did your issue with the clutch pedal got resolved. I have an issue with very hard to press clutch pedal. I have a feeling is the clutch so plan to go to Exedy 500 and flywheel in winter but in mean time I have 2 more events and wonder if it's something else as I don't have troubles getting into gear. Only very hard clutch pedal.
Yup. It was the clutch master cylinder line. When Ford replaced the clutch master cylinder under warranty they threw away my Steeda hose and put back their plastic one. I replaced the plastic hose again and it fixed the issue. Air must’ve been getting in the system

I suppose my hard pedal is because of Air in the system will flush it this week and see if it's ok after that. Hopefully will not need a new clutch then.

you def want ceremetallic,

whethere the rxt or an exedy, either one would be great, if n/a the mach 600 single disc would hold up great, the rxt you have is also a great choice.

Feel Free to DM me or call with any questions.

Drain fluid from the clutch line & reservoir, refill with new fluid. Bleed clutch with vacuum applied to reservoir. This might help for now. WHen you replace your clutch replace the throw-out bearing too.

That's exactly what I did and it did help a little. So for now is ok. My clutch according to my Ford dealer is fine for now considering how I abuse it on track.

X-clutch twin disc. Precious owner put it in. Handles the 600+ whp just fine, grips and rips … just rattles like a tin can at traffic lights. Very ‘Ducati-like’ if you know what I mean.
