Just a quick question. I have a near stock GT 5speed and when I get on it in 1st and depress the clutch to shift to 2nd it feels like it disengages hard. Its not earth shattering, but just not what I am used to. I am not sure if this is pretty normal for a 5.0 or not. No grinds in the tranny, feels smooth otherwise no other problems, grabs good. Its a KC clutch btw.

Its probably ok, the car while accelerating is still ( under load) so to speak when you push in on the clutch so it feels like that, Especially with stronger than stock clutch, youll get used to it, or maybe it your driving

That makes sense

I decided I was going to drive the car more this year, so far I only have 400 miles to my credit on her.

Yeah, that KC clutch grabs like a mofo. Shouldnt be my driving...all I am doing is off gas on clutch how hard is that? lol.

I figured you knew how to drive. Yeah the stronger clutch does that, Its more noticable when your just trying to cruise around, instead of running it hard.
