Stock clutch and disc? Sounds like a broken clutch disc, or something along those lines.
The Focus towers don't break, Terry has only had one reported broken. The upgrade is just extra precaution.

well here we go....
I bought car which just had tran replaced... (diff pin)
I didn't know at the time of purchase
I blew diff pin.
I installed a used trans (had no dough)
That trans broke, not the diff pin but the spider gears.
Installed HMS trans ($1600)
Just broke it tonight.
But most likley just the shift tower.
I wasn't shifting when it broke just launching hard.
As far as you never breaking anything...
you had a zetec, that even with a blower barely put out the #'s an SVT does if I'm not mistaken.
You also had an ATX no hard launches there!!
SO I thinking I appreciate your input sir but keep your crappy comments to your self.
I'd like to point out TWO things
1. I am getting harassed by a MOD!!
2. MIKEY BOY FOR MOD OF W. GREAT LAKES!!!
Learn how to drive NO
Learn how to drive like a sensable person YES.

I say just give Terry a call. He probably knows EXACTLY what happened. Probably could provide solutions as well.

i bet ya no matter what you do your car couldnt touch my car off the line when it was a 3L ATX. when the tranny was good and i had decent tires it would launch HARD (3500 stall does that) ive taken 5.0 5spd mustangs off the line and kept running away from them. now that i got a mtx....well i better learn how to drive this thing

What happens when you put it in gear and rev it?
...Or can you even put it in gear?
Reason I ask is because I stripped my halfshaft once and it lost all movement (with an LSD...). I would put it in gear w/o needing the clutch and revving would cause the speedometer to go up a bit like you were spinning the tires.

sure a 3l yeah there's a great comparison.
let's see.
who here has broken axles with there atx, and wasn't turning corners.
I'm sorry but if you don't have a stall converter, then you don't have the drivetrain "shock" of a hard launch that a manual tran has.
The factory controlled ATX also will not allow you to shift as fast as any person with an MTX.
Note the word FACTORY CONTROLLED.

I beat the hell out of my car EVERYDAY until I got rid of it at 140k. The supposed weak CD4E took it like a champ. Did I mention it did this with 70 MORE WHP. 
I am no expert....but transmissions "just don't break" without any persuasion from the driver. That's just how it is.
