I am new to 5th gen mustangs. Tried 4th gen, the clutch pedal feels normal.
Today I tried two mustangs, both are 05, and both have very stiff clutch pedal. I need to push it very hard to push it in. (I drive a civic si, compared with the mustang, you can not feel any pressure when pushing the clutch pedal)

I know that civic si use hydraulic cylinders in clutch. googled and found that mustang uses clutch cable? is that why it is harder to push in?

Is it normal on mustangs, or the stiff pedal indicates there's something need to be done?

Going to buy the 05 V6 Mustang tomorrow, hope I can get some advice.

Thanks a lot!

I test drove a 09 GT a while back, clutch was very stiff on that one too. Don't know why..

Advice? Go with a GT...the v6 isn't mush faster than your SI. you'll enjoy a GT much more.

s197s use hydraulic as far as I know.
my 03 Cobra uses cable. My 08 is as smooth as butter compared to that.

Yes the clutch is very heavy in the '05 V6, especially compared to an Si.
The first time I drove mine I was pretty shocked.

You will get use to it though.

I would like a GT too... But the budget -_-

This is a very good bargain I think. 1st owner, price is below 5800. very clean inside and out. (a mid age mid class white man,). everything stock. I drive it and it feels tight and good. only con is its high mileage. 140k+. but mostly highway, and also that's why i can get it at such a price.

for a GT i may need to prepare about 10k...

is there anything I can do to adjust the pedal?
should be a pain driving it after a soccer game when i'm exhausted.....

I'm not really sure.
But it will become second nature to you after awhile, even when your tired you won't notice that its heavy.

I know the V6 I drove was very stiff, my leg was tired after the first day. Then getting back in my 67 I pretty much kicked the clutch pedal I was so used to the S197 clutch. My 67 doesn't take much pressure.

i asked my uncles if theres any way to change the pressure on the clutch and they said no luck. All 3 are mechanics so i gotta go with them
