OK. Got the car back today. Total bad news was just under $1100. The pedal now feels lighter - like the clutch springs are weaker. I'm wondering if I got an SVT clutch or not. Can anyone tell me if these Ford part numbers, which were on the invoice, are SVT parts?
Pressure plate - 98276
Clutch disc - 892576
Thanks for you help.
Those are not Ford part numbers, or if they are, they are not complete, so I can't tell.
As a clutch wears and the disc gets thinner, the pedal effort increases. It is a very gradual increase so it is usually not noticed until the clutch is replaced and the pedal suddenly feels lighter than you remembered. There is an exception in that there are some Ford trucks that have a pressure plate that self adjusts to compensate for the disc wear. Except for those few, all clutches are that way.
