RogerS Posted December 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 We are testing a dual disc set up for the 5.0 that is a proto type unit under development for some time. This is being tested under the most trying conditions to determine durability. We should have the end results in our hands Mid-Feb. if all goes well.

Roger Internally isn't this called the Gary Patterson test? You know a car has a strong clutch if Gary returns the car with the clutch still functional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which poor soul is tasked with having to drive the c**p out of a car under conditions that stress a clutch. It must be brutal having to drive a car fast and dumping the clutch off starts and stuff, day after day. I'm sure noone wants the job. If you're looking for someone give me a call. I'm sure the salary is low. I won't pay any more than $1500 per week. An interesting article for next year's magazine would be your testing process for parts like this, from development of the test plan through execution, and ongoing testing. I might even be willing to write it (and take the pictures). Happy Holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling a TSB will be out soon. BROADCAST MESSAGE 2756 - 2011 MUSTANG - MT82 COLD SHIFT EFFORT SOME 2011 MUSTANG VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A MT82 6-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION MAY EXHIBIT INCREASED SHIFT EFFORTS IN COLD AMBIENT TEMPERATURES. THIS IS USUALLY MOST NOTICEABLE IN 1ST AND 2ND GEARS BUT MAY ALSO BE NOTICED IN 3RD THROUGH 6TH GEARS. ENGINEERING IS INVESTIGATING THIS CONCERN AND NO REPAIRS ARE RECOMMENDED AT THIS TIME. THE USE OF FRICTION MODIFIERS OR OTHER FLUID ADDITIVES IS NOT RECOMMENDED SINCE ALTHOUGH THEY MAY PROVIDE SOME IMMEDIATE IMPROVEMENT IN COLD SHIFT EFFORT, THEY ARE LIKELY TO RESULT IN LONG TERM DEGRADATION OF THE SYNCHRONIZERS.

RogerS Posted January 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Billet Aluminum Flywheel, dual disc clutch it is somewhat lighter. We will need to weigh both to see actual difference if any. Tony, Yes we can do this. Dubbs, Sorry, didn't have these ready at the time your car was done. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
