Reply to ""locked" clutch?"

"The clutch in a Pantera IS NOT A MUSTANG CLUTCH. It is unique to the Pantera. That's why it's all by itself in the parts books."

Perhaps this above mentioned is true and I am no engineer and only sharing my experiences.

Everyone has a opinion and in my case I am using a Centerforce Pantera specific flywheel and pressure plate. The Mustang disk I have been running for 10+ years works great for me with those Centerforce components. I don't race my car and use it for pleasure only. Also I ran the ideal by Bob and Don Byers from Precision Proformance before I did this and they inspected my pressure plate and disk. Since they are or were Centerforce dealers back then I thought they could get me the disk. Centerforce would not sell Bob just a new disk to sell me and Don said the magic in the Centerforce Clutch is the pressure plate and they said go ahead and try the Mustang disk and to report back.

I installed the clutch, drove it to Don and he checked the free play adjustment and away I went.
