SPEC stage 2+ or 3 if your basically stock or basically not heavily heavily modified

Id get a stock OEM TOB from ford, the SPEC one's can be bad right out of the box, change the pilot bearing. besides that, if you want you can get a tranny output shaft seal, since you will be taking the drive shaft in and out it could get a tad worn, never had the problem but who knows

I just recently had to replace my TOB, Clutch, and Flywheel.

Went with a stock replacement flywheel, Spec Stage 2+ Clutch, and Stock OEM TOB. I love the setup. Granted I'm still breaking it in, but once you get used to the clutch, it's great.

I can't believe nobody has said this...

Do the 26spline input shaft while you're there and be done with it.

Liberty Gears is what I went with, but I think someone else is making one too. D&D probably has one as well.

I used the Ram 98951HDT clutch (T designates the 26sp); basically a dual friction organic/sintered metal setup. Works really well all around and will take a healthy dose of track abuse too.

Otherwise a lot of guys run the Spec3+ clutch.

Liberty 26 Spline input, Ford TOB, Lethal TOB sleeve, and resurface your stock flywheel. I twisted the crap out of my 10 spline input shaft with around 500whp. made it hard as hell to shift. I also used a Spec 3+ modified clutch by Pro-motion. It is pretty awesome so far. I can't wait to hit the track with it considering my best time so far is witha slipping clutch and a twisted input shaft.
