Out with 2010 Clutch in with RXT+MGW+Pics

Pics added Today


Just took my 2010 clutch out and replaced it with the Mcleod RXT( thanks Jared for the deal and quick ship). The 2010 was in there for less than 2 months after the TSB. So far so good. The RXT feels great and shifts smooth as silk. Granted I only put 25 miles on it. Also put the MGW shifter in with the matching shifter ball (thanks George for all the help it's what you said it was). Vista Blue with white strips. Looks and feels great :banana: Before you ask I took the 2010 clucth out because while its all right for going to church on Sunday I can never pass up a burnout while I'm sitting next to a ricer with a lawnmower muffler and revving to 8000 RPM. The 2010 clutch looks pretty bad for only 1800 miles and smelled to high heaven after a burnout. Will post up pics of the shifter and 2010 clutch after I go out and put some breakin miles on my new setup :beer:

How much HP/TQ were you making? Around 550?

Wondering because I'm halfway kinda sorta clutch shopping.

 

[bpmurr]

1800 miles and it already looked bad? Mine started to give out at 8000ish and was replaced at 9400. I'm interested in seeing your pics.

589 hp 561 tq on the mustang.

Sweet.

I just saw you had a ported setup in your sig.

Right now I plan on stopping a good 50hp or so shy of where you are. Was hoping the stock '10 might hold up, but keep getting various reports like the two of you saying it gives out.

supposedly the 2010 clutch is used on the zr1 and viper,

If so, I have no idea why it would not be good to go even modded

Never said it wasn't good to go --------to church. :shrug:

 

[svt boost]

how did you get the shifter already? Was it released?

 

[crazy4life]

George helped me out on that. Sent me the shifter without the install instructions because I put a new tranny in and wanted to put the shifter in with the new tranny. A hell of a lot easier. Thanks George for getting it to me on time. Think George said instructions should be ready in a week or two.

Off topic: How do you like the Koni Yellows?

Love the Koni yellows fully adjustable at all 4 corners. Perfect for the way I use the car. Got them from Sam Strano and he is a 5 time autox champion. Must know something about suspensions.

Here are the pics for the MGW Shifter and the 2010 clutch. Clutch has 1800 miles and 3 burnouts.

Flywheel

The clutch doesn't look bad, seems like most of the flywheel isn't even broken in.

Don't know. All I know is I did'nt like it. When I do a burnout I like to smell rubber and not the overpowering stench of the clutch. I know some people who don't drive their car over the speed limit and have never burned rubber in their life. Seems like it would be a good clutch for them. It was definitly better than the old clutch just not for me.

I don't know man, I beat the piss out of my car on the street and so far I like the 2010 clutch better than the Spec but the 2010 is not perfect either.

Mcleod next perhaps but that better not be for awhile, I can't afford another $3k clutch bill

What's wrong with the '10? :shrug:
