Description
When you're building a Ford-powered street machine with a hydraulic clutch release, you need a clutch kit that's engineered for the task - not adapted from a mechanical linkage setup. This Superior steel back organic clutch set delivers exactly that: a diaphragm pressure plate with lower lever height geometry specifically designed for hydraulic throwout bearings, paired with a steel-backed organic disk built in-house to MDL's exacting standards.
The steel-backed organic facings solve a common problem with high-performance organic clutches: disk separation under repeated hard use. By bonding the organic friction material to a steel backing plate, the Superior disk maintains its integrity through thousands of engagement cycles while delivering the smooth, progressive engagement that makes organic clutches ideal for street driving. The sprung hub absorbs drivetrain shock for quieter operation and longer component life.
The 12-5/8 inch equidistant bolt pattern is shared across Ford, GM, and select Mopar applications, making this kit a versatile choice for engine swaps and performance builds. Whether you're running a classic Ford small-block, a big-block, or dropping a GM LS into your Mustang, the 12-5/8 EQ pattern accommodates a wide range of combinations. The 10-spline hub with 1-1/16 inch bore matches Ford 4-speed toploader and T5 input shafts.
Rated at 400 lb-ft torque capacity, this clutch handles serious street performance without the harsh engagement characteristics of ceramic or metallic facings. Every Superior clutch disk is hand-assembled and double-checked before shipping, backed by a 1-year free-from-defect warranty and lifetime tech support from the drivetrain experts at MDL. Made in the USA.
