What a shame Ford didn't put a better shifter/clutch set up in these, your not the first person to have trouble with the clutch.
I'll sell mine before i start taking apart a new car.

Nice shifting op imo sg is the best color for making the 2013 mustangs look high class it just really makes the cars appear expensive to me. And just curious but have you got your a/c running while on the track?????? If so they kick you out for that at every track I've ever run at.

My track wont kick you out for AC, they just nicely ask that you please dont use it.
Sucks that your having tranny,shifter trouble. What times did you run.
Love the way you did the filming from different views.

^yea what he said they look inside your car before every run and when lining up to run and again where you grab your slips. Every time making sure your ac is off. But basically yes it's because you don't want condensation to leak onto the tires while running on the track.

thank you, 13.3 couple times. I tested tranny the other day at home and it snaps from 1st to 2nd just fine, but after 3-4 times i felt it was starting to grind into 2nd.

Just a heads up but replacing the clutch parts with Boss specific parts won't neccesarily help your problem as Boss's have the same issues as well. From what I understand, there's hasn't been a 100% fix yet but some have used GT500 parts, along with aftermarket shifter, bushings, etc., and have had "better" luck. And I love the Sterling Gray!

in this case would it be better to do an aftermarket clutch and pressure plate all together?

I know it is different than the GT's dont know how much better. My 12 Boss pedal stuck a couple times and have read same problems with those cars.

I'm sure a good aftermarket clutch set up would be better than most stock units. I'm coming from a Raptor to a '13 Boss 302, so I'm still learning and researching things myself.

Nice
I usually hold the steering wheel at the 7 o'clock position personally
