that could be the problem, glad you found something so you can fix it now. most people drive something like a honda or vw or something like that and they get in a mustang with a high performance clutch and go god that cant be right. but its going to be a lil stiff.

Try pushing on my spec everyday...Then you will understand what a stiff clutch is..Since i had a motorsports clutch and it felt like a hyd. clutch compared to the spec..Its just normal when you get a performance clutch.
