rsfdiver Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Dealer Hub City Ford Lafayette said 3500 to replace clutch I showed them the tsb deal car still on rack 2 weeks standing by Ford calls em back supposedly and says tough luck. Started slipping at 15000 thought it might just be the tires letting loose 22k now original tires with wear left, original brake pads for 6oo bucks they will put in a spec twin disk if I buy it another 100 bucks to install short throw shifter Just talked to Breax Bridge transmission and I beleive i am going to have fthem pick it up and do the swap The dealer isn't gunna put another scratch on my car again Super twin SFG5PT or RAM Model: 90-2220? And am looking for a short throw shifter and cool knob to go with it looking for advice signed Livid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldgus Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 cant help on the clutch decision, but if you're swapping shifters I would recommend an MGW. Best shifter I've ever used - hands down. And they have great , um, knobs... MGW shifters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springer Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Go with the Ram twin disc. McLeod has nothing on the Ram - although it is a nice clutch also. After my research, and looking at both of these fine clutches, I went with the Ram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbreedgt500 Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 I went with the Mcleod RXT and the MGW shifter and installed them myself. So much better than stock! When you see the stock up against the Mcleod, you'll wonder why Ford went with such a whimpy clutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsfdiver Posted August 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 The transmission shop won't put it back together if the dealer took it apart. The RXT was accidentally shipped ground so another was sent next day. I am going to have to send one back now. I brought all the parts to the dealer and it looks like they are going to put it back together with the new parts. RXT, KR shifter, Black Ford Racing stick and ball. Around 2500 bucks for tear down Parts and install. Better than the first quote of $3500 to $4000 when first brought it in thinking TSB. Hope they do a good job...

When you see the stock up against the Mcleod, you'll wonder why Ford went with such a whimpy clutch. Nice shifter but ONLY $350.00 (plus shipping and handling) with Obomanomics and the current ban on drilling for our own oil I am on a budget and am pushing it with trying to get the dealer to install the stuff as it is. The Ford Racing Box gave them a little confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
