I have a 96GT 4.6 stick shift. when the car is cold it shifts fine,but when it warms up- I have to force it in gear. when the car is turned off it goes in gear fine, but that is starting to get worse as well. when I turn the car off and push the clutch pedal in and start it - it jumps forward alittle like I dont have the clutch pedal pushed in. just had the ford dealer put a clutch in it(cost 1,600.00) no lie. its a cable clutch. when I got it back it shifted fine after about 2 months it started acting up. Its my only car. any one have any ideas please

same thing was happening to me and the culprit was a stretched out clutch cable (was an aftermarket adjustable one and a racing clutch). It might be something else, but that is what mine was with the exact same problem.
It's something to look for I guess. Is there a bunch of slack in the cable? Is it all bunched up or loose on the motor side of the firewall?

No prob.

I would also take it back to the dealership to have it checked out. (parts will still be under warranty, labour might be as well if it is something other then that).
