yes you can get a OEM SVT clutch kit for about $260 from teamfordparts.com.


as stated the labor if not doing it yourself is killer, its a 9 hour book job ... I have helped do one in less that 6 hours, and that was with no hang ups.

9 hours wow thats nuts, why so long?

early shop manuals tell you to drop the whole subframe/engine/trans together ... then to pull the engine and trans and then the trans ...

the later manuals I believe tell one to pull the whole enigne/trans together ...

9hrs....damn that sucks. That's almost $800 in labor! I know my clutch is pretty well worn, hopefully it'll last me atleast a year or two before it goes out. I do all the work on my stang, but i don't know how I feel about doing a clutch on this car.

It's really not as bad as you'd think I've had the motor/trans out of mine twice in the last few months to do mods. Looks really intimidating but it's not all that bad.

changing the clutch isn't to bad. here is a quick over view

remove battery tray
remove axles
drop subframe (doesn't have to come all the way out)
remove fuel/clutch/cable etc
unbolt and remove mtx through driver wheel well
replace clutch ...

install is the reverse

depending on where you are located you could find a local CEG member that has done this work before and could help
