My 2017 GT350 won't go into gear with the engine on. It will with the engine off. What do you think is the problem?

The clutch pedal felt weird (limited throw, but it functioned) last time I drove it home. I tried bleeding the clutch hydraulics. No luck. The car has 54K miles. There has been a whine at low speed for a while.

Thanks.

I'm betting the throw-out bearing. They seem to be problematic. I need to replace mine even though the clutch is still grabbing really good.

I thought it might be the throw-out bearing making the noise. Thanks. The clutch never slipped, so I didn't think the problem was the clutch itself.

I had the same symptoms on my 17 gtpp
Hopefully your problem is not as bsd than mine

Yep, it’s what happened to me …twice…until I went to an aftermarket clutch…
The factory “ made in Turkey” clutch can’t handle high rpm’s shifts

Made in Turkey has nothing to do with the tolerances and materials Ford specified and accepted. The only turkey here would be Ford.

Organic material Clutch and 7k+ rpm do not mix..
irregardless of HP and manufacturing location.

After stock failure then Exedy organic.. I‘m changing to Ceramic.

The Turkey reference was to identify the product, nothing else

Just got my GT350 back from the dealer. Here's what they fixed:
"Replaced clutch pedal assembly and clutch master, bled system"

The clutch works again!
