I have a 2006 GT, and was just talking with my friend who has driven it, and he says that my clutch is 'heavier' than others. I have to say, it's a chore to drive this car in traffic with the clutch being so heavy. Does anyone know if there's a way to make it more responsive with less muscle?

Thanks,

Not sure Danny, I'd say suck it up and muscle it.

I have a Centerforce DF and I don't think it's too bad as far as clutch pedal pressure, but others say its way harder than stock.

 

i have an '05, and mine is heavier than any other persons Mustang I've driven, as you described. its been like that ever since I bought the car and thought thats how it was. till I drove others people cars, I took it th dealer twice, they said they don't know why its heavier.

 

I find the clutch featherlight After driving a 03/04 svt cobra I almost put my foot thru the floor in my 07!

 

I'm the friend who drove the car. It's a very heavy clutch, much more so then any other stick I have driven. I about got a leg cramp getting it to the gas station and back. I've see others with this concern but never saw if there was a resolution. On the positive side of things, Pegasus does have a pretty buff left calve!

I wonder if his left calf is actually bigger than his right calf now.

 

I had an '86 GT that would give me leg cramps in traffic, but that was in the days before hydraulic clutch slave cylinders and the like. I would check/trace the hydraulic system supporting your clutch and look for obvious problems first.

 

I think you'll find a lot of complaints about the clutch on the S197 but by far the worst part about it is the lack of feel and the inconsistency of it. After 3 1/2 years I still can't be sure of when it will exactly engage

 

My 07 V6 w/ Pony Package has a heavy clutch. I really don't mind it cos I'm used to race cars with heavy clutches. The really light Mustang clutches remind me too much of an import car feel. I tested an 08 GT500 clutch and I was underwhelmed by the sissy feeling clutch pedal.

There may be a difference in the clutch pedal return springs from the older S197 cars to the newer ones.

 

same here with both 05 gt and 07 really easy, as was everyother one I drove

 

The Termi clutches are decently heavy stock. If you haven't already, try out a 2010 clutch if you get a chance. Those make our clutches feel like Stage 2 + in comparison.
