Any update on your situation / resolution? Having exact same symptoms on my 2017 GT at 9.2k mi and so I'm quite curious how it played out for you.

Hey Jeepers. This was quite a while ago so ill try and keep it simple.
At 19k i convinced the service manager to replace my tob, pilot bearing. While in there he decided the back lash on the tranny was no good . He got Ford to replace my tranny as well. He also told me that my clutch had half life left ( weird at 19k miles) but it wasnt covered under warranty.
I paid to have a new clutch and flywheel. So basically everything new from the tranny back. After breakin of 1000miles i noticed my clutch pedal still had bad vibes around 1500 rpms during disengagment. Shifting degraded a bit during that period as well. It was butter smooth in the beginning.
Took it in tranny tech told me the vibes were from the cams in the engine. That it was reverberation. He said it was documented and if anything happens it will be covered.
Im at 32k miles and its all still there doing the same. The shifts are still notchy, vibs at 1500rpm but it drives. I just beat the living shit out of it in the mean time.

Add me to the list. Mine let go at 39k though. I thought it was mostly due to the fact that I have the roush 727 supercharger on it. Wen`t with the Spec stage 3+ in hopes it could hold the power. All good so far after 3k mile on it.
In the pic only one side was gone. The flywheel side was still intact

I was told that my shifting points are too high for everyday driving normally shifting between 4k and 5k rpms possibly superheatimg the clutch. After I install the Exedy Mach 500 and new oem flywheel I suppose I will correct my shift points.Add me to the list. Mine let go at 39k though.

Thanks for the update. My car has 20k on the odometer and I've finally arrived at failure.
Took the car into my local Ford dealership on a Friday, complaining of clutch pedal sticking and muddy brake fluid. They advised that they could not replicate the clutch pedal sticking, but did hear a bit of spinning noise when the clutch pedal was pressed. So apparently muddy brake fluid at 20,000 mi is a wear item, so I was charged $300 to flush the system.
Two days later on the Wednesday, car breaks down hydraulic fluid leaking everywhere, have to get it towed to the dealership. They advised that they'll need to pull the transmission to look at everything. Come to find out, five days later, there was an aftermarket clutch installed.
I was also advised that the throwout bearing "exploded" and the service manager had never seen that before.
So I am still waiting to hear back from him, he says that he doesn't have the tools to pull the clutch out but he can tell that it's an aftermarket one from looking up inside.
It is sounding like the throwout bearing will not be covered under warranty due to the aftermarket clutch. Is that correct? I have Ford Premium care extended warranty, the top of line one FWIW.
