Steeda's S550 Mustang Clutch Spring Assist 35 lb/in - Now Available!
Your 2015-2016 Mustang comes with a 185 lb/in clutch assist spring installed from the factory. This high-rate spring is what causes such a vague and disconnected clutch pedal feel (many of you have experienced this). The clutch pedal travels in a circular arc, with the spring assist in the middle of that clutch pedal travel. The middle of that motion compresses the spring initially and then allows it to extend after the first 30 degrees of travel. The combination of a high-rate assist spring and motion of the pedal during engagement causes a non-linear and sometimes confusing pedal feel. Having a non-linear pedal feel makes it hard to modulate the clutch on your Mustang GT, EcoBoost or V6.
Steeda S550 Mustang Clutch Spring Assist 35 lb/in (15-16 All)
Many new Mustang owners have found that taking out the stock OE spring will give you somewhat similar results, but realistically the clutch becomes far too heavy especially if your Mustang is daily driven. Most owners fail to realize the prolonged effects of simply taking out your factory OE spring and not replacing it with another spring. By negating your factory clutch assist spring you will notice chatter/NVH from your clutch pedal. Your clutch pedal will never fully return to stock position without any assist spring, and over time your slave cylinder may begin leaking due to constant pressure on its seals from the clutch pedal not returning to the stock position. Avoid these problems in the future by installing our Steeda S550 Mustang Clutch Assist Spring 35 lb/in into your GT, EcoBoost or V6.
Our 35 lb/in clutch assist spring completely replaces the factory 185 lb/in assist spring. Our engineers have honed in on just the right amount of spring rate to get you the perfect clutch pedal feel you look for in a Mustang. This assist spring is manufactured from piano wire that naturally has high tensile strength and high elastic qualities. Our piano wire spring ensures a consistent spring rate and minimal sag even after repeated use. With the addition of our clutch assist spring, you will notice a much more linear feeling clutch - the reason being is that we take out much of the influence involved in your clutch pedal motion caused by the assist spring, allowing you to feel exactly what is happening with your clutch engagement.
Key Benefits:
- Improve clutch pedal engagement feel
- Modulate your clutch engagement with ease
- Piano wire construction with high tensile strength and high elastic qualities

We've already sold a bunch of these, in stock and ready to ship!
I pulled the clutch spring from my 15 Mustang over a year ago and 21k miles of daily driving.
I still find the clutch feel quite light, certainly lighter than any other manual car I have owned. It is also very linear feeling with zero chatter and fully returns every time. There is zero NVH change by taking out the spring.
I would recommend trying your car without the spring before investing in a different spring.
Me too. Haven't pulled my stock one yet, but I'd consider this.
I'm wondering if it's even any different...I don't see why there'd be any reason to change from what the S197 used...either way I'd like to see one as it bugs me that the clutch pedal doesn't fully return.

What car are you talking about that the clutch pedal does fully return? On my 15 after 21k miles without the factory spring it has fully returned every time.
Nothing yet, I will ping them to see where we are at.
Here is a review thus far of the S550 one:
Nicholas J Rousan Installed it last night and I'm happy. The stock spring made it difficult to feel the clutch engagement point. No spring made the pedal feel heavy for daily driving and annoying in traffic. The Steeda spring gives a balanced feel that provides more clutch engagement accuracy.
I installed mine this past weekend, and drove the car for the first time this morning. The difference is night and day, and makes the S550 clutch feel very similar to the S197/TR-3650 setup. Sitting in traffic, it might prove to be annoying, but the weight is great, and engagement is crisp. This should be the stock spring!

I sincerely appreciate your feedback & support - glad you are enjoying the clutch spring
