Angry 2005 Mustang GT clutch problem

Ok 30,000 miles on my car have been more than great...last 6,000 been horrible. My clutch started slipping so I took it in and they replaced the clutch all is good for a month. Clutch pedal starts declining strength...gets soft lost about 30% causing it very hard to shift almost shifting without a clutch. Take it back clutch is fine, dealership then replaces slave cylinder and hydrolic system. It drives fine for another 3 months now it's getting soft again about 20-30% of the clutch is lost. Had a friend bleed it and no difference. If anyone has had a similiar problem or an idea on what I could do to fix this ongoing problem please reply. The car runs great but it's almost been undrivable the past 6 months I'm so frustrated!

Only mods on the car are xcalibrator 1 and steeda cold air intake
Custom xpipe exhaust with flowmasters.

take it back to dealer, tell them they are responsible to fix it. You did not have any of these issue before the install. good luck.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that since this guy only has one post and it's 4 years old... He's not coming back to answer you.

When I bought my '09, I noticed around 2k miles that the clutch was slipping every once in a while, and repeatedly took the car back to Ford for them to fix it. They could never replicate the problem and chalked it up to my driving habits. While I love my stangs, I do not abuse them.

My clutch ended up going around 25k and I was livid. Took it back to Ford and i'm unsure of what went on, but I payed $100 for a completely new clutch system and oil change. If you are experiencing similar issues, take the car in as soon as you notice anything. I had my car in six times before the clutch finally went.. My assumption is that they ate the cost as it was documented since the car was new that there were issues.

Default 05 mustang clutch issues

What happened was the clutch was replaced again and I sold the car after a month before running into more problems. Had 2 cars since a 09 dodge challenger rt and now a 2013 subaru wrx. I doubt ill buy another mustang again.

I'm impressed your still on the forums, especially after all you went through with your Mustang.
Hope your Subaru is a lot more fun than the Mustang was. ;-)
