you are looking at at least $500 for a USED tranny

Cost-wise, it cost me about 60 for the flywheel resurface (found out that it was a new flywheel when I bought the car new, why they didn't do the rear-main then is beyond me), ~30 for a pilot bearing and ~55 for the throwout (these are from DaSilva, just Ford parts), ~25 for a rear-main, $225CDN (was 150 American) for the CenterForce Dual Friction delivered to my door and then it took way too damn long to do it. Also did Aluminum driveshaft and a new yoke at the time too, but I won't include them in the costs.
So, total cost was $395.00 so yes, it was less than a new tranny, but it was also an e-bay deal, so if it was a new DF setup, it would have cost more than a tranny for sure

here's what i found on a basic read up on the DF
I have used the DF before on other mustangs i have owned.. and liked it very much.. those stangs mind you had more toys under the hood then my current stang where it's mostly stock under the hood. So was trying to figure out if it was worth spending the extra cash on it.
also keeping in mind that the DF grab's a little differently on day to day driving.. get that more 'grab' feeling.. so thus why I was thinking of leaning away from it.
seeing that it's still a favourite to others, I'll stick with the one i used mostly...
So I ordered one yesterday..
However they say it's on back order, anyone know how long that will take to fill?
Also.. Anyone know where i can get my flywheel turned? (locally for me)
The Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch generates up to a 90% increase in holding capacity over stock systems. The clutch/disc set is designed for use with engines producing high horsepower/torque output.

i was going to stick with the stock, but I got a good deal on a New Centerforce DF .. wasn't much more then a stock..
So.. that's what i'm going with..
I'll let ya's know if i like it or not..
I think mostly, I'll be happy that my car is no longer auto.. SO i won't have much to compare to with the DF over a stock.. since my car was auto and will now be manual..

I agree with the guy with the 86 make ur clutch the weak point ppl say that mustang trannys are but they arnt its either the driver missing gears or a heavy duty clutch thats to powerfull The king cobra is a amazing lutch and if u cant afford it go right back to a stock clutch if u have 250 to 350 horses it will do u fine
