Default 2012 5.0 clutch question

Ive had the car for a week and a half, and twice now when doing a decent wot pull threw 2nd-4th gear the clutch peddle got super stiff and today (the 2nd time) the clutch peddle only came about 50% back up it wasn't slipping and it would still fully disengage. After about 4 or 5 more gear changes it returned to normal.

Any ideas?

WARRANTY

Take it in an at least document the issue.

A few Boss Mustangs gave had the same issue. No definate cause from what I have read. Only happened once or twice and then gone for good.

Good luck

Sounds like you've got the "bolt backing out" issue. The pressure plate bolts on some cars were defective and started backing out. Take 'er in and have the dealer fix it. I'd do it tomorrow!

I will take it in and let them "look" at it. One thing I found and want to know more on, I saw a pic of the stock pressure plate and it looked like it might of had some counter weights on it. So when its revved up it grabs harder. I know Zoom makes a pressure plates like this.
