[QUOTE="Jason Shivers, post: 16660854, member: 202095"] Hey all, I know that I'm a few years late here but I just joined the forum. This has probably been discussed somewhere within the forum but I couldn't find it so please forgive me. My '14 500 is stock other than a K&N cold air and filter. I bought it new in October of '14 but it was shipped to me in Georgia from a dealer in Colorado. Not long after getting it (around 500 miles) Ford replaced the clutch because presumably some knuckle head or salesman wore it out on a test drive out west before I bought it. So, the clutch is a stock Ford clutch. Here's my point...damn it's a hard car to drive. I have just under 8,000 miles on it and still have a hard time taking off from a stop, especially on an incline. I stall it at least once almost every time I take her out. The clutch is crazy high AND super stiff. My understanding is that is how it's supposed to be but I would love to make it easier to enjoy.
