    Picked up a T5 transmission and parts

    Wondering if you would run this clutch and pressure plate or not?  Came from a running driving car with 70K. He was switching everything with a new Coyote.  Also came with a Aluminum block plate.  I have a steel one in the attic.  Does it matter which one we run.  This is for my sons 68 Mustang he's been working on. Picked up everything $400.

    Clutch and PP are cheap enough............especially when you think about the hassle of pulling the tranny to change a chatter-y clutch. Swap it NOW and don't look back.

    Not liking those hot spots on the p plate.  I'd buy a new setup.

    Don't like the clutch disc...looks like its at its end...pressure plate and flywheel can easily be sanded out with 100 grit..on a d/a sander.....I like Sals/TKO idea ...buy a new disc and pressure plate.....jj

    Thanks Guys!  Looks like were buying new!   Is there any difference between the Aluminum and Steel Block plate?   The Steel seems a little thicker and stronger.

    I had an issue with an aluminum one, Steve.  Don't know exactly what caused it but the original plate (came with the donor engine) somehow warped a bit when I mated the engine/trans.  This allowed the torque converter bolts to just  barely touch it...which caused heat and made it warp even more.  I never heard anything but when I pulled things apart for the major body resto in 2012 I saw what had been going on.  Bought a steel one, no more issue.

    Re: Picked up a T5 transmission and parts

    Block plates are specific to the fly wheel.  SBF had two different flywheels - 157tooth & 164tooth (I think)  Get a mismatch and the starter will not align with the F/W.  And, get a steel one.

    And, I agree about the clutch and pressure plate.  Get new ones.
