Ford Racing Clutch Kit
Having the best clutch installed between your auto's engine and transmission will mean a more dependable and reliable vehicle. That is why it is a must to select only the best clutch kit around. The clutch is a mechanism used for transmitting rotation. It can be engaged and disengaged. There are many different vehicle clutch designs, but most of them are based on one or more friction discs which are pressed tightly together or against a flywheel using springs. The friction material used in the clutch is similar to that used in brake shoes and brake pads, which is asbestos. However, clutches found in heavy-duty applications such as trucks and competition cars are made from ceramic because this material has a greatly increased friction coefficient. The spring pressure is released when the clutch pedal is depressed, thus either pushing or pulling the diaphragm of the pressure plate, releasing the plate and allowing it to rotate freely. A wet clutch is immersed in a cooling lubricating fluid, keeping its surfaces clean and giving it a smoother performance and a longer life. A dry clutch, on the other hand, is not bathed in fluid which robs it of some energy. The Ford Racing Clutch Kit features a unique clutch housing that is required for Tremec 5 Speed Transmission with a 351W. This particular type of clutch kit, which is specially-crafted for the Ford Mustang, may require a diaphragm type of clutch and will also fit 289/302/351 C engines. The part features a 40% greater capacity than the stock Mustang unit. Getting the clutch disc and pressure plate together in the Ford Racing Kits is a sure fire way of getting a perfect match. Some of these kits may also include the bearing or the alignment tool.
