I never experienced that, but often experienced the 1-2 grind and 4-5.

Ive personally seen the pedal on the floor on a stock 1k mile 5.0. Lmao sick stuff.

Yeah, hell yeah. Love em. But that rustles my jimmies how ford hasn't even acknowledge the OBVIOUS transmission/clutch issues.

big hammer

it's kinda funny. the mustang needs a clutch and tranny upgrade, but those cars are ****** awesome. the ZL1 needs a tune to run properly, but what a steaming pile of ****.

Lmao so true, a buddy that goes to my job has one white, those zl1's are great looking cars! He's a rich kid. I told him to drop some weight out of it with wheels and he said "Eh what for? Ill just trade it in when the LS7 Z28 comes out". ******* lucky bastard.

Yeah it happened to my buddy going from 2nd to 3rd at high RPM's also. Id swap out the clutch asap!

big hammer

yeah the boss is particularily bad because you shift it around 7400 bone stock.

Sometimes I feel trapped in the twilight zone... GM had clutches sticking to the floor since 1997 and I still see people posting about it with new GMs. I can't rip on Ford when it's hardly a Ford issue.

Idk have never had problems with gm cars. My 05 gto or 05 V never done it. Also my GT500 never done it.

Not shocked at all, for all we know it could be a small cam. Not all cammed LS1's are created equally.

The Camaro should have done better though.

Yeah same here my friends 98 with 120k didn't have issues until recently then he replaced it with the 01-02 stuff and it was fixed. My car has 104k on it and never had an issue at all with that.

This is a first, have yet to hear or see a new 5th gen with clutch pedal sticking issues? I know GM had the issue with the pre 01-02 LS1 f-bodies but it took them 2 years to fix it. Ford hasn't even acknowledged there current issue which is a bit more than just clutch pedal sticking to the floor.

Buddies 2011 Camaro SS did it numerous times..C6Z guys have complained over at CF as well. I've seen it a lot in person and on forums with various GM cars.

I follow rangers hints to keep my clutch working and it still acts up on me.

Hell my buddies bone stock fifth gens drive shaft fell out lol. Bottom line guys... no car from the factory can take abuse without there being a problem... period. If you think it can, the car isnt the problem.

With a shift pad upgrade (fyi most transmissions including 6060s and t56s run plastic pieces and parts needing upgrade) the advantage with an MT82 is the forks are beefy stock, and the pads are seperate... you can just replace the pads and be done. The factory clutches are junk


Oh and if i havent told anyone. The "factory mcleod twin disk" In the boss 302 is just another shitty Valeo single disk clutch. I could slap whoever started that rumor. Regardless it has a real mcleod twin disk in it now which was 13lbs lighter then the stock assembly.

I said it before and ill say it again. You cant call the transmission **** unless youve seen inside one. Short of changing shift pads.... theres really nothing worth "upgrading"
