I'm on the verge of installing the pedal assembly myself...

I am working with the service manager looking for a fix though. Not sure what they are going to say when they see/hear my new full exhaust

Is there an official TSB out for this? I don't believe my car has this issue, but I'm curious...

Its really only apparent to me when at the dragstrip, or shifting above 6700rpm

I don't believe there is a TSB at this date for the problem

Yup. High-rpm, clutch-stabbing shifts is where it affects you. It kills me because I know I'm losing time because of it.

I haven't had any issues yet, but then again, I don't know if the pedal assembly is any different.

I've gone up to redline plenty of times without noticing it. But hopefully I can try again today and look for it..

My favorite are onramps or tollbooths

My car was built May 31... It has already been in for a clutch repair(different issue)

Maybe the tune(higher redline) is exacerbating my issue. It was severe at the dragway, killed my mph

Was your clutch repair for bolts backing out?

that could be true. So is the issue essentially that the clutch does not spring back after shifting at redline? I believe one of the tuners made a video on it...

Exactly, pedal sticks to the floor at a fast shift

Yep. Usually it sticks for only a fraction of a second (still enough to throw you off) but there are times when it won't come off the floor unless you go back and get it.

Determines when it was built. Typically, Job 2 is when they implement changes that aren't major, or they find that need addressing mid-year.

So Ford issued a TSB for this very problem, but it's for cars built on or before 4/25/10. According to my door sticker mine is a 6/10 car but I still have the very issue described in the TSB. I guess I'll take it in anyways.
