    I remember reading somewhere that it has been done with the engine in the car (I'll see if I can find the thread) Also read that Scooter says the engine has to come out, as per the repair manual.

    I assume the clutch set-up is the same as for a 2004 Mustang, same flywheel, same bell-housing, same gearbox, same bearings ? (although different gearing and gear stick). Plenty of uprated plates around in the USA

    Only happened yesterday, didn't notice it anymore and it seems odd that a clutch would need replacing at 44k (I had the car since 17K and don't drive with slipping clutch or do burn-outs) I'll check the hydraulics first and then see what comes up.

    If you leave the engine in, then you've got to remove the gearbox and from what I remember, there is a possibility of bending the input shaft, causing a vibration.

    Are you sure it wasn't the wheels spinning?
