Description
Finding a clutch that correctly bridges your Ford Flathead to a modern T5 five-speed is notoriously difficult. The original Ford Flathead uses a long-style pressure plate bolt pattern that has been obsolete for decades, and matching that pattern to a T5's 10-spline, 1-1/16" input shaft requires a purpose-built solution. This MDL Superior clutch kit solves that problem with components specifically engineered for Ford Flathead to T5 conversions.
The clutch disk features dual Kevlar facings - a friction material choice that delivers aggressive grip and superior heat resistance compared to organic compounds. This makes the kit well-suited for performance street applications where the clutch sees repeated hard launches or spirited driving. Each disk is hand-built in MDL's facility, ensuring precise tolerances and balanced operation before it ships. The diaphragm-style pressure plate provides significantly lighter pedal effort than the heavy original Ford long-style units, reducing driver fatigue without sacrificing clamping force.
The 10-inch diameter and long-style bolt pattern match original Ford Flathead flywheel specifications, while the 250 ft-lb torque capacity handles more than most Flathead builds can produce. The included pilot bushing ensures proper input shaft support, and the alignment tool makes disk installation straightforward. This clutch kit is Performance Proven - tested in real-world driving conditions before it earned MDL's stamp of approval.
Compatible with Ford Flathead V8 engines in T5 transmission conversion applications. Backed by MDL's 1-year free-from-defect warranty and made in the USA.
