Niko_Zdelar New Member 3 Member For: 8y 11m 2d Posted 25/05/16 01:25 AM Share Posted 25/05/16 01:25 AM I have bought a second hand 07 FPV f6 Tornado and I'm blessed in the fact that it's my first car. Recently (driving from Perth to Geelong) my clutch went rock hard and then went straight to the floor. Dad managed to nurse her home. I now need a replacement and I am getting various responses and quotes. ive been quoted upwards of 5g from a ford dealer in Geelong and have also been told that no one does twin plates anymore. Can anyone help and point in a good direction for a clutch similar to the factory clutch?

AP Racing do sell refurb kits for the factory twin plates that are quite a bit less than 5k.

Niko_Zdelar New Member 3 Member For: 8y 11m 2d Posted 25/05/16 01:45 AM Author Share Posted 25/05/16 01:45 AM I really have no idea what the cause is. Car has done 92,000kms. What would you consider an acceptable price? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91999-advice-07-f6-clutch/#findComment-1592107 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mal Woods or NPC do some really nice twin plates that would suit.

Expand In answer to this question. Yep Tell Mal Wood (if you're speaking to them) about the exact symptoms you observed and they'll tell you what the actual problem is (most likely). The symptoms as you've written them here don't point to a clutch failure, in my opinion. It seems more likely to be what Ralph said: an actuation system fault.
