Manual Transmission and Clutch

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The transmission and clutch system consist of the following:

Manual transmission
- T5OD is used with the 4.0L engine.
- TR3650 is used with the 4.6L engine.
- TR6060 is used with the 5.4L engine.
Clutch disc
Clutch pressure plate
Clutch release hub and bearing
Clutch hydraulic system
Pilot bearing
Flywheel

Power is delivered from the engine's flywheel, to the transmission. The power is transmitted through a driver-operated clutch, which allows for engagement and disengagement of the engine to the transmission.

The transmission input shaft receives the power when the clutch is engaged. The transmission then uses a system of gears to change the speed and torque relationship between the engine crankshaft and the transmission output shaft.

The purpose of the clutch is to connect and disconnect a manually operated transmission, and the remainder of the driveline system, from the engine. This allows starting and stopping the vehicle, shifting and changing speeds that correspond to the engine speed through gear reductions.

The clutch with the 4.0L or 4.6L engine is a single-plate, dry-friction disc with a diaphragm-style spring pressure plate. The 5.4L clutch is a dual disc clutch and pressure plate that is serviced as an assembly.

The manual transmission has a tag to identify assemblies for repair purposes. Refer to MANUAL TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION - T5OD , MANUAL TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION - TR3650 or MANUAL TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION - TR6060 for the transmission tag information.
