Description
Converting a Ford Y-block or Flathead V8 to a modern 5-speed transmission requires a clutch that matches the original engine's bolt pattern while accommodating the transmission's input shaft spline count. This Superior organic clutch set delivers exactly that combination: an 11" long pattern 3-finger pressure plate paired with a 26-spline, 1-1/8" diameter hub disc that mates directly with T5 and TKO series transmissions.
The organic-faced disc provides the smooth, progressive engagement characteristics street-driven builds demand. Unlike aggressive metallic facings that can be grabby at low speeds, organic material delivers a predictable pedal feel and linear torque transfer ideal for daily driving and spirited weekend use. At 300 ft-lb torque capacity, this clutch handles the output of stock and mildly modified Y-block and Flathead engines with margin to spare.
Every Superior clutch disc is hand-assembled at MDL's facility, allowing complete control over quality and tolerances. Each disc is double-checked for accuracy before shipping, ensuring ready-to-install precision right out of the box. The mechanical throwout bearing simplifies installation when paired with compatible bellhousings, eliminating the need for hydraulic conversion components.
This clutch set is engineered specifically for Ford Y-block and Flathead V8 applications requiring 11" long pattern pressure plates and 26-spline input shaft compatibility. Ford used various clutch patterns on these engines, and the 11" long pattern is critical for correct fitment. Made in the USA and backed by a 1-year warranty.
