Clutch Pedal on the floor
I have experienced the 7,000 RPM clutch stays on the floor situation recently.
There also must be a clutch disengagement problem too as shifting would be difficult in the higher operating RPM's
I have flushed the fluid out of the clutch line and replaced it with DOT 4 fluid . Then vacuum bleed the system , which did not alleviate the problem.
I seen this discussed , and the consensus is to remove the "assist spring" .
Has anyone taken the car in to the dealer Under Warranty and reported this problem? Did they have a solution? Did they fix the problem? If yes , what did they do.

The removal of the assist spring took care of the problem I had with the pedal sticking to the floor, but not the problem with high RPM shifting. Even the MGW I put in only partially helped with that. I think we just have crappy clutches and transmissions. Nothing that a T-56 Magnum XL and a McLeod clutch on't take care of!

Eh it is a little cheaper if you use the JPC swap they have dons, I believe. On the other hand removal of the spring has helped but doesn't fix the issue as some have stated on BMO and here as well. I think people have brought it into dealers and they haven't done much if anything. SVTP's Hybred loved her car but couldn't deal with the issues and eventually bought a CTSV wagon. (so jelly)

I only had this pedal sticking problem once. I upgraded to JPC SS clutch line and never experienced it again. But others claim this does not solve it for them.

Ford Customer Service contacted me after Deysha notified them of my issues with the pedal stayout. Went to the local dealership who was previously contacted before my arrival, they sent notice to Ford engineering in regards to the problem. The old 2011 TSB obviously isn't applicable, however, they are currently aware of the ongoing issue but as of yet no fix is in sight. She stated that the more notices that get sent to Ford engineering, the more likely a fix would come quicker vs later. We shall see .......

So here is an aftermarket solution that sounds logical and relatively low cost. Ford racing already has a similar solution they use for the Boss 302S & 302R...maybe they should just make a it a TSB replacement part. (Watch the video.)

I'm experiencing the clutch pedal not coming all the way up with a high RPM shift. Happened twice. I thought I broke something at first.....I've read these post, but has anyone found a cure through a dealer or their own experiments? This really makes a disappointing aspect to an otherwise outstanding car....

I was in the same position a year ago. This confirms my decision to trade-in my 2012 Boss was a good decision, as engineering was aware of the ongoing issue back then, also with no fix in sight back then. I couldn't enjoy the Boss with the clutch not working above 7K RPM.
