Don't down shift every time you stop, you will double the wear on your clutch that way, push in the clutch and coast then use the brakes to stop, that what they are for!!!!I don't drive it all that hard but I do down shift it pretty much every time i stop. I appreciate any input.
One way to check the clutch is to drive about 35-40 in 3rd or 4th gear then shift to 5th and floor it. If the RPMs stay the same or drop a little, you clutch is fine. If the RPMs go up then your clutch is bad. My car has about 66,000 miles and about 40 runs at the track and I am still on my stock clutch, but about 85-90% of my miles have been on the hwy so that help a little.
I'll try that, thanks. My wife took the 'stang to work today so I will see if she says anything. I do see a lot of stop and go driving pretty much every day so I know that's not good for it either.

Don't slip it too much when you start off, a quick release at 1500 RPM that almost bogs the car is the best way to start off for average driving.
I have over 125,000 hard miles on my Bullitt's original clutch and I have a 92 Camaro TPI with over 200,000 miles on it's original factory clutch so I know a little on the subject.
