MT82 3rd and 4th Gear Failure

[NGOT8R]

75,000 miles. I like the idea of replacing the clutch now, but I don't want to add NVH.

At the very least, you can replace it with another factory one For peace of mind, but there are better options out there that may be the same in price or even cheaper. If you do, be sure and change your space cylinder too. At 75K it is without question a smart move to change the clutch.

I installed a Mcleod RXT twin ceramic disc clutch with an aluminum flywheel at a cost of $1330.00 (parts) and it isn't any harder to operate than the stock clutch was no vibration, and I do hear a tiny bit of noise if I am standing outside of the car on the driver's side and the car is running when cold. The clutch preforms great. I also replaced the pilot bearing and the hydraulic clutch line with the Mcleod stainless braided line. That was another $70.00. I have zero complaints with this set up. I can let the clutch out without giving any gas and it (on a flat surface) just goes. It should last longer than the stock clutch.

P.S. I did the slave cylinder as well. $70.00 cost

What vendor would be the best to order from? Does someone sell a kit that incudes all needed parts at a great price?

I got the best price for the clutch off E-bay from (WCA performance) and the slave cylinder also from E-bay the seller was (CJ Pony parts) and correction to that price for the slave cylinder, it was NOT $70.00 it was $170.00. I bought the piolet bearing and the flywheel bolts right from Ford $66.00 dollars. I have found that if you try to get a package that includes everything it costs more. They upcharge for putting the kit together for you.
