Default My mystery clutch.

So I really love the clutch in my car. I bought the car with the clutch already in it, and it's been my first 5 speed car. The thing is, I have no idea what clutch is in it, and the small dealer i bought the car from a while back has since gone out of business. The clutch is really stiff going in, and doesn't throw back out like a stock clutch, it eases out real slowly. She also grabs basically right at the top of the pedal travel.

I have no idea if you guys know if, say, a Spec Stage 2 is what this sounds like, or maybe I have a firewall adjuster or something. I'm not quite sure how to tell without ripping stuff apart.

I ask because I could very well be trading in my GT on an extremely clean '03 Mach tomorrow that's completely bone stock (I'm breaking even on my car). I test drove the car, and despise the clutch already. It's almost laughably flimsy.

Thanks in advance, guys.

hard to say man. doesn't sound anything like my King Cobra Clutch though. the KC is very easy to push in, but it comes back pretty quick. no slowness there, that's for sure. bump for other opinions i suppose???

most aftermarket clutches pop out pretty quick. and a firewall adjuster allows you to move the engagement point (usually lower is better). i gotta be honest i would hate to have your clutch as you described!
