My first car was a 2005 Mustang V6, the 2nd is a 2018 GT. From the get go, I have noticed differences in the clutch. Initially, the clutch would make a "whirring" sound on shifts over 5000 RPM. My dealer said it's normal and I should double clutch to avoid that sound (either way not the point of this thread). I just had a few questions because based on reading around, I would like to know if what I am experiencing is normal or not for a twin-disc and dual-mass. At 5000 KMs, I have noticed the following:
1) This clutch does not like being slipped. Now maybe I am using the term wrong, but you're either dumping the clutch or slipping it and I prefer to slip. I do not think I am excessively slipping it, like in 1st gear, but I prefer a controlled release of the clutch. On any high speed/high RPM shifts with a controlled release of the clutch, I get vibration in the clutch and it feels like the car vaults forward. It almost feels like the clutch has too much play or is slipping. Curious if that is normal? If I dump the clutch it's perfectly fine.
2) On cold start, the clutch feels very smooth, no issues. After driving for about 10 mins, I am now noticing vibration in the clutch. I wouldn't call it crazy excessive, but not as smooth as on cold starts. I have read twin-disc are noisier, is this also normal? I am not hearing noise but just feeling vibration, on both pressing and depressing the clutch. The fact that it only does it once warm makes me think it's not.
Thanks
