Had a little accident last weekend - hopefully it will heal well before my GT arrives, but I have a feeling this is the type of injury that will ache from time to time.

Here's what I heard:

04 Mustang GT - 35 lbs clutch effort
04 Mustang Cobra - 55 lbs clutch effort
05 Mustang GT - 23 lbs clutch effort

Reference:
04 BMW M3 - 23 lbs clutch effort

The clutch is light and the shifter is precise. You're going to love this tranny. Don't worry one bit.

Exactly what I noticed.
I even said, "our Cobra is twice as hard as this" when I sat in an 05.
