G'day guys,

Being told that it is common for the 4.6 V8 suffer with a slight judder through the clutch?

Can anyone please confirm or deny this - thanks biggrin

I have a manual 4.6 with a Saleen super charge running 535 bhp no clutch judder at all,
Still running the standard clutch as well,
Sounds like a bent sender plate.

The GT500 clutch's are terrible for it, but the 4.6 isnt usually an issue with stock clutch. Now if you have had an after market one fitted, then very likely, I wont name and shame on here but feel free to call me and we can discuss fixing or info you need.

G'day Mike,
Thanks for your offer, but I let this 'for sale' stang go...risk was too high for me at the time.

I'm sure we will do some busniess in the future ;-)
