Description
When your Ford build demands maximum holding power without stepping up to a larger disc diameter, this MDL Superior kevlar/ceramic clutch delivers the coefficient of friction you need. The dual-face design places kevlar on the flywheel side for smooth initial engagement and ceramic on the pressure plate side for aggressive bite and superior heat resistance. This combination provides the hard-hitting launch characteristics drag racers demand while maintaining streetability for aggressive street applications.
The engineering advantage is in the materials science: ceramic friction material contains iron pieces that actually increase the coefficient of friction as temperatures rise, making it ideal for high-heat racing applications where traditional organic materials would fade. When you can't fit a larger diameter disc or step up to a heavier pressure plate, the kevlar/ceramic surface combination delivers higher holding power within the same footprint. The lower lever height pressure plate is specifically designed for hydraulic release bearing applications, eliminating the binding and inconsistent pedal feel that can occur when using standard mechanical clutches with hydraulic actuators.
All MDL Superior clutch discs are hand-built in-house so quality and tolerances are controlled at every step, with each disc checked and double-checked for accuracy before shipping. This kit fits Ford 12-5/8" bolt pattern applications requiring a 1-1/16" x 10-spline input shaft, making it ideal for TREMEC TKX, TKO, and other 10-spline transmission swaps. Throwout bearing sold separately - contact MDL regarding your specific application.
Made in the USA and backed by MDL's 1-year warranty. Perfect for muscle car builds, street/strip applications, and performance restorations where you need serious holding power in the stock clutch footprint.
