How many are still on stock clutch at this rpm? Can anything be done to help them live longer line upgrading the fluid line? Or it’s just a matter of time before boom lol

13k miles on mine. Over 70 1/4 mile passes, with shifts happening at or above 7500rpm. Only mod to the transmission is my Barton shifter.

34k on my stock clutch, 25k was boosted. It's actually been great on my daily with occasional trips to 8k over the course of 2 years. I just recently smoked the clutch for the first time getting on it. A little road rage, but I went WOT in 1st through 3rd. 1st and second gear was all wheel spin, 3rd was all clutch. It's still engaging fine, but this is all the reason to upgrade. I have a mantic twin disc coming in a few days.
I feel like the longevity came from not using advance trac, letting wheelspin happen rather than let the car apply brakes when I go sideways.

Stock clutches are hit or miss from Ford. Some fail almost immediately and some you can really thrash.

Just hit 62k and I can feel a sloppiness that wasn't there before. I feel like clutch won't last much longer. All transmission and engine components are bone stock, but I have done my fair share of track days and just ringing out the engine.

I hope I can get another 3-4 months out of it, which will be another 6-8k miles. I'm gonna baby it until it goes.

Yea it's a hit or miss and varies depending on how someone drives too. My car has ~20K miles and I've been boosted since ~13k miles. My car revs to 8200 rpms as well and I've made 6-7 passes in the 1/2 mile as well. So far so good, but I do have a clutch ready to go in just in case.

My stock clutch went boom at 37K miles. I had the gt350 intake manifold on their for about 10k shifting at 7500-7800 and I constantly felt it slipping. Replaced with exedy mach 500 and light weight flywheel and couldn't be happier.

Just had my Clutch let go after a track day at VIR.
Ford PP2 added end of last year, now changing at 7k+ revs as well as downshifting through corners.

Dropped the transmission last night to find Engine side clutch plate completely disintegrated, Slave and Throw out also screwed.

Exedy Mach500 and lightened Flywheel now installed. First fire-up this evening - Fingers crossed
Also changed Clutch line for Steeda Braided and the feed hose to Master from reservoir.

Did anyone have Error codes or a reprogram requirement after a new clutch install..?

I'm pretty sure my clutch was slipping after nailing 2nd gear shift last time I had the car out. When I got home I caught a diff. I'm debating trying to get it fixed under warranty or just upgrade to something better.

You will need to perform Crank Relearn.

That’s what I thought.. waiting for a callback from Ford service.
I also have the PP2 tune, put on by local ASE mechanic.

I guess there will be some playing around between the 2 for reverting to stock tune then back to Ford performance tune...

No issues with my stock clutch yet...I have ~16k miles and 16 HPDE days. I just purchased the Exedy Hyper Single to replace as I figure the factory clutch won't last too much longer with 7,800+ rpm shifts (GT350 IM)
