May be the fact that I haven't driven it in a while. Well anyways, it seems like the clutch is (not sure of word) but I come almost all the way up before it starts to grab?? I didn't think that was normal. Also while driving I can shift with out using the clutch? Is this somethink that is supposed to happen? I would hate to accuse some porter at dealer of messing up clutch, but I don't think it was like this when took it in. One more thing anyone know if it would be covered under warranty? 2000 Black SVT #1929 of 2150

Did they give you your car back all cleaned up like they're supposed to Also did they replace that cabin filter while it was in there?

It feels diff. when I start driving it again...if you want to think foul play go right ahead. What was the service for, and better yet what dealership!?

But if you got an extended warranty there are four different choices. Just drive-train and etc. Point being all warrantys are different. 90' Bright Orange Mustang 65k - 13.306@105.1 Looking for another CSVT ~Blas~
