Re: Boss Transmission Issues Poll Discussion Thread
The Boss does have a unique clutch. It's possible the wrong clutch was installed in that car from the factory but it's not a systemic problem. Mine was removed and reinstalled and it was a Boss clutch. Still having clutch problems though.boro92 said:FWIW, I've been going wild researching this issue.
I stumbled across another thread on an alternate forum (which I will reference below) which highlights the issue a little more. Turns out, a gentleman with a 2012 boss had some clutch problems. He returned it to the dealer and it was repaired under warranty. They key findings were:
1) His car came with a non-Boss specific clutch. Infact, the part number was identical to the GT (PN: CR3Z-7B546-C). The entire plate/assembly is from the 2012 GT.
2) Like others here, the cause of the issues were weak return springs
3) The technician was infact able to order Boss specific parts (!!!) based on the car's VIN. The said owner now has a boss specific clutch assembly in there!
So far, he reports no troubles since the warranty work. I wonder if this issue primarily affects 2012 cars, or if it also affects 2013? My suspicion is that 2012 was equipped with GT clutch parts, and 2013 had revised, Boss specific parts....but I have no basis for this suspicion.
The thread I'm referencing for those interested could be found here: http://www.boss302forum.com/topic/15124-clutch-assembly-replacement-4000-miles/
What's funny is that I swear I read somewhere in one of the earlier magazine articles about the Boss...that the Boss did come with a unique clutch
