Going to agree with UPRSteve, I wouldnt mix match things with Twin Disc Clutches. They are very sensitive and if you have a problem, both companies will wash there hands of the issues since you did not follow their recommendations. Once you are there invest in a shifter also.

If you follow his IG, this wouldn't surprise you.
I actually do follow his instagram ;). I'm surprised with as many car friends as he has that not one of them has a car they could of taught him stick on before he got his mustang. I learned stick on my old stage 2 wrx and put 50k miles with a 60 mile commute before the clutch started slightly slipping, but hey that's just me what do I know. Maybe he's granny shifting not double clutch'n like he should and now he and the mad scientist have to tear apart his transmission. He owes me a 10 second car.

Yea I wish I had the chance to practice a little bit more before I had received the car but in the end I'm not to worried about it because this just gives me a chance to prepare for my Forced Induction setup in the future.

Also switched it up and ordering the McLeod Flywheel through UPRSteve. Thanks guys! :headbang:

Not at all actually. They pulled the clutch out of the transmission and it was in multiple pieces. Tech says he never seen anything like that so I think the clutch was faulty from the factory but I could be totally wrong. Hopefully they cover it.

Hopefully it was just a random failure, and not a sign of these clutches being bad.

I believe if Ford covers it'll only be with stock replacement parts, aftermarket you're on your own.

Say whattttt! Clutch on its last leg at only 16k miles?? I taught my wife to drive stick in this Mustang in 30min. You can't possibly be that bad of a driver lol. I had Ford replace a clutch under warranty on one of my previous Stang's, so it is possible it was faulty! Good luck man.

Nah I'm not that bad lol [emoji23][emoji23]. I learned quickly. The clutch came apart in pieces once the tech opened up the transmission so the clutch was most definitely faulty. I should find out a final verdict tomorrow.
