Default Re: 1985 mustang GT

I would contact G-Force and ask if they have a trade-in GF5R, that's what's been in my car since 2007. They will build it with the ratios and stand behind it without the brand new price tag. That trans will work in either Stock or SS. If you decide to jump into the SS pool, that same trans can be upgraded to clutchless without a lot of cost. Knowing power and RPM will be very helpful and they will select correct ratios. The current trend in SS is the Liberty. Jerico would be the 3rd choice. Only because they seem to have forgotten their loyal customers with older units and not providing replacement parts for that customer base. No matter what trans you go with, if buying used from a racer. Ask for the serial number and contact the manufacturer to make sure it still has parts available.

As for clutches their are several of those to choose from as well. Cale Aronson, Rob Youngblood and a few others. The bellhousing to have in my opinion is a Browell, simular to the Quick Time in a cone style bellhousing. The investment for these items is not cheap, but they will provide several years of long term abuse. The clutch and how it is setup can kill or save the drivetrain and that investment.
