if your car has a 4.6 SOHC in it, you have a T-3650 not a T-5 and I recommend Ram clutches....be carefull if you order a Spec as there hit-or-miss............

why do you think you need a heavy *** clutch anyway? And not all clutches come in stages ( I dont know why this bullshit started of naming things stage 1 2 3) only the Spec ones are labeled as such.

The T5 only came w/ the sixers. Not sure what Roush did transmission wise but if it's a 5 speed, then it's probably a TR3650 (or a TKO in which the TKO has a removeable bellhousing while the TR3650 doesn't). Otherwise, if it;s a 6 speed, it's a T56.

if you get under the car and look for an ID tag # on the trans, you can post-it up here and I'll try and de-code it for you......

Roush did not change trannies on any of the standard run cars. For 2002 he has a TR3650 identifiable by the presence of a 3/8" drive drain plug on the bottom of the tranny facing the ground.

Unless you're supercharged there's no reason to go to a heavier clutch other than to wear out your left leg. I'd start with a OEM 11" clutch that your car came with. If you need a little more, Ram are great clutches but American Muscle has a screamin' deal on Fidanza clutches right now and you could pick up a 2.1 series for pretty sick cheap. It's a nice upgrade over stock http://www.americanmuscle.com/fidanz...v8-clutch.html

EDIT: FWIW I use a conventional sprung hub disc with full kevlar facings on both sides, Centerforce TOB and a FRPP King Cobra 10.5" pressure plate on a Fidanza 10.5" aluminum flywheel to hold the beastie's grunt. Converting to a 10.5" clutch gave me more options. You probably don't want to go there.
