I am starting to suspect my MC, as it is the connection between the brakes and clutch which have both been giving me issues since new. Does this stuff sound like an MC issue?
New- won't let me into 1st about 1/10 times at a stop, about 1/5 times it went in it would kick out when release clutch
800 miles- the 1st gear issue got a little better but started having issues with 2nd and 3rd
1200 mile- brakes spungy but got a little better, clutch was ok then started to hang half way down
1500 miles- bled clutch and it was full of muck and the 2nd and 3rd issues went away
2000 miles- started refusing to go into 3rd above 5500 rpm when warm. I figured out how to finesse it in, which almost always works. 1st starts having some issues again
2500 miles- brakes would surge really bad and not slow down the car right - continues until I get it home and have time to rebed the brakes (today). They are about 95% better now as far as the surging after rebedding, but it still wiggles a bit on hard braking which it has done since new.
I kicked on ABS on purpose today, and it did not feel like the surge. The surge does not have the same mechanical feel, for lack of a better way to describe it, and is not as intense. My rear rotors look odd as well, instead of being smooth the surface rust (like all rotors get when the car sits a bit) has been scraped off in a sun's rays type of pattern. Almost like the pads are skipping as they grip.
Does that sound like an MC issue? I have heard rumors of Ford replacing them on a few Bosses. Also one of my bleeders on the Brembo is leaking, from the stains looks like it has been a while. The bleeders on that one were super tight from the factory and had the most air in them.
