I have all kinds of 1.9 escorts as well as 2.0 automatics, i took a motor apart today that on the clutch and flywheel said PERFORMANCE CLUTCH. Is this a standard clutch for a 97 2.0? If not what exactly is it? I have experience with the 2.0 autos but this is my first 5 speed.

doesn't sound like stock. any other numbers on it?

i will have to look, it is alot bigger than the stock 1.9 clutch. I will try and get some pictures out in the next day or so

it is alot bigger than the stock 1.9 clutch.

All 3rd gen 2.0 SPI clutches are larger then the 1.9.
The tranny is a stronger series.

the flywheel weighs about twice as much as a 1.9

my 2.0 SPI use the same clutch assembly as FORD Escape V6 (2,5) i don't remember the year

 

[racer42]

The flywheel says Performance clutch 50-2704and the clutch says4307 and then D80160/80170.
The flywheel is probably twice as thick as a regular flywheel to.

 

[racer42]

why would a performance clutch weigh twice as much as a stock one? I thought that the whole idea was to make it lighter
