That's because, generally speaking, most people buy a whole kit and not just a disc.

Good thread. The clutches will interchange. It's the same clutch even if you put a T56 in there. Just need a 26-spline as mentioned.

What was the problem you had with the G-Force Shankin'??

outpit shaft broke if I remember correctly and it was the upgraded piece.

G-Force wouldn't honor their warranty

yes the shaft broke and you could tell that the metal was not treated properly.trans was assembled by professionals and they basically said for jeff to screw off...we bought a $800 used tko and went low 10's on it two weeks later at fun ford 04
