2013 GT Clutch Problem

I bought a 2013 GT six speed at times under hard acceleration the clutch pedal does not fully return. I have to put my toe underneath it and pull it up. Clutch does not slip, but does not return all the way. I have been told that the spring on the clutch mechanism is an assist spring, not a return spring and it was heavier in the 13 models to make the clutch lighter. I do not know if this is true or not. I asked the Ford dealer and was told they have no reports of problems like this and of course, it would not do it while I was there. Has anyone had this problem and have a fix for it.

Hello bob47,

Let me get this escalated to the customer service manager of your area. Please PM me with your dealer, mileage, VIN, full name, and best daytime number so I can help.

This has not happened to me yet, as I don't redline that much. I do have to agree with the clutch being lighter on late 13s and most of the 14s, I strongly believe there was a revision done down the road.

All of the 14s we tested prior to my friends' recent purchase (regardless of brembo or track pkg or 3.73gears being optioned) they felt much much lighter than mine as if they are too loose.

I wonder if this has anything to do with it?!
