[QUOTE="Snoopy49, post: 13267672, member: 138649"] I had the same problem with my 2013, my daily driver was a 1995 F-250 PS diesel with a 5 speed manual transmission. Talk about stepping into an alien environment, the trucks clutch engages just off the floor and it take quite a bit of throttle pedal movement to get the truck rolling. The GT500's clutch doesn't engage until the the last 40% of pedal travel and the throttle pedal is super touchy and requires very little movement. I have driven manual transmission cars and trucks all my driving life and this car required a bit of time to get use to. I removed the clutch assist spring and that made a major difference in driveability. The clutch engagement point is now totally predictable and the engagement is smooth. The clutch is a little grabby until it gets broken in. In my case it took about 300 miles of in town stop and go traffic before it smoothed out. Good luck with your car. [/QUOTE]
