Description
Finding the correct clutch for a Y-Block Ford with a big-input transmission swap can be a nightmare of mismatched spline counts and wrong pilot bearing sizes. This Superior series clutch kit solves that problem with the correct 1-3/8-inch 10-spline disk and 0.670-inch pilot bearing specifically sized for Y-Block applications - components you won't find in generic parts-store kits.
MDL builds every Superior clutch disk by hand in-house, ensuring each component meets exacting tolerances before shipping. The organic friction material provides excellent bite without the harshness of metallic facings, making it ideal for street driving, weekend cruising, and spirited backroad sessions. The diaphragm pressure plate delivers consistent clamping force across the RPM range with a progressive pedal feel that won't fatigue your left leg in traffic.
The sprung hub design is critical for transmission longevity - it absorbs the shock loads that occur during aggressive clutch dumps and hard shifts, protecting synchronizers and reducing gear rattle at idle. With a 300 ft-lb torque capacity, this kit handles stock and mildly modified Y-Block engines with confidence. The 11-inch long pattern bolt configuration matches factory Y-Block flywheels, so there's no adapter plate or custom drilling required.
This kit is configured for mechanical clutch release systems and includes the throw-out bearing. Whether you're freshening up a tired drivetrain or completing a transmission swap in your '54-'64 Ford or Mercury, this Superior clutch kit delivers OE-quality engagement with improved durability. Made in the USA.
