Hey all,

Have a 94 3.8l with 5 speed manual. 205k miles.. replaced clutch around 180ish and car has been fine until recently.

The problem I am getting is the clutch feels like it's always partially in!

Example: If i try to pop the clutch, it will just start out slow and eventually get to speed. No burning rubber anymore (not that I want to). I can change gears with my foot less than 1/4 of the way in!

I know mustangs are notorious for stretched cables, but wouldn't that make it to where I would have to go all the way to the floor to engage the clutch??

So is it:
- clutch is going out again?
- Cable is bad (stretched)
- needs Adjustment (if so, any documentation on how to adjust, with pics please)
- combination?
- am I going crazy??

Thanks in advance for your help!

Mine's doing the basically the same thing with the lack of take off, but I've noticed at high speeds in forth and fifth gear my clutch slips.

My clutch does not slip that i can tell. When it slips, sounds like you need a new one.

I guess I might as well, just can't believe I need one soo soon!

No one else has any insight????
