I went with a Mcloed RXT twin disk with a 26 spline input shaft. The OEM flywheel is a mcloed so I am going to sent it back to Mcloed for a new friction plate and save money on that...

^ This for the win, without a doubt the softest clutch I have EVER felt in a mustang.

Will anything other than stock void the warranty?

No ^^^^Ford said they would put a clutch in for 2600 parts alone but they would warranty that part for 1 year i figure i could get a clutch and flywheel for less then a grand and take my Chances [ January 10, 2012, 09:24 PM: Message edited by: SantaClara_Cobra ]

What kind of clutch are they giving you for $2600? That's hella. I think the oem clutch it's self is bout $700. Alot of people say get a twin disk, or a spec 3.

Keep the stock flywheel. Ship it to McLeod and have them re-plate it.

That's what I've been saying. Our cars have a Mcloed aluminum flywheel from factory. Mine is going to mcloed for a new friction plate. Takes 3-5 days to get it back and It's practically new when they send it back...

Call up Tousley Ford for the flywheel, they have the best prices on OEM and aftermarket parts.

They do make one. But IMO If your spending 900 already on a clutch why not spend 300 more and have piece of mind when you floor it...
