I've got a spec clutch coming from the GB abd ford told me the same...10 hrs even though that seems ridiculous to me. I did find a reputable local tranny shop though that quoted me $500 for labor as opposed to the stealership's $675! IIRC correctly they have to drop the subframe to get the tranny out to work on it...PITA job but I still don't see where it should take 10 hours, 6 or 7 I could see but 10 hous is a little high, but that's Ford for you...HIGH.

On a side note, I'll have a SVT clutch and flywheel available soon (just under 40K miles) if anyone's interested I'll probably post it in the classifieds.
