Hey all, I want to provide a review of the parts I went with after my 'proudly made in Turkey' clutch put its outstanding craftsmanship on display. I had a very difficult time finding any review of ACT Clutch/Flywheel setups for the Mustang, at the very least I can provide one. I'm happy to...

When I made my post I didnt realize the 18-19s will auto rev-march. Does it still do its trick if you go out of sequence?

Dissenting opinion here. Do not skip gears. It's harder on all the equipment. Blip it into 5th then again down into 4th. You are asking the synchros to do smaller velocity changes and spreading that over two synchros. As far as muscle memory goes it's easier to nail a regular rev-matched...

Got the pressure plate off. Torque on the bolts was all over the place. Looks like the classic clutch disk failure mode. Pressure plate side is exploded. Flywheel side is completely intact and has some meat on it. I'll post up better pictures of the flywheel once I've got it out. FYI whatever...

Get things apart today and check out the first thing I find. Both bolts for the slave cylinder are loose. Really great job here Ford.

I get a thud when engaging first right after depressing the clutch (transmission is still spinning). I've heard it in other manual cars but this one is more pronounced. I'm not worried about it. I would have some extremely harsh and impolite words for a dealer giving me grief over a shifter...

The 18+ switched to a twin disk. It makes me suspect that Ford knows the clutch in the 15-17s doesn't cut it but also doesn't want to pay the price for being honest. Twin disks offer you the ability to have lots higher torque holding, slower wear (double the surface area) and a light pedal. I...

Thanks! I think if I can get them started I can fish up enough extensions and universal joints to get them torqued to spec. What product are you talking about?

Do you have any advice for getting the top transmission bolts back in? While I was taking them out yesterday I realized I had no idea how I was going to get them back in their homes. We are supposed to get some water from the sky here in Phoenix so I am in a holding pattern until that clears. I...

When's the next one?

How many miles have you got on your car?

I have a 2015 26k miles GT Track Pack, FRPP2. Bought it about three months ago. I have been driving all manual transmission cars for 16 years now and this is my first clutch failure. Similar to what others have experienced here. Shifting near red line, push in clutch, hear a pop and can't...
