[QUOTE="LSWon00, post: 11542955, member: 49493"] So my basically stock 2007 GT500 just started exhibiting signs of clutch slip. I've poured over all the article on the flywheel warping and causing synchro failure. I pulled the TSB up on AllData and did the test procedure to see if the synchros are bad and they're not. That being said[B] my plan is to use the factory clutch[/B] as I plan on keeping the car mostly stock as it is. I know there's many here who will say get an aftermarket setup, but [B]I prefer to go OEM[/B] on this car. I have read on this and other Shelby forums that the 2010+ clutch design is superior to the 2007 design and to use the 2010+ when installing a factory replacement. I contacted my Ford parts dealer and received prices on the 2007 clutch kit ($1083.79) and the 2010 clutch kit ($545.88). Those of you who have installed a 2010+ clutch in a 2007-09 car what differences are there? The Ford Parts guy couldn't tell me a difference. The kit includes the clutch and flywheel I'm also going to change the slave cylinder. [B]Those of you with experience[/B] with doing this swap and install please provide your input as to what's different and what additional parts (i.e. gaskets, bolts, misc.) I should have on hand, as well as any tips or tricks to make the job easier (i.e. F-body T-56 you unbolt the trans case from the bellhousing and then unbolt the bellhousing from the engine). Thank you in advance for your information and help. ~Brad [/QUOTE]
