I would think on a track car that it could not matter.....Think key word there.

But on a street car I would be afraid of picking crap up and getting it in ur clutch. Not to mention that it would be 10000 times easier to get water up in there. I ran w/o the cover for the clutch for forever but would be afraid to run w/o the front cover.

I would run it if I was you. You want to keep crap out of the clutch area.

Don't think so.


Post a "WANTED" thread in the classfieds here or on corral.net for the part and see if anyone offers you one

I don't know if you think $55 is too expensive or not, but I bought mine for that price from Modern Driveline (they specialize in 5 speed conversions for classic Mustangs and Fords). Do a google search and you should be able to find it.

Actually if you look at the application of that piece you will see it works with a 302 and a t-5 from the fox mustang years. You could give em a call to make sure but according to the website it will work.

The one I mentioned above from Modern Driveline came in FOMOCO packaging and was a true OEM Ford part, fwiw.

BK you have to run it. IT spaces the trans back about an 1/8th of an inch. And it keeps crap out of the clutch area. I've got a few of those at the yard. PM me if you still need on and are interested.
