Anyone know what a spline is??? I was looking at clutches before i buy it and it said choose 10 spline or 26 spline??? Idk what is that?? Lol any info would be great would a 10 spline be fine on a 99 cobra stock tranny?
Another question about clutches.... Need input

That is the part that the Clutch sits on. Its called an Input shaft. The Splines are the cuts or teeth on it (For lack of better words). The 10 Spline is stock (Some say they are weak But I have the stock on running 10.27's) and the 26 are the ones that are stronger.
This is a picture of a broken one.

Splines are kinda like a bolt head with groves instead of a hex pattern. Here's a pic of some axles that have splines http://www.fourgeartrans.com/db2/00122/fourgeartrans.com/_uimages/DCP00608.jpg and http://www.kevinstang.com/3ncp.jpg see the groves in them? That's where they insert into the rear end. For your clutch the splines are on the drive shaft and it's the same thing. Check out Mustang Parts & Performance - American Muscle for a clutch, they wont steer you wrong. I would recommend the Spec 2+ and an aluminum flywheel. You will more than likely need to resurface the flywheel anyway so you might as well buy a new one and better one...it will save you money later on.

If you have a stock 3550, 3650 or t-56 you need a 10-spline clutch.
If you input shaft was or is upgraded to a 26-spline then you would need a 26 spline clutch.
