Just purchased a 2010 GT, it only has 5300 miles. I noticed today that when I press the clutch pedal down, I hear 1 or 2 'clicks'. It's doing it every time I press it down, and it seems like it's coming from the pedal.

Anyone else have this clicking? It's still under warranty, but if it's fairly normal then I'd rather not mess with it. I did a search but I couldn't find anything very useful.

Thanks!

My 2010 clicks from time to time as well. Not sure how normal it is on these stangs but my 05 jeep wrangler has clicked since it was brand new.

Cool, glad to hear that I'm not the only one getting these 'clicks' in the clutch pedal.

I took it into Ford 2 days ago, they drove it around and said that the pedal was operating normally. I can live with the clicking, especially if it's nothing to worry about. I can't hear them when the stereo is on anyways.

A couple tiny squirts of silcone spray will fix it for at least 6 months.
I hate those tiny squeaks and creaks.

Steve - do you know where I should spray? I saw a couple points of contact down around the clutch pedal.

DONT spray.

its the clutch interlock switch. the switch ensures the clutch pedal is depressed before you can start the car. there is nothing wrong with it. it is normal. if you bury your head up by the pedals you can see and hear when it actuates.

Mike - cool, I won't touch it then, I saw what you described. Either way, I can't hear it as much with the pipe bomb axle back I just installed :-D

How do you like those pype bombs? I've looked at several different Axel backs listened to as many sound clips as i can get my hands on. They are the only ones i like the tone of but I'm afraid they will be too loud. I'm not lookin to be obnoxious and don't want alot of cab noise.

They're on the loud end, but they're not obnoxious in my opinion. There is some drone around 2-2.5k rpm, other than that it sounds pretty smooth. If you don't get on it, they're pretty quiet. I'm happy with them, but I wouldn't keep them on if I decided to add a mid-pipe, I imagine they'd get too loud. They also won't put a huge hole in your wallet, and the tips look pretty good.

Install was easy, hardest part was getting the stock muffler off but that took maybe 30 minutes. They didn't fit tightly against the stock mid-pipe, no matter how hard I tightened the clamp, so I had them welded on for 20 bucks.
