Description
Swapping a modern TREMEC into a classic Ford often creates a bolt pattern mismatch headache - your flywheel may be drilled for one pressure plate style while your preferred clutch requires another. This Superior clutch set solves that problem with a dual-pattern diaphragm pressure plate machined to accept both the 3-3/8" Ford 11" Long pattern and the 12-3/8" Ford diaphragm pattern. That means one pressure plate works with either flywheel configuration, eliminating guesswork and reducing the chance of ordering the wrong parts.
The steel-backed organic disc delivers the smooth engagement characteristics street drivers demand while providing superior burst strength compared to standard organic facings. Superior Clutches hand-builds every disc in-house, carefully setting the marcel and double-riveting the assembly for consistent pedal feel and long service life. The sprung hub absorbs drivetrain shock and reduces gear rattle at idle - exactly what you want in a car that sees both spirited backroads and rush-hour traffic.
This kit ships with a hydraulic release bearing, making it ready for modern hydraulic clutch actuation systems without additional components. Rated at 400 ft-lb torque capacity, it handles mild to moderate performance builds without the grabby engagement of full-race clutches. Superior Clutches has been building clutches for over 30 years, and they back this kit with a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
Note: Throwout and pilot bearings are NOT included with this kit and must be purchased separately based on your specific application. [VERIFY: "comes_with" field lists pilot bushing but description states it is not included - confirm kit contents]
