[QUOTE="200MPHCOBRA, post: 13942120, member: 29964"] Try this test. Warm up the car. Put it in neutral. Put your foot on the clutch, push it down a quarter of the way, then rev the engine up the scale. If you feel a back-pressure on the clutch pedal as the rpm's climb, you are probably going to have shifting issues. It is the pressure plate causing the problem. I suspect the pressure plate is flexing from centrifugal force, and pushing the fluid out of the throwout bearing. You push on the clutch and the pedal drops to the floor because the fluid has been pushed into the brake reservoir and the helper spring has nothing to resist against. I have a Boss 302 that will not speed shift at high rpm and also has had the clutch pedal hit the floor after several hard launches heated up the drive-train. Caveat: I have an manual 06 Mustang GT that does not exhibit any of these phenomena. [/QUOTE]
