2002 Explorer Clutch NLA?

My 2002 Explorer 4.0 is in the shop for a clutch replacement. The mechanic informed me that the pressure plate is NLA. My local Ford dealer confirmed it. Anyone know where I might find one?

Angry Explorer is still out of action

According to my mechanic the clutch kits listed for the 2002 Ford Explorer do not fit mine. Unfortunately just because the manufacturers say they will fit does not mean that they will.

The input spline on my transmission has 25 teeth. The replacement clutches from Ford and the aftermarket are designed for 23 teeth. The mechanic is opting to have the existing clutch rebuilt and reinstalled. Not the most optimum solution.
