2017 GT, 6 speed manual, performance pack w/Brembo 6 piston brakes up front...I run Carbotech XP10 pads front and rear and Continental ContiSport Extreme Contact tires in 275/40zr18. (Replaced stock 19" wheels with Apex EC7 wheels - 18x10; et43 square setup.) Tires aren't the most grippy I've...

What happened?

Awesome! Guessing you stall it occasionally because it engages a little more abruptly than the oem clutch?

How do you like your Exedy clutch so far?

My understanding is parts and labor for mine are being covered under warranty. Mine looked like yours though - pieces of the friction material just broken off the rivets. My service advisor said my driving didn’t cause the failure. He said it was something defective about the clutch.

Update #2: The clutch was covered under warranty because the friction material just came apart in chunks. If it had just worn down, similar to the way brake pads wear down, it would’ve been treated as a wear item. Interestingly, the service advisor wasn’t sure if the 5 year/50k mile power train...

Update: Ford dealer looked at my car yesterday. They said clutch friction material came off. Ford is covering under warranty.I was thinking about asking them to install an aftermarket clutch. Service advisor said he thought they’d do that, similar how Jeffv8’s was handled. But, he also said...

@steveespo, That’s helpful. Does rev matching on high rpm downshifts address the problem?When mine failed, my clutch did go to the floor with only minimal resistance near the end of the normal clutch travel. Almost like the brake feels with boiled fluid and the associated fade...

@JeffV8, I appreciate the additional info and pics. Sure hope your new Exedy clutch holds up better for you.@steveespo, Thanks for the insight re oem clutch not liking high rpms.It still seems odd to me that my 10 year old bmw with more than triple the miles had zero mechanical issues with...

Wow... that’s almost unbelievable. I love my ‘17 GT PP 6 speed but, as described in a separate post, it wouldn’t go into gear mid way through my last session at Virginia International Raceway a couple weekends ago.It isn’t my intent to high jack this thread. It’s just the more I read about...

I get that the clutch is a wear item. BUT, I’ve never dropped the clutch, never done a burnout, and rev match my downshifts. I don’t think I’ve done anything that should cause a clutch, or anything related to the drivetrain, to fail.Do you know why your clutch failed so soon?

Thanks! That’s what I was thinking too. Also, wondering if it’s just gonna break again. (For comparison, my last track car was a 60k mile BMW Z4 6 speed, with original clutch, transmission, and all related parts. Of course it didn’t have near the power or torque of the mustang, but I drove it...

Apologies if there’s another post that already addresses this. I searched repeatedly with no luck.I drove my mustang at an HPDE at VIR 2 weekends ago. Halfway through my last session on Sunday afternoon, the car would not go into gear while the engine was running and it started making a high...

I haven’t seen any indication of this issue on ‘17 gt pp with 17k miles. But, I haven’t specifically checked it either. It sounds like it’s a common problem that I should check and repair proactively...

I haven’t personally run with Chin. Several people I’ve talked to who have run with Chin describe the group as professional and said it was a good experience. They didn’t say anything negative.It might be worth noting that they did say the majority of cars were high end. Ie, Ferrari, Lotus...
