New Clutch etc.....

First of all, I hate to jump on your case, but shifting like that when you know you have a bad mount is just plain dumb, especially since you did it again after you did it the first time. If it is harder to shift now, you may have some issues.

A few tips. My tranny was making some clunking sounds, and the shifter actually jumped to the left on acceleration, I thought trans mount too, I bought the energy suspensions poly eur. trans mount and jacked up the front of my car.

I actually found that the bolts that secured the transmission to the bellhousing were loose !!!! You may want to make sure all the bolts underneath are good and secure. The trans mount goes in like a piece of cake. I didn't have to remove the exhaust or anything. You may need a jack to support the trans to position it in place. I did have to remove one side of the crossmember, but in hindsight now, I might not have even had to do that. The trans mount is a very easy 1 hour or less ( 20 mins easy if you are good) project. I would do that IMMEDIATELY!!!

I have a ford racing clutch in my stang. It is the second one I have. It is the heavy duty one, not the king cobra. WHile those two are identical, the heavy duty costs less, has the same gripping power, but takes the might of a herd of elephants to press down. Kinda nice for an excuse for others not to drive your car.

Anyway, can't go wrong with the ford racing clutch, king cobra, or the spec, which seems to be very popular also, these are easily the two most popular.

Don't throw in a new clutch without going to an aluminum double or triple hook quadrant with firewall adjuster, steeda makes a nice kit for that.
