Clutch Going?
I am not sure if my clutch is going. I was sitting in traffic and it wouldn't really go into first and then I messed with it and put my foot under the clutch pedal and pulled up and all of a sudden it started to work again.
I have also noticed that if I push the clutch pedal all the way down it seems to go into gears easier then if say I go 3/4 of the way.
Is the clutch just not engaging properly? Do I need a new one?

RE: Clutch Going?
I bet your clutch quadrant is stock and your clutch cable is also? It's probably just stretched and needs to be adjusted. If I was right about the clutch quadrant I would really consider buying a new one and putting it in before the stock one snaps and leaves you stranded in a home depot parking lot like it did me... As for the firewall adjuster, you don't NEED to get that but its sure convenient, I personally don't have one, so I have to get down under the car and adjust it there.

I might as well replace it all if I am giong to do that. Where should I get a clutch (which one)?

I would do that first before you replace your clutch, no sense in spending $300 on a new clutch or whatever if you don't need it. That kit includes the firewall adjuster, its only like 25 bucks cheaper without it or something. Here's the the tech write up from one of the guys on the forum. https://mustangforums.com/m_1331822/tm.htm
