Description
The factory clutch in your Cobra or GT was designed for grocery runs, not the power you're putting down. When that organic disc starts slipping under hard launches or spirited driving, you need a clutch that can handle the abuse while still being civilized enough for daily driving. The MDL Superior Series solves this problem by combining the smooth engagement characteristics of organic material with the durability advantages of Kevlar-reinforced, steel-backed construction and a 450 ft-lb torque capacity.
The heart of this system is the Kevlar/steel back organic disc. Unlike pure organic discs that can glaze or wear prematurely under performance conditions, the steel backing plate provides structural integrity and heat dissipation while the Kevlar-enhanced organic facing material delivers progressive engagement without the grabby characteristics of full race discs. The sprung hub design absorbs drivetrain shock during engagement, protecting your transmission's input shaft and synchronizers while providing the smooth pedal feel daily drivers demand.
The 11-inch metric pressure plate features a nodular iron diaphragm specifically profiled for cable release systems, ensuring proper clutch finger geometry and consistent pedal feel throughout the engagement range. Every Superior clutch disc is hand-assembled at MDL's Caldwell, Idaho facility, allowing for precise quality control that mass-produced units simply cannot match.
The 10-spline hub configuration fits T-45 and TR-3650 transmissions found in '99-'04 Cobras and '01-'04 GTs, while also being compatible with all '96-'04 3.8L V6 applications. Designed for the enthusiast who demands Performance Proven reliability, this clutch has been validated through rigorous testing both on the track and in real-world street applications.
