during installation. Note: When using the MD-LBS-136 flywheel, three alignment pins (MD-403-3016) are required and sold separately.
MDL builds Superior clutches with the same precision and pride that goes into every drivetrain component we sell. Each assembly is inspected for quality and flawless operation before it ships, so you receive a ready-to-install piece right out of the box. Made in the USA.
