I decided to start a new thread on this issue since it's such a widespread issue among Boss owners who track their Boss, and since I got some rather interesting news direct from Ford.
My Boss is at the dealer now, and one of the things I noted was the high RPM clutch issue, explaining when it occurs and how to reproduce it. He said he'd do some research with Ford in the hopes of finding something as opposed to the proposition of drag racing my Boss on the street to try to reproduce the issue.
According to him, this is the word from Ford:
"The clutch pressure plate has weak return springs, and the pressure plate needs to be replaced".
You heard it here first!
So, the dealer did not have to attempt to reproduce the issue fist before getting the go-ahead from Ford to replace the pressure plate.
If you find yourself in a similar situation, then the decision you need to make is whether you want to have another go at the stock pressure plate, or go aftermarket.
