Clutch question for the knowledgeable

[ivan12]

I just picked up a TKO600 tranny that my buddy took off his 97 GT (4.6) he sold it to me with a 26 spline centerforce clutch and aluminum flywheel. Does anyone know for sure if the clutch will work on my 95 GT (5.0)?

Doesn't it depends on what the surface area of the flywheel is? 10.5" right... I dont see it not bolting up to 95 GT with 26 spline transmission.

Correct, sir!


Edit: IIRC I had to use a clutch fork from a fox body to put my Tremec in. You may also have to flip (180*) the transmission crossmember and shim the mount in order the get it to sit straight. I experienced a lot of vibrations before I did the crossmember trick. There is a write-up on this somewhere, I will look for it.

I read about the flipping of the crossmember and I bought a 5.0 Tremec bellhousing with the fox clutch fork already on the corral. I hope the clutch works otherwise I'm gonna need a new clutch

probably have to swap the bell housing.

not 100% sure on the bolt pattern on the flywheel.

Definetly a different bell but I already have that on the way. I'd like to know for sure wether or not the clutch coming out of the 4.6 will work with a 5.0 flywheel though
