I changed it because it came as a package deal which is less of a hassle to assemble with all the correct (new) hardware. As long as the clutch plate bolts to the stock fly wheel you should be OK but I would definitely have the OEM flywheel re-surfaced because the clutch disc will never seat...

It looks like a big job for such a small part and working under the dash is a major PIA.Tim

I use "lemon scented" furniture polish (generic brand $1.50) which has bees wax in it which is spayed onto the rear quarter panels (its clear) before the drag race starts and I wipe it off the next day with zero scrubbing because the tire rubber/dirt cannot stick to it. The added benefit is my...

Finally got to the "misfire monitor neutral profile correction" procedure finished. It was successfully completed and the car seems to be running smooth again. I will take it out for a test drive this weekend to see how the new clutch is going to perform. No more fault codes except the "skip...

Yes and the problem is no one can tell you if their cheap scanner will perform a crank relearn except the high end scanners. I bought a Bosch 3925 Diagnostic Scan Tool to perform this task and hopefully more changes like disabling the TPMS and top end speed limit.Tim

I forgot to mention I replaced the pulse ring with a Ford Performance Cobra Jet high RPM part and now I have the dreaded "check engine light" and the car runs really bad (misses). The two rings looked identical but I did not measure the OD which must be a little different. I guess I will have to...

No really big glazed spots. Look at the movie attached as the disc can move a lot with the plastic bushing. (Note: can't attach movie) If the disc spins off center just slightly it will not let the transmission slow down for proper shift engagement.

I got the transmission back in last night and what a difference it makes to have the transmission securely fasted to the transmission jack's cradle. It also does not hurt that the overall height of the new clutch is about 3/4" shorter than the OEM giving me more wiggle room to fit the bell...

I added a Shelby clutch reservoir and and was not too impressed with the finish. The metal bracket was cut out with a laser and powder coated but they did not bother to remove the burrs that the laser cutting left behind and powder coated over top of the burrs. It fit very well though. I added a...

I found an issue with the vent tube on top of the transmission and I believe someone on this site has brought up this issue before. The hose that attaches to the vent's check valve is dry rotted and actually fell off but got wedged in under a wire harness so I did not lose it going down the...

The clutch disc has a plastic bushing in it and this is the reason I can't shift above 6k? I have never seen a clutch with plastic components....and if you don't believe this transmission is made in china I have the sticker to prove it. Note: the clutch is made in Turkey.

The transmission's bell housing needs more room to move back to allow it to clear the clutch than there is actual space available. The engine will only tilt back so far before it hits the Boss intake manifold so maybe the factory manual, which I have not read fully yet, requires the manifold to...

I finally got some time to replace/upgrade the clutch in my Boss 302 and it was a little more difficult than the older cars I am used to working on. I had a few surprises that I can pass on that I have learned the hard way. I will try to document some of the issues I encountered along the way...

Added new Shelby clutch reservoir and installing MGW shifter and Quarter Master single disk clutch.Tim
