[QUOTE="JPB, post: 8473638, member: 75009"] It is really logical to upgrade the input shaft to a 26 spline input shaft for a couple of reasons. First, financially it is cheaper in the long run to go ahead and do it. When you add substantial power to your Stang you will need to upgrade the clutch. It would suck to take the cheap route and buy a 10 spline clutch only to go out and break the input shaft. Then you are faced with either buying another 10 spline input shaft that you know you are likely going to break again so you can use your $300-$500 clutch you just bought. Or you can upgrade your input shaft to a 26 spline input shaft making your new clutch nothing more than a paperweight to you. Then you'll have to shell out another $300-$500 for another clutch. Secondly, unless you just enjoy pulling the T-56 out :xpl: you should upgrade the input shaft when you change the clutch. I would do it in this order. Upgrade the input shaft at your next clutch change or upgrade the clutch if you break the input shaft. Also Evit Twins makes a great point...a lot of people have broken the 10 spline shafts. By design the 10 spline is inferior to the 26 in more ways than just the number of splines cut into it. The cuts in the 10 spline shaft are cut much deeper into the center of the shaft than the 26 allowing the teeth to flex quite a bit more. Your decision your money. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
