kahmann Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 This is just a heads up for anyone tracking their Mustang, SGT, GT500, etc. Ford Racing now offers a clutch fluid upgrade from the cheesy plastic line that comes standard on all models.

slbgtsc Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Dang proud of that.... Wasn't trying to be snotty. I worked with Ron trying to diagnose our clutch issues as he and I have been through about 6-8 clutches combined while racing our cars. The hydraulic clutch system we have is the weak link when tracking the car or hot lapping it at the strip. The fluid in the line/slave unit boils and lets the clutch stay engaged which results in a short life span and lots of $$. The best fix so far IMO is this line and a slave unit that you can bleed externally, plus DOT 4 synthetic fluid that has a higher temp. The ZO6 Vette experiences similar issues. Just trying to save my brothers and sisters some $$$ based on my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kahmann Posted March 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 ^I think he just meant that since it's more expensive than FRPP list, they must be 'dang proud of' the clutch line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew LOL, my wife hissed when she walked by "my other girlfriend" as she puts it. We went to the Shelby Musuem etc a few weeks back and my 9 year old son told me I needed to buy a new GT 350. I told him I needed him to make sure and tell mom that we needed one. Everyone around laughed, except for my wife? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
