No, actually it was pretty random that the ET is the same. Both runs I didn't launch as well as I wanted. Adrenaline plus long wait had me dumping clutch too soon. The higher MPH is definitely from shifting at 5750 rpm instead of redline, therefore staying in torque curve. Anyone else have...

Update 93 gas and clutch spring I ran twice. It was super packed (one hour plus of waiting prior to each run), and I still need to improve my launches. 14.481 and 14.487. Last time with 87 gas and the lame-O clutch assist spring I ran a few 15.2s and best time of 14.79.

UPDATE: After about a week, maybe 5 days: either my leg got stronger or the thing broke in, because it almost feels "normal" now. I mean initially removing the spring, I felt that it was sort of stiff, but in a good way. Now, unless my mind is playing tricks on me, it is starting to feel...

You def need needle nose vice grips like those in the YouTube video link posted earlier in the thread to do it without breaking anything. Home Depot was a fail and only had terrible Chinese knockoffs that wouldn't do the trick. I went to Lowes and got name brand Vise Grips needle nose (8 or 9...

I have had "clicking into 2nd gear" and other gears problems since day 1 and its been driving me bonkers. I am assuming it is the thud referred to here, it is almost a thud. Anyhow, aside from being all around awesome, removing the clutch assist spring helped with the "clicking" big time. Its...

It also partially solved my "clicking into 2nd gear" and other sporadic clicking into gear problems. Not 100% gone, but if I do not baby the box and shift like you normally would (not fearing any clicking )it does not click! added bonus. If I try to shift slow and avoid the click it still...

Awesome! My best run with the PP and manual was 14.7 My launches were terrible. Redline 1st gear and shift 800 RPM before redline for each gear after? Sounds about right. If you get the "optimal" shift RPMs for the PP please post! I definitely did not redline all gears on my fastest run...

Cool video. Are these Autos or Manuals?

I have an EcoBoost performance package and Ive seen people hitting 5.7 in snowy conditions with summer tires. I'm assuming 5.5 is doable stock. I have yet to break into the 5s range, but one problem was for sure my clutch assist spring. After removing that (today) and becoming "one" with my...

No, it feels the way I believe a clutch should. Definitely daily drivable. No straining or workouts involved. Just smooth shifting and feedback for great driving. I see 0 downside to it whatsoever, and TONS of upside. I was downright giddy driving it just now.

I have a driver door rattle by the tweeter, but its not the speaker. I can press in the space between the door and the dash and it goes away. Rattles are super annoying. Can I take it to any dealer to have them remove the door panels and check it out? Drives me bonkers

UPDATE! I took out the clutch assist spring today and WOW. I shaved 0.6 off the 0-60 time and it feels like a new car! Clutch feels stiff and shifts smooth like a sports car should. Launch problems solved. Guaranteed ET time going down. Ill post again after next track trip. Long story...

Holy Mother of a GUN!! Its a whole new car, solved my launch problems and shaved 0.6 off my 0-60 and that will only get better when I get used to it. I feel like a goon for not doing this sooner and doubting my abilities. Im 100% convinced that spring cost me at least half a second on my...

BOOOM ITs out. nothing broken. Going driving!!!! Vice grips with clutch depressed, jimmying/ pressure on vice grips and shes out! Thanks ALLL!!

I got the Vice Grips and was able to compress the spring, but I cannot get it to slide over the pin. Also 30 seconds must be for experts lol, I am 6 ft tall and its almost impossible to press the clutch, use the vice grips and maneuver down there. I could slide it sideways off of the pin...

To solve any PC issues, I could purchase the iphone option (SCT iTSX) and be good to go sans computer? I can take these questions offline by sending via email if that's easier. New forum guy here. I appreciate the help

That might help, I would guess you can feel it engage much better? I find it relatively difficult to feel the engage point currently. I will look into that. Thanks!

After just having taken my 15 Ecoboost to the track last night... I am dying for a tune. Great write up. My issue is Mac related as well. I could partition and do a windows boot, but I would prefer to use a mac. I have my old partitioned hard drive around here somewhere with windows xp if...

As far as the stock EcoBoost Manual clutch. How would you rate it? My pedal is super soft and when dropping the clutch I would expect it to spin the factory summer tires. But oftentimes the clutch seems to grip well and cause the engine to bog. Which I guess means its doing its job, perhaps I...
