You can find out by removing the starter. I believe there is a right up on shotimes.com and if not, someone can explain. I rememebr something like 3/4" of pressure plate, after the flywheel for the 9 3/4" clutch, and a flat thin pressure plate, like 1/4" after the flywheel for the 9 1/4" clutch. However, it's rare to find the old style, but it happens.

If you call your local ford dealer and give them your VIN #, they can tell you if there are any outstanding recalls due to your car.

The odds of you having the original 9 1/4" clutch after 15 years is slim to none. I'd wager that yours has been replaced in that time period, and if so, with the recommmended 9 3/4" stock Valeo clutch.
