Clutch Presure Plate gear tooth forming missmatch US measures VS ZF main shaft measures

matgMember

Hi Team,
my rebuild 4907 GTS is comming along. Well more of the peace parts which need clarification.
Clutch
please ref my figure:
- The presure plate looks good and appears the normal 11" design
- The clutch is gone, thin and broken spring

Question:
NEED a new clutch but want to keep the preasure plate (the set F&S would be 440 USD in Europe)
ISSUE: on the clutch plate I got from Ford Mustang there is a gear tooth forming missmatch (see picture)
1) any experience in using the missmatch NEW US Clatch (see picture) I got???
2) where do I get an European Clutch/Mitnehmerscheibe??? for 11" Pressure Plate?

any other suggestions? ..Well, will stay with 3 finger Pressure Plate/Kupplung

TX for help Matthias

Dear Matthias, please do not try to cut corners and save money on the Clutch. It is a very unique and special part for the Pantera and exactly where you NOT should try to cut corners. Get the propper complete Clutch kit from one of the vendors and have a trouble free operation for many years to come. Check multiple threads on the issue and realize the hassle people are facing because they tried to do what you are considering. It is waste of time and money.

That's a mustang clutch with the extended bob-weights on the outside of the clutch housing.

Those can hit the ribs inside your bell housing either initially, or as the clutch wears.

Listen to Goodroc - he's right. Do some searching on this board, there's lots of information on this topic.

ok Team (and do not believe I am sloppy in ready the forum pages - but did not understand "Bob weight") ok will go for a F&S (Fichtel & Sachs) new set which got optimized by Mr Jäckel.

So the "3 horns" = "3 bob weights" will not stick out
