2001SilverGT Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 My clutch started to slip on my 2009 GT500 with a build date of 11-13-2008. Bring the car to my dealer. They say the clutch is simply worn out and is not covered by the warranty.. I've been driving Mustangs for 20 years and never had a clutch issue. They say a new clutch is $3000 . My case is almost identical to Texastinlegs. He had his clutch replaced under warranty. I just called Ford Customer Service (in Canada) and I expecting a call back Wish me Good luck Guys!

rsfdiver Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Went to dealer again today after they did 'research' on my clutch slipping issue. They said should be about 3 days to replace the clutch and flywheel. When I got there They said about 3500 to 4000 bucks. I told them I noticed it slipping at 15,000 miles but thought it might me the tires breaking loose I really noticed the slip in 4rth gear at 20,000 miles. They told me it isn't under warranty anymore, I read them the "what to tell the service manager sheet", the latest tsb rev 4, along with telling hm I am still on the first set of tires and brake pads. That I can drive a standard better than anyone in their shop. That I got 200k out of a clutch in a ford 86 Ranger with occasional bass boat towing. They said they would like to help seeing I bought the lemon from them and bought the extended service plan and all. I am allowing them to take it down and look at it and the service manager said he would look at it and get with Ford and see if they would help. $400. I told him I didn't have 4 grand replace the clutch and flywheel and that if they weren't going to fix it right never mind, I would fix it myself with what should be in the car. 15,000 miles on a clutch no matter what, I call bullshit.

patsgt500 Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 Well,dealer confirmed bad clutch.Ordered parts from latest tsb.They just got to work on it today.went in to have a look;input shaft looks a little dry,could not really tell how much wear on friction material not having anything to compare to.A fair amount of wear into the flywheel,plus the flywheel has "spotty",bluish marks around the wear area.Also,when looking at the pressure plate/discs assembly,are the discs attatched to the pressure plate somehow?I always thought they wers seperate pieces.Can anyone comment on what i have described here?Thanks in advance.

Could you please advise where to find the "what to tell the service manager sheet" so I can print it out also? Currently dealing with the same issue on my 08 vert, and dealer is telling me to pound sand! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
