Just got my Clutch installed... Bit of issue. 2005 Mustang GT 4.6L

Hey everyone,

So just got my clutch installed and just wanted to know if this is normal.
Spec 2 clutch kit and re-used the stock, flywheel was in good condition as per the transmission shop ( Will keep their name unknown for now)
Upgraded the the tob to a Exedy throwout bearing as people recommended on forums and AM sale rep.
Change the pilot bearing to a Ford racing part as well.
Mustang Pro 5.0 short throw shifter.

When the car is off, the shifter will go into all gears without no issue.

When the car is on. It is really hard to get it into gear and is requiring me to use both hands to get it into reverse (:S yea def not normal)
I also notice I have almost no play in the clutch pedal, as soon I let off a little bit the car want to go.
Sometimes just sitting still, with the car in gear, the car want to move, as if it grabbing just a bit enough to make it shutter/ rpm to drop just a bit.

Should I allow the week break in period and than go back to complain about this or is one of the parts I installed not good?

Please let me know your inputs.


(Sorry for the poor English)

Sorry, I forgot to note it's a 2005 (Hydraulic slavE)

Complain now, or asap, it should have never even left the shop like that. It sounds to me like the clutch is not releasing, so even with your foot on the pedal it's still on a bit, so it is wearing prematurely since it's always contacting the flywheel and pressure plate. Could be a problem with the slave, air in the system, or TOB.

No it does not need a break in to release correctly. Would have never suggested that clutch set up.
Was flywheel machined?
Clutch damage is certain if you continue to drive as is.

Hey Rick, after looking after all the forums and a few pm from worried board guys....
Can I have you look at it.

I might just dump this entire setup and spent some extra bucks on what you suggest in parts to purchase!

Thank you!

Sent you a pm with a suggestion, please let us know how you make out.
