Default Clutch Sticking High RPMs

Now i went through several pages under this section trying to locate where i read about this and was unable to find the thread.

I am sure alot of you are aware or have experienced the clutch staying mostly depressed after shifting near redline. I thought they came up with a resolution but i was unable to recall the fix-action for it.

Is this something i just take to the dealership and explain to them to have it fixed? Will my tune / cai / catback cause me any problems getting the clutch looked at?

Sorry in advance for the possible double thread. Thanks!

It has happened to me before to, happened about 2 or 3 passes I made when I had the car at the strip during Spring.

Could be caused from air bubbles in the brake line. Swapping to a steel braided line might fix it.

The very early 2011 Mustang had that issue. It sould not affect your 2013 Mustang.

Definitely a present issue. If I push it really hard pedal only comes back up like 3 inches until I let off and pump it twice.

I have taken mine to ford about it. They said we drove it 156 miles and nothing. I said you only have to drive it 500'. They shop manager who is very knowledgeable said it's ok. I just keep driving, but mine does it too. High RPM shifts it sticks to the floor.

The thread you're referring to....Advised to replace clutch pedal assembly with GT500 assembly because the springs in the assembly are catching a neutral spot upon releasing clutch.

It's in this section, just keep reading back.

In the thread you were looking for (https://mustangforums.com/forum/5-0l...y-old-car.html) there was not a full resolution to the problem. Other thread (https://mustangforums.com/forum/5-0l...issue-fix.html) said switching to the gt500 assembly solved the issue.

I think next weekend I will see if I can get some answers. If not, see how much it would cost to swap I guess. Just not sure if this could end up hurting something.
