Default Ford High performance clutch?

I bought my 03 GT from the original owner. He ordered it and said that when he ordered it he got the ford high performance clutch; does anyone know what clutch he's talking about, and if so is it any good? Second question, my MGW shifter should be in next week, how does the plastic trim aound the shifter come off? I don't want to brake the trim by rushing and just pulling it off.

If he was trying to say he custom ordered it from ford with a high performance clutch already installed he is full of it.

He could have had it done at a dealership (they can buy parts thru FRPP) but I highly doubt anyone would order a car and have the dealership pull the trans to swap in a better clutch before they even get the car.

I'll have to check. When I was looking at it I was thinking he drove it for a while and then decided that he wanted a new clutch. Well, then I asked him about it and he said he ordered the car with it. I didn't doubt him only because the car has just about every option except the MACH 1000.

I asked him if it had a more specific name wrather than just, "High Performance Clutch," but he said thats all they called and that it requires a little more effort to press in.

I would say the guy is full of it. Like I said, unless the dealership got a brand new car in, and swapped out the brand new clutch for a king cobra unit, there is no way to "order" the car with a better clutch. They won't put one on at the factory in other words.

hmmm, that sucks. Doesn't matter that much I guess, it just would have been nice if it did have a better clutch for the hell of it.

a little more effort a king cobra is actualy easier to press so i highly doubt it
