Sweet, any idea on stages and torque ratings? Possibly pricing? Thanks man! Hope your wife likes it. E-

I thought spec already offers a whole line of clutches for the svt focus.... ?

I only went with Clutchmasters because I could get a discount on it.

 

[LEE93COBRA]

Apparently not. Buddy of mine that is an engineer there said they would need the car because they wanted to get in the market.

Elliott, don't know about the stages yet. I have no details on what they are planning on doing. As I found out the details I'll let you guys know

There are Spec clutches available for the Getrag transmission of the SVT focus..
I'm not sure if they offer any for the MTX75 transmission in the regular focus.

I have a Spec Stg 3 clutch and a Spec (rebadged fidanza) flywheel in my car right now...

Interesting. Our SVTF is just used for a DD and is still stock so I have not kept up with the performance market on them. I'll call him and see what they are planning on doing.

EDIT. Here is what he told me

All SVT focus clutches are discontinued...including parts to ours! Nobody has them and we get inquiries every day.

That being said...we need a guinnea pig.

Not sure on the details, but if we could have the car, or even come take a look, we are wanting to design a new clutch/flywheel package for them before the OE or other companies try to get the dried-up market. We would get it done and you guys would have the first one. And it would be replacable...they are not even warrantying them right now because Ford cannot get the replacement Ford Part!!! It is from LUK brand.

EDIT. Here is what he told me

This is most likely due to the Ford TSB of the rattling OEM clutch on the SVT... The TSB clutch and Flywheel is significantly beefier than the original equipment, so much so that the clutches and flywheels are not interchangable (OEM with the TSB one)...


This is the problem with the OEM unit... the pressure plate breaks under any significant power increase or just randomly...

UltraRev.com has a whole line up of Spec clutches for the SVTF and MTX75

if you read my quote from Spec you will see that if a company doesn't have it on the shelf they cannot get it now

they're probably just redesigning them according to the new design by Ford ..
