95 vs. 96 clutch "feel"

10-02-2000, 06:28 AM

Just curious guys... Have any of you 94-95 guys ever jumped in a 96 and up car and noticed a difference in the clutch feel? I think that my clutch is pretty stiff to your foot after driving my friends 91', but last night I test drove a 96 Cobra for a friend and man those clutches are smooth as butter. What's the deal, did they re-route the cable/linkage in the newer ones, or is mine messed up? Mine has been like that for 30,000 miles, ever since I've had the car. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
Thanks

My brother-and-laws 94 GT clutch feels a lot different then my 97 Cobra's. The pedals in the same place, but other then that...

Its a different tranny (T5 vs T45) so the clutch is obviously different also. The Cobra's is stronger and has a lot heavier pedal, but it does give better feel. It doesn't compare to a good after-market clutch, but I do think it is a significant upgrade over the 94-95.
