I called SPMotorsports where I got the clutch kit that contained the new TOB. They said that they have had some issues with them and they have no problem replacing it. But they also told me that the TOB in the Contour, Cougar, etc, all are made by the same company. One company owns the patent for that part thus no matter where you get it, SPEC, Ford dealer, Napa, etc...they all come from the same manufacturer. He said their patent runs out next year so then we might see some better quality. Has anyone else ever heard of this?
