after 55k miles i am replacing my clutch i called several mechanics and ford dealers every one was charging me any where from 4300 to 5500 replace my clutch......after not driving my car for several weeks, i decided to do the work myself.........it took me about 8hrs to remove the transmission..i will advise when completed

GT GUYS have been known to do it in two to four hours max. Looks like their records are safe. Good luck, keep us posted.

Cimax, are you replacing with stock clutch or something else? There are a few threads here about clutch replacements.

Did you figure out how to pull the trans without removing the clamshell? I did an exhaust swap according to Shadowman's instructions without pulling it. The only aftermarket clutch I know of is spec. Turbo Joe's gang swear by it.

Pulling the clamshell is easy and makes a lot of repairs much easier, but to be safe you need 3 people and a lot of tape! 2 people to hold left and right sides and the 3rd to pull the hinge pins and later to line up the hinges and put the pins back in. I have seen the GT Guys do it with only 2 people, but they are pros, I wouldn't recommend it. It is harder to put it back on than to take it off. Lining up the hinges while being careful not to damage anything.

'Quick note on this: deburr/polish the pins while U have them out and put a little WD40 or the like on 'em B4U reinstall.

MUCHO easier to get the pins back in...

Stillen clutch for GT

The only aftermarket clutch I know of is spec. Turbo Joe's gang swear by it.

During the California rally Stillen showed us a heavy-duty aftermarket clutch they were about to come out with. I don't know if they have it ready for sale yet but you might want to give them a call.

We are getting two different types of clutches made by AP. They are on the water right now and should be in our warehouse in the next few weeks. I don't have a price just yet.
