Clutch slip?

[TitanV8]

Hi all,

I have a 2020 GT with around 12k on the clock.
I noticed when I got it the clutch was super high (so only bites basically when you foot it totally off it)

Ford service did a 1 minute check and said it’s fine. But it does seem odd and hard to control smoothly.

Is this normal? Or has the previous owner burnt the clutch out?

I also notice at low RPM is 2nd or 3rd, if you then put you foot down there feels like there’s a bit of a jolt - which to me could be clutch slip. But I don’t know if this is normal for a Mustang?

Any advice would be great!

What mileage did you buy the car with ? i.e. are you just going on how the car feels now / new to you, or have you had time to notice a change ?

Pretty much the same mileage. Done a few thousand on it. But noticed how high it was straight away. Considering age seems odd

It's a hydraulically actuated clutch - it self adjusts so 'bite' point can't be used as an indication of clutch wear. Clutch wear would result in slip not a jolt.
