I have a 2019 GT350 that I purchased about 3 weeks and 1.5K miles ago.

Its got ~17K miles on it now. I've noticed that at low speeds, the clutch pedal can feel a bit "sticky". I'm not sure how else to describe it. At times, it feels like it isn't doing much and then the engagement and motion happens all at once. It never actually sticks to the floor or doesn't rise or anything like that, it just has a bit of a "sticky" feel to it.

I've seen that various assist spring delete options are for the 2015-2018 and aren't applicable to the 2019 and up. I had the dealer take a look while it was in for the front left suspension creaking sound, but they said it was operating as normal so I'm not sure where to go from here (if there is anywhere to go, maybe I just get more used to it).

Anyone have this experience?

That sounds like it has a factory return spring. It's not sticking the spring has a quirky spring tension rate. Do not remove it replace it, Steeda return spring will solve that.

Do yourself a favor, harbor freight pliers, cut a notch in the tip.

Holding the spring, will really make the install easy.

Unfortunately, there's a note on that page that says incompatible with 2019-2020

It appears that the GT350 clutch spring is a double spring design, which still can be upgraded for improvement.

Unfortunately I do not believe this works with 2019 and newer models.

@brokenblinker, You’re right, I just read thst the 2019+ clutch pedal design was changed. I wonder if your car could benefit from Clutch Tamer at www.clutchtamer.com? I just bought the Hitmaster 2 stage version for my 2019 Bullitt. I haven’t installed it yet.
