Hi everyone, I have the Dark Horse, Manual transmission and handling package.

I am hoping I can adjust when the clutch engages. (not sure what that is called)
For mine, when I let the clutch out, it only catches at the very top when releasing the pedal. So lifting my foot, it engages at the top.
The pedal itself has a fairly long push to the floor.
I am finding my entire leg has to lift up every time I shift.

Is there any way to adjust it so that it starts to engage earlier?

Feel free to correct my terminology. LOL

I appreciate any advice,

Thanks

Thank you for asking. I have the same experience and I'm more used to it being lower for sure. Maybe at the middle is the highest I'd prefer, but this one seems even slightly higher than that.

Yes. This is similar to the engagement point for my DH. It was very similar with my 2019 Shelby with the Tremec. I believe my Focus RS was high but not as high (been awhile)

Not sure about warranty if adjusted/changed.

Mine is the same, really difficult to drive smoothly.

I'm probably talking way over my head since I'm a noob to all this stuff. Would swapping out the clutch spring to a lighter weight one help with that? Guessing it's the same spring as the GT at 130lbs... I'm probably wrong though, haha.

I don't believe the clutch can be adjusted as it is hydraulic and uses the brake fluid that is connected to the brakes. The only way maybe making a change to the slave cylinder distance to the pressure plate. If it is not set correctly the clutch will not disengage. Setting must be correct.

Not from the factory. Google Mustang Hydraulic Clutch adjuster and you'll find some aftermarket solutions. I swapped to the Steeda assist spring and it takes away some of the vagueness of the pedal but the engagement point is still near the top.
