This winter I intend on doing a clutch in my 2013 Mustang GT, and there are a TON of options and opinions, and I was wondering if anyone on here specifically had experience with and recommended one? Or maybe my issues are completely unrelated?
My car has about 22,000 miles on it now; 12,000 of which under my ownership, which has been primarily beating the hell out of it.
The car has a Blowfish Bracket, Barton 2 post shifter, Braided Clutch line (Slave to Master line), Divorced Reservoir (instead of sharing fluid with the brakes).
Between all of that; I never miss gears, it shifts extremely sweetly/crisply when cruising and the pedal doesn't get soft as often when at the drag strip, which is lovely, but I still occasionally get 'locked out' if I'm driving especially hard.
So basically when driving in anger at the track, I shove the clutch to the floor, but it won't let me into the gate for the next gear (grinds if I try to push the shifter into the gate). If I hit the clutch again (slower/more methodically), it lets me into the gate just fine, even at high RPM.
In normal day to day driving, the car behaves 100% fine, no issues. It's just at the strip that I essentially have to shift 'slowly', which obviously is not good for ET's.
I've read a multitude of different things on this, but general consensus is that the stock GT clutch is hot garbage for shifting quickly. I don't see anything glaring about the Slave or Master cylinders being problematic, I don't see any leaks, and the system Self-Bleeds, so I sure feel like it would be a stretch to blame the hydraulics of the clutch system.
and [MENTION=22]syP[/MENTION], this is why I don't have a blower yet!
