Description
Designed around the drivetrain package used in 1996–2017 Ford Mustang, the EXEDY Replacement Clutch Disc – 1996–2017 Ford Mustang is intended for drivers prioritizing enthusiast street, autocross, HPDE, and modified performance builds and correct EXEDY component matching.
EXEDY Heritage
Founded in Japan in 1923, EXEDY built its reputation as Daikin Clutch before becoming one of the best-known global names in clutch and driveline engineering. Its background spans OEM supply and purpose-built performance hardware, giving the brand unusual depth from factory-style service parts to multi-plate racing systems.
Product Overview
EXEDY replacement clutch discs allow an existing compatible clutch assembly to be serviced without replacing every reusable component. Disc construction varies by series: organic materials favor modulation and street behavior, while cerametallic designs prioritize heat resistance and torque transfer for more demanding use.
Select a replacement disc by the exact EXEDY clutch system or matching pressure-plate/flywheel combination, not simply by vehicle. A disc that physically fits is not automatically calibrated for the clamp load or release geometry of another clutch kit.
Configuration
- EXEDY Part Number: ET05SRFC
- Configuration: Replacement Clutch Disc
- Construction / Character: Application-specific EXEDY configuration
- Torque Rating: Determined by the complete matched clutch system
- Best Suited For: Servicing the compatible EXEDY clutch assembly without replacing reusable matched components
Selection Notes
For 1996–2017 Ford Mustang, this configuration makes the most sense when its intended duty matches the vehicle's actual power and use. Avoid overspecifying clutch aggressiveness: the best setup is the one that maintains the needed torque reserve while preserving usable modulation and protecting the rest of the driveline.
