[QUOTE="Dave07997S, post: 693636, member: 10915"] The problem is with the quadrant assembly and the auto adjust feature of the clutch. It doesn't keep the TOB tight against the pressure plate and it bounces around in there gouging the retainer. The 93-95 Mustang Cobras used a tapered TOB and a steel retainer on the front of the T5. When they went with the T45 for the99-01 cars and the T56 for the 03/04 cars they went back probably to save weight with a aluminium retainer and the old style TOB. This is not just a 03 problem with the Cobras. It affects the whole Mustang lineup dating back to 1985 other than the 93-95 Mustang Cobras. It was one of the main reasons I didn't get a 03/04 Cobra, as the TOB was replaced 3 times within 15Kmiles when I had my 98 Cobra. I went with a Steeda firewall adjuster and aluminium quadrant and never had the problem again. Dave. [/QUOTE]
