Description
When your 4.6L Cobra demands more than stock clutch performance, the MDL Superior Kevlar/Steel Back Organic clutch delivers the balance of streetability and enhanced torque capacity that modified engines require. This isn't your typical organic clutch--the advanced Kevlar/steel backed facings provide significantly better heat resistance and clamp load strength compared to standard organic materials, while maintaining the smooth engagement characteristics enthusiasts expect from a daily driver.
The engineering advantage starts with the integrally bonded steel backing that prevents facing delamination under high temperatures and aggressive launches. The Kevlar fibers woven into the organic compound create a friction surface that grips progressively rather than grabbing, eliminating the harsh engagement common with full-race clutches. The nodular diaphragm pressure plate features specifically profiled clutch fingers designed for cable actuation systems, ensuring proper release geometry and consistent pedal feel throughout the clutch's service life.
Every MDL Superior clutch assembly is hand-built at our Caldwell, Idaho facility, where each component undergoes double-checking for dimensional accuracy and proper assembly before packaging. This quality control process ensures your clutch arrives ready for installation without the fitment issues or premature wear that plague mass-produced units. The sprung hub design absorbs drivetrain shock while maintaining precise torque transmission--critical for preserving synchronizers and preventing driveline vibration.
Designed specifically for 1999-2004 4.6L Cobra applications with 26-spline input shafts and the Ford 11-inch Metric 10mm bolt pattern. Rated at 450 ft-lb torque capacity, this clutch bridges the gap between stock replacement and full race applications, making it ideal for Cobras with intake, exhaust, and tune modifications that push power beyond factory limits. Made in the USA and backed by MDL's comprehensive 1-year warranty.
