Thought I should introduce myself

Kevin likes the factory Clutches... some people on here do.

But if you do an performance upgrades or big power adds (Nitrous/Turbo) you will need a clutch(DXD) and a diff that can hold the power!

Those big power upgrades won't be for awile most of the work will just be exhaust, intake and suspension work.

Well I just ordered the shifter bushing kit off of sho source hopefully that will help the "play" in the shifter.

Have you verified if your car has a cable or rod shifter before you ordered that kit?

Run a STOCK clutch, Either a Valeo unit or LuK repset unit. (Get the 9.75'' Kit! Not the 9.25'', Ford recalled the 9.25'' Clutches for a reason). The cost of a LuK or Valeo kit run about 220 Dollars if you shop around.

If you need help, Please let me know! I don't know how to do everything but I currently own 3 SHO's that have not exploded. That has to count for something!

Agree on the stock 9.75. Had one in my 91+ that lasted countless years of abuse with no obvious signs of wear. The PO of my current 94 had a Ford replacement installed before I bought the car and it feels just right. I still have the clutch from my 91+ as a backup just in case, so these clutches can take a fair amount of power before you really hav to upgrade IMHO.

It's the cable shifter it's not the rods. I ordered the $19 kit shosource sells.

Suprised no one mentioned this, but I would see if changing trans fluids would help with the shifting. You can drill and tap the case to make it easy. Different SHOs like different fluid. Mobil 1 is a popular one, also heard of people having good luck with Syncromesh. I found that Valvoline MaxLife worked the best in mine.

No one has mentioned this......but don't you dare change the color on a 91Mocha Plus!! Vary rare esp with only 60K! The Plus edition is rare & only in 91 could you get the Mocha color & only on the Plus model.(search 'Plus')

According to the Ford production numbers, 1351 Mocha '91s were produced, and only 152 of them were Pluses.

Oh and sam here is his...

See? ^ T'ain't a Plus.

 

[SVOFANATIC]

I know it isn't a plus I did research on it. It was made in Nov 90 pluses weren't made till apirl.

 

[jonheese]

Yeah, sorry, I missed the entire 2nd page of this thread. I see now where you said that.

 

[SVOFANATIC]

Were did you get those numbers from anyway?
