1979-85 Mustang 5.0L and 4.2L V8

We recommend against reinstalling the original size (10") clutch in these cars. The 1979 to 1985 V-8 Mustangs were equipped with 10" clutches from the factory. We recommend replacing the stock system with the upgraded McLeod 10.5" clutch/pressure plate system. Upgrading to the 10.5" clutch will require McLeod Flywheel part # 463100 or 563100, with the proper counterbalance, in place of the factory flywheel.

Besides having many more disk and pressure plate options, the 10.5" systems will provide more clamping force, lower pedal effort, and a much higher torque capacity than replacement 10" systems. Once the proper flywheel is in place, any of the clutch systems from the "1986-95" Application Table can be installed.
