Any suggestions????

[99Elimin8r]

Ok so the coug is getting ready for a full revamp of the tranny. So far i have decided on getting an LSD, new shift cables and the FOCUS shift tower. But for the clutch, I am completely lost, I am not sure what to get. So I figured I would see if you guys had any suggestions. Everyday driver, I drive hard, so durability is a huge issue, there will be mild track use (eventually). I will probably go with the SVT flywheel. But I just need some suggestions as to what clutch I should go with. Any help is appreciated.

I had a thread on this a few weeks ago.

The SPEC stage 3+ is the strongest DRIVEABLE clutch, but it's HELLA PRICEY and it's probably more than you will ever need unless you go turbo/blower or built 3.0.

Spec stage 1 is a good solid upgraded daily driver clutch, and is basically equivalent to the SVT Contour clutch.

I went with the SVT, since it was OEM Ford, so you KNOW it will work flawlessly, and it's cheaper than the SPEC.

Thanks for the response, I have decided to go with a light upgrade to the 2.5, so nothing crazy performance wise. Where should I go for the SVT equipment? Ford Parts? or do you know of somewhere else?

Team Ford Parts. That's where I got the best deal.

[99Elimin8r]

is there an area on the site that I can order it from or should I call them direct?

Click here to order parts from TeamFord online.

For the SVT clutch kit, do a search for F7RZ-7L596-EA on the main page, use Ford as the make.

I started searching blind, and couldn't get any matches for the whole kit together. So I PM'ed Bill, and he send me that part number, which is the disc, pressure plate, throw-out bearing/slave cylinder, and alignment tool, all in one box. I didn't check, but I think it's about $236 or so before shipping, which is an AWESOME deal.

Will this kit work for the 2.0? One thing I've never figured out is if there is a difference between the 2.0 & 2.5 tranny

The 2.5 clutches are not compatible with the 2.0 Cougars.

But I am pretty sure you can use the 2.5's LSD for the 2.0. Mine was listed for a Focus, after all.

teamfordparts.com also sells a 2.0 clutch kit ...

pretty sure the only difference in the mtx75 between the V6 and the I4 are the bell housings (starter mounting location and bolt pattern) and the gear ratios.
