[QUOTE="Tob, post: 12363657, member: 83412"] All good questions Terp. My understanding is that yes, the clutch issues (aside from TR6060 issues) were directly related to the flywheel. The original design was prone to warpage. There were quite a few owners that weren't used to the cera-metallic clutch and didn't like Ford's 'excuse' that the noises and actuation were normal. There was also a lack of lubrication on the input shaft splines that was addressed in the TSB. Anecdotally, the '07-'09 cera-metallic clutch can withstand more power than subsequent 'organic' clutches. I've never been able to obtain official torque figures but after 4 years or so, that would appear to be the argument. Unless I'm mistaken, you can no longer get the original clutch from Ford as it has been superseded by the later 'more user friendly' unit. I picked one up from an individual that got one from his dealer for warranty work but instead convinced the dealer to install an aftermarket unit.
