My brother has a 1966 mustang with a 289 V8 and a 4 speed hurst shifter. The problem we are having is that first gear its super hard to press the clutch in. Its especially hard when we depress the clutch as well. It feels it wants to snap back the second you beging to press it down. The funny thing is that it only feels that way in first gear. Do you have any questions or tips on why it does that?:shrug:

It should feel the same in every gear. The gear has nothing to do with the feel of the clutch. Maybe you have something loose, Z-bar pivots, clutch pedal bushings or clutch Fork?
