2013 Mustang GT Clutch Replacement

[04SVT_COBRA]

Hey guys,

Hoping you can help me out. My dad needs to replace his clutch in his Mustang and wants something lighter than the stock feel. He has some leg/hip issues so he wants something a little easier on his leg. Can anyone recommend a clutch that may fit the bill?

What type of driving does he do and is the car modded? What type of tire is being used?

Car is basically stock except exhaust, and he has Pilot Sports on the car. He drives about 40-50 miles a day, mostly highway.

I just installed an RXT and the pedal feel is noticeably lighter than the OEM pedal was in my 2012.

While the RXT and even the RST have very nice pedals, those are way over kill for a stock car that does mainly highway driving. If he's not beating the shit out of the car, I would recommend the McLeod Street Pro clutch kit.

Okay thank you, my dad is 74 years old and he drives it like a Prius so that may be best.

Open for any more input or suggestions though!

Actually, disregard my last post! After consulting with McLeod a little more, they recommended the RST twin disc as it has the lightest pedal of all their clutches (The Street Pro will be same as stock) and will offer smooth driveability still. I considered it over kill because it's rated to 800 hp, but this is the clutch McLeod recommends for your dad.

Thank you very much, is that something you sell? If so I will have my dad contact you

Yes, you'll want to change the flywheel to get the most service life and least noise. I recommend the kit with the steel flywheel from the links your provided!
