I don't know. The clutch I removed said "Valeo" on it, as well as a Ford logo. It is not the original clutch from the factory though. The previous owner replaced it a few years ago.
clutch disk lost a spring. ok time to upgrade.

Ford does not actually manufacture the SHO clutch - they "source" it from Valeo. So when you buy a "Ford replacement" clutch, you're essentially buying a new Valeo pressure plate and clutch disc (hence why both the Valeo stamp and Ford p/n appear on the clutch disc).
Also, if you look at a vast majority of the clutch discs, the actual disc material is also Valeo-sourced, even on most of the remans.

Gas is $$ WALK!
Before my current setup, I lost a spring in the disc on a Ford unit.
This happened to be the 2nd failed "stock" clutch in less than 20k miles.
First failure was the dreaded PP finger wear.
The second was the ejected spring out of the disc....
I upgraded to a heavy Duty SHONUT pressure plate, SHONUT ceramic TOB, and Fibertuff disc. AWESOME combo!!
