I am with you on being disappointed. The clutch is the only let down I have with the car.jeepinocala said:Clutches are pretty simple you have your master cylinder with a resivior that holds the fluid then a line to the slave cylinder that pushes the pressure plate springs allowing the clutch to release. This is absolutly rediculas if it is a clutch problem, being such a rare problem ford should take responcibility nobody should be having any problems with the trans/clutch they are to damn simple to be going through this. I did have 3rd to 4th lockout this past weekend with the regular black key it just made me so damn pissed. I love the car but ford has disapointed me very much causing me alot of extra cash along the way to make this car right.
just unsubscribe from the thread.......PeteInCT said:May i suggest that this thread stop being used to whine about potential issues with the clutch and focus on defining the problem and potential solutions. We all know some people are having issues. We also know that a vast majority of us are not. I personally am tired of reading how the Boss sucks in one way or another. If you have a real issue take it up with Ford, do what you can to have a successful outcome and use that to help others. Otherwise, watch soap operas instead.
Moderators - kill this if you must, it's OK. I just think this forum is too damn good to be wasted on useless chatter. I doubt very highly that ChuckP intended all of this to come from his initial post. He was just reporting the facts.
thats the problem there is 20 threads about the same thing. Same complaints over and over and over and over. Same useless solutions that dont work over and over and over and over.5 DOT 0 said:It would be nice if we could stay focused on a solution. We do have a clutch/trans discussion thread so please use it. It can be found here:

make the poll and the other thread a sticky. new guys that come in arent going to find them. I am good at forum and have trouble with the search feature here you have to know exactly what you are looking for.5 DOT 0 said:One of my goals for the poll and discussion thread was to centralize those comments so we don't keep rehashing this issue in every other thread.
Anyone that has a problem with their tranny/clutch needs to get it documented at their dealer. Ford isn't going to act on owners complaining on a forum. Owners need to complain to their dealer and get the issues documented. I've had my issues documented twice already and am ready for a third time.

Done. I was going to do this originally but there are a lot of stickies in the general forum. I moved a few things around to make room.Justin said:make the poll and the other thread a sticky. new guys that come in arent going to find them.
Pete, I respectfully disagree with you on this. I absolutely LOVE my Boss but it sucks in many ways as track car even if Ford promotes it as such. I may be spoiled by owning 4 Porsches which needed nothing more than tires and brake pads to be track ready. Changing pads alone on the Boss is stone age compared to my Porsche. I would still rather have my Boss than an $80K Cayman R but that does not mean there are not a few things Ford could do that make the Boss a MUCH better track car. BTW: it looks like my clutch slave cylinder has failed. More to come on that.Justin said:just unsubscribe from the thread.......PeteInCT said:May i suggest that this thread stop being used to whine about potential issues with the clutch and focus on defining the problem and potential solutions.

what are your symptoms? mine are at higher rpm the clutch will get very stiff and most times either come up only half way or not at all. and will have to be pumped a few times to restore it to normal height. I am leerie to take my boss in as it has a few mods shifter and DS among others listed in my sig.ChuckP said:Pete, I respectfully disagree with you on this.
