An oem Ford clutch cable is about $90, a Ford racing adjustable cable is half that. Is it really worth spending that much?

That's the same price I saw, the motorcraft cable was almost $90... aside from that, I found someone selling a clutch assembly with flywheel, clutch fork off an 03 cobra with 9,000 miles & he's willing to take $80. I'm thinking that would b a good but for the flywheel by itself. Yay or nay?

How much did it cost to have it resurfaced?

I don't know if I should get the cheaper, but new, clutch & flywheel or just a new clutch and have my flywheel resurfaced or a used 11" flywheel. Decisions decisions... I have a headache lol

don't recall the price to resurface, but shouldn't be much.

DKblue98GT · Mar 8, 2017

If you get the used flywheel I would definitely get it resurfaced. I personally would not use a used clutch but people do it all the time. You don't want to have to go back in there anytime soon. The 11" upgrade is a good idea if you ever plan to add power to the motor.

I am installing a new clutch right now because of a rear main seal leak and some TO bearing noise. The clutch in the car isn't very worn and the flywheel still looks good but I am doing the 11" upgrade with an Exedy lightened flywheel and Mach 400 clutch.

The firewall adjuster and quadrant kit make it so you can easily adjust your clutch. The factory set up is ready hard to deal with and you can't set the point of engagement where you want it.

When I got my car about a year ago I could barely drive it until I installed the adjuster.

I had the opposite experience. when mine got bad, which by the way, is usually due to the plastic or vinyl sheath around the cable collapsing due to the heat, I could barely press it in. I had the adjustable cable and an aftermarket hydrant. went back to both stock cable and hydrant and it feels much better than it ever did.

The key is the ford cable. aftermarket cables have cheap housings that deteriorate and make it so the cable won't run smoothly.

over time, they all deteriorate due to the heat, the Ford ones last longer than the aftermarket ones.

So I picked up the used flywheel today, the guy gave me a new spec pilot bearing & a new National t.o bearing along with the clutch fork, pivot stud, clutch & pressure plate from the 03 cobra. I probably won't use the stuff but I can if I decide to. I also ordered a ford clutch cable & Steeda quadrant & firewall adjuster. Next week I have some things to order from A.M., I think I'm going to order a new driveshaft at the same time.

Nice. If you are going to use the 11" clutch make sure you get the right pressure plate bolts. the 11" uses bigger bolts than the 10.5". Ask me how I know...

collinselectric5 · Mar 13, 2017

Ok, I did not know that. I was gonna order new flywheel bolts too but didn't notice pressure plate bolts specific to the size

Me either, I went to put my new clutch in this weekend but could not find any bolts in town. I ordered ARP bolts from Summit...

collinselectric5 · Mar 14, 2017

I'll definitely b getting new bolts, are there any specialty tools I'll need? I saw that I would need a slide hammer and pilot bearing removal toll. I have all the sockets, extensions, wrenches I should need. Hopefully it gets warm enough in the next couple weeks to work on it.
