I recently purchased a used 2012 Boss 302 with 12000 miles.I test drove the car and the clutch engaged at 3/4's of the travel up which seemed high but grabbed with no slippage. Other than that the Boss was in excellent condition and I was able to purchase for $37500 . I was wondering if this was characteristic of the Boss or for all Mustangs for that matter ?

 

Sounds about right.

One thing several owners have reported is the ability to bleed or circulate clutch fluid and firm up the clutch pedal.

Bleed/remove air by pumping the clutch pedal 50 to100 times. This will allow air to be removed from the slave cylinder firming up the pedal.

No cost involved. Give it a try.

Congrats on the Boss. You will love it.

 

congrats. my clutch grabs at probably 1/2?

side note, it's hard for me to believe these cars do that well in the used market.

 

Closer to the end is right. I'd say 3/4ths is accurate. Still tricks me sometimes.

 

Why?

 

I'm not sure I get that either. They're going to hold up better than a GT because of their focused purpose and limited run, despite the fact that most of them are run on the track. Track miles are hard miles but I think this is what most buyers are going to be buying it for anyway.

 

i'm used to euros i guess, amg and m cars lose value by the truck load.

 

That's the same way my clutch is as well. Enjoy the car!

 

Going by the responses I guess I can stop researching clutches . Thanks I appreciate the help. As far as the depreciation of the Boss I think will all be happy with the value of our cars even years from now. I had been looking to buy a Mustang for a few years before I ended up buying the Boss .I looked at GT's, Cobras, Roush and the GT 500.The GT's were the cheepest . 2003/04 cobras in excellent condition still fetch mid to high 20's The Roush's and The GT 500s are all above 30 in excellent condition. As far as the Boss the lowest I found was $36500 But I would of had to have it shipped from out of state sight unseen which I was willing, but then 1 showed up on the dealers lot not far from home .They wanted $41500. It took a little over a month but I got it for $37500 . The limited production run on this car will play a big part in the Boss retaining value.The other factor is the solid performance it's hard to find a bad review of the Boss. It would not surprise me to see the value of the Boss in the 20's or higher after 10 years. We've got a Great Car.

Boss 2856

 

I saw a Cobra R, at least I think that is what it was, in Newport Beach at a dealer for $41K.

Yeah that sounds about right for a Cobra R and I don't think the number is headed down from there either.

Boss 302 #2856

 

Check out removing the assist spring, that **** thing messed with me learning the engagement and once it is removed the clutch is heavier but much more linear, might have already been done if it is used.
