Worse case scenario, I don't have it covered under warranty, and I can't get a good deal trading it in on something else, I might have my mechanic friend replace the clutch. Any clutch recommendations, and a list of parts I'd need to order?

While I was there setting up the appointment, I talked to a salesman who has a 2013 Mustang 5.0 manual. He drove mine and said my clutch wasn't grabbing until the very end. He let me drive his and it was a much smoother clutch, the car didnt jerk around as much.
Now the newest problem with mine seems to be that it randomly decides not to go into gear...

All that aside, after the new clutch broke in, car drives like it should. I can really describe with words how amazed I am at my new clutch. Damn thing does exactly what I want it the way I want it with confidence.
Following your story to the end
. Can't say it enough but good luck!!!!

I have an appointment for a drive with a service tech this coming Monday. The service department is nice, there's a friendly lady named Carolyn who set me up with an appointment.

Deysha, I sent you a PM.
I took it over there this morning at 7:30 and rode along with as the service manager drove it a few miles to see if he could replicate the problem. He didn't say much about what he thought, he just asked me some questions and I tried to tell him what has been going on with the car. I left my car there, and they've had it there all day. So far I haven't heard back from them, I really have no idea what's going on.
I will keep you guys posted on any updates.

I've had my car at the dealership since Monday, and still no update. Supposedly, the service manager has 'driven it several times' and was not able to duplicate the problem. I'm afraid the car is going to be trashed and the gas tank empty when I get it back, with the clutch even further worn out. That would really upset me. I have an appointment tomorrow morning to speak with the service manager and possibly take it for another drive. This is really beginning to **** me off. I'm stuck without a car, and I need it back, in good shape.
