2016 Ford Mustang 5.0 GT. Captain Slow's Pony car adventure
Discussion
Your clutch pedal sticking is a combination of things.
The steeda shifter bushing will help, I have one similar.
The biggest improvement is a braided steel clutch line, I have the steeda line.
Also change the transmission fluid from OEM to royal purple.
Then you want the whiteline transmission mount bushing.
Ultimately, the mt82 transmission is a bad design with a remote mounted shifter.
The proper fix is a mgw race spec 2 shifter. The downside is some cause more NVH.

Here's the clutch line at a great price. http://www.ebay.com/itm/332057342623

Easy to fit?
Yup. About 45 mins work incl. jacking the car.So what, jack it up and access the inside rear of the wing/panel?
Very easy install - just the quality of the connectors used could be better. Make sure to order the 'EU' version, as you need the extra loom to connect up to the number plate light circuit.
Another thing I learnt yesterday - none of the lights on the car have fuses! Its all computer controlled. I short-circuited the lighting circuit and they all went out - spent ages looking for the bloody fuse, realised it didnt have one and then next time I cycled the power they all came back
They look really great.
What's next?!

When I can get around to it, I already have in the garage:
- USDM GT lower grill
- Steeda lower shifter mounting bracket
- *STILL* need to get around to making an appt. for the rear light tint
- Next year I would like a set of 20s, but dont know which ones yet.
- Sort the suspension, choice of 3: Eibach/Steeda lowering springs, KW or Pedders coilover, or the whole Ford Racing handling kit.
- I want to get it on a RR at some point
- BMR cradle lockout kit might be a nice idea too.
Once the wheels and suspension are sorted, I think im probably mostly there.

It's far too late to stop now, the addiction has taken hold.

Great outcome
What was the issue with the seats? It's one function I'm looking forward to.

No seriously, the cooling function often actually heats the seat as the motors cant draw any air and begin to overheat.
Mine had a TSB applied that fixed most of the unwanted heating, but its still very far from a cooled seat (as advertised). So money back.
Good result for you though good work

Ranking highly as questionable decision of 2017....
Doesn't look bad, but it's a bit of snow over sheet ice.
Looks nice but your nuts.

I will not take mine out again in snow unless it has snow tires. I ended up going side ways on the interstate and just manages to get it under control. Never again. Doesn't yours have a snow mode or is that the ecoboost?
Nice car 
Friends of mine unexpectedly turned up yesterday in a brand new 5.0 in black. They'd been yo the USA & hired the little one as a convertible & we're so smitten they decided on the way home they'd get one in the UK. They were surprised that there was a 9 month wait if they wanted a new one but got lucky with a cancelled order in the colour they wanted. The only thing it hadn't got was heated seats which they'd have liked.
