Description
The 2003-2004 Terminator Cobra arrived from the factory with 390 hp and 390 lb-ft of torque from its supercharged 4.6L DOHC V8 - and most owners don't leave it there. Once you start adding boost or supporting modifications, the stock clutch becomes the weak link. This Superior Series steel-backed organic clutch kit delivers 400 ft-lb of holding capacity while preserving the smooth, progressive engagement characteristics that make a Terminator livable on the street.
The steel backing plate behind the organic friction material provides two key advantages over standard organic discs: increased structural rigidity under high clamp loads and better heat dissipation during aggressive driving. The result is longer clutch life without the harsh engagement or chatter that comes with full-metallic or ceramic facings. The nodular iron diaphragm pressure plate uses Ford's Metric 10mm bolt pattern and features clutch fingers specifically profiled for cable release operation, ensuring consistent pedal feel and proper throwout bearing geometry.
Every Superior clutch disc is hand-assembled at MDL's facility, where technicians verify spring tension, rivet placement, and balance before shipping. The 11-inch disc diameter provides ample surface area for smooth torque transfer, and the kit includes a cable-style throwout bearing, pilot bearing, and alignment tool - everything needed for a complete installation. This kit is designed for Terminator Cobra owners who want a clutch upgrade that handles bolt-on power levels while maintaining daily-driver manners.
Fits 2003-2004 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra with cable clutch actuation. Made in the USA and backed by a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
