[QUOTE="TexasShelby, post: 8946662, member: 61338"] if you show any symptoms of clutch drag, such as in your garage with the motor running, you should hear a hiss when begin to engage the clutch, if the clutch is all the way engaged and you still hear it, you have a problem. Also under hard acceleration if you feel the tranny "slipping", it's not, its the flywheel coming back and engaging the clutch, you have a problem... Check your build date, Job1 cars had input shafts installed without being greased. You should go directly to the service mgr of your dealership and get to know him, and him you...if at any moment you detect these problems, take it in immediately, if they stall or say anything other than, we'll fix this for you...Call Ford Motor Company and get a rep on the phone and tell him what they are doing. He will fix it... I don't work for a dealer, but I went through that crap with one of the most dishonet dealerships in Texas. So much so, I took it back to the selling dealership and they did the TSB, but then replaced the entire flywheel, clutch assy and a brand new tranny...cha ching, $11K, and was happy to do so. They even called a Ford Rep to come out and take a look see that they were doing everything right. Don't take any 12/12 warranty clutch crap, it's not the clutch, it was the flywheel burning out the clutch. [/QUOTE]
