Mustang 5.0 Ltr. V8 is often known as the “Fox Body” Mustang, is highly respected among automotive aficionados for a variety of reasons. Its power and performance are well-known, with strong acceleration and an exhilarating driving experience. It is also highly changeable, making it a favourite among people who prefer aftermarket modifications and performance enhancements. The body was made of lightweight materials. This enhanced the handling and overall performance. The lighter weight made the automobile more agile and responsive, increasing its attractiveness to drivers. The exterior design is sleek and forceful, with strong lines and a unique front grille. This classic design has stood the test of time and continues to attract vehicle lovers today. With a vast choice of accessible parts and modifications, owners can easily customise and personalise their vehicles to their preferences, whether it’s improving performance, upgrading the suspension, or enhancing the interior.

Owning a Fox Body Mustang allows you to meet other enthusiasts, attend car shows and events, and share your expertise and experiences with others. When compared to other historic muscle vehicles, the “Fox Body” can be quite inexpensive, especially when considering its performance potential. This makes it an appealing alternative for people looking for a powerful and fun-to-drive vehicle that won’t break the bank.

Clutch Plate Dimensions: 267mm x 10T x 27.5mm

Why Would You Need an Upgraded Clutch?

With any power modifications installation of an upgraded clutch should be considered. You’ll get a performance boost as well as unique, race-inspired shifting that sets your car apart from every other stock version on the road. Performance clutches hold higher torque capacity with better engagement and faster shifting.

The Mantic Stages Clutch System comes in a variety of configurations:

Stage 1 – This kit is developed primarily for the street performance niche, with more torque capability and better heat dispersion than the OE. The organic clutch disc has a high torque capacity cover, SG Iron ER² grooved pressure plate, and SG Iron ER² grooved pressure plate.
Stage 2 – Unique combinations of Organic and Cerametallic friction materials combine to produce increased torque capacity, while maintaining excellent drivability. The result is a higher torque capacity than a stage 1 kit, and better drivability than stage 3 kit. The stage 2 kit offers a high torque capacity cover assembly, plus a Spheroidal Graphite (SG Iron) casting with ER² Technology for maximum strength and higher torque capacity. The clutch disc features an organic friction material on the ER² pressure plate side of the disc, combined with cerametallic friction material on the flywheel side.
Stage 3 – Performance Clutch Systems for street use require increased torque capacity while retaining good pedal feel with fine modulation control. These characteristics inevitably increase heat which reduces service life. So the ideal performance clutch system for the street must also have improved heat dissipation. Mantic Stage 3 clutch kits feature a 20% increase (over original equipment) in clamp load for increased torque capacity. Approximately 300% stronger than a standard casting this material (sometimes referred to as an Anti Burst casting) not only increases strength by up to 3 times, it also improves heat dispersion. To insure that the clutch system performs at maximum efficiency and that no unwanted vibration is generated as the cover spins, all Mantic Stage cover assemblies undergo a 2 stage balancing process. The Torque Capacity of a Clutch Plate can be increased by using exotic cerametallic friction material featuring a higher coefficient of friction. However, cerametallic material reduces pedal feel and results in more sudden clutch engagement, reducing street driveability. Mantic Stage 3 Clutch Kits feature cerametallic friction material on both sides of the clutch plate. This results in a strong torque capacity increase compared with Stage 2 – but reduced street driveability. Stage 3 kits include cushioned segments and a sprung hub to maintain a reasonable level of street drivability.
Stage 4 – Capable of handling a lot of torque, this system isn’t intended for street use. The cover assembly has a high torque capacity, an SG Iron pressure plate, and a sprung center cerametallic disc.
Stage 5 – Our most aggressive single disc application, is intended specifically for track and motorsport applications. The stage 5 kit includes a high torque capacity cover assembly with an SG iron burst-proof pressure plate, as well as a rigid hub and undamaged Cerametallic Clutch Disc.

Mantic Stage Series Mantic Stage 1 and Stage 2 clutch kit cover assemblies feature the patented ER² Groove Design, which is a unique pattern CNC machined on the friction face of the pressure plate. This groove has been specifically designed to increase the Mean Effective Radius of the pressure place and assist in heat dissipation. The increase in the Mean Effective Radius of the cover assembly gives a significant increase in the torque capacity.
