what kind of clutch in the sn197's?
hydrolic or cable?

 

Hydraulic

 

wow i was totaly half a sleep typing that out.. spell check much lol..

 

A Hydraulic clutch has been in the Mustang since 2005, but a DUAL MASS flywheel is now new for 2011.

They work so hard to loose weight on these cars but then go and add weight to the clutch assembly.

Got to try and lure in the import buyers I guess, because I'd bet not one die hard Mustang enthusiast would cry about a clutch NOT being "dual mass" !!

Dual-Mass flywheel lessens the shock loads to the drivetrain, that's why they use them.

 

my problem with hydraulic clutches is the fear i have left over from my 88 Iroc i had when i was a teen.. i went through 6 clutches in 2.5 years.. and only put 40k on the car.. even replaced the entire hydaulic assembly thing still burned through centerforce2 clutches like butter ( please dont start a flame war about not knowing how to drive or shift that wasnt the issue, car was stock at the time), in fact my friend and i got so good at replacing the clutch.. i could jack the car up and 60 min later i was driving it out of the garage, put the same clutch in my 95GT had no issues with it over 60k miles.

 

Wasn't because it was a hydraulic actuated clutch, they've been around for a long time and work great when used, installed and maintained properly.

 

the camaro wasnt my first stick car.. learned on a 5speed. drove my moms honda hydraulic) and dads 87 gt both were stick for over a year prior to buying the camaro..

im thinking it had something to do with their hydaulic setup on those years,
never had clutch problem with any car prior or after.. they were ALL Cable
