Guy's, this is driving me absolutley crazy. I have had a really stiff clutch in this car since I bought it. I had to replace the clutch in Oct. '04. Went with a SPEC Stage 2 clutch. The pedal was great, nice an light. During the 500 mile breakin, I thought it started to feel stiffer. By the time I had 1000 miles on it, it was really stiff, just like the previous clutch. Well, I burnt that clutch up and needed a replacement. Everything associated with the clutch was changed: cable, quadrant, FWA, fork pivot ball stud, TO bearing, TOB retainer, pressure plate, cluch disk... everything. When I started it up for the first time yesterday, it was great, nice and light, easy to use. After the first 60 miles or so, I felt it was getting stiffer. I thought that I might just be paranoid, so I loosened the FWA just a little bit. It instantly felt lighter after the adjustment. So I continued to put more miles on it. Now I have about 160 miles on it, and I still think it is getting stiffer. What is going on?
Clutch pedal getting stiffer during the first 75 miles of breakin!

Mustang clutch Problems
My buddy had the same problem on his 89. He talked to a few people. They told him to grab the clutch pedal and pull back on it. he would have to do that a few times a month but it fixed the problem. Try doing that and find out. Grab the pedal and pull it the opposite way that it usually goes.

sounds like your clutch cable is binding, i had the same problem...
ditch the firewall adjuster and get an adjustable cable from steeda. i had the same problem with my old clutch, then i had a centerforce DF that was really tough to use, i had some crappy clutch cable and i bought that steeda cable for like 50 bucks and it was like i had a whole new clutch, i was amazed at how much easier it was to use, clutch felt like a feather compared to before
