Me and my dad just replaced his clutch in his 94 Mustang V6. We put in a new clutch cable (used from a 99 GT), brand new factory replacement clutch (not ford Volant or something), and had the flywheel resurfaced. We filled the tranny with GM Syncromesh, and took it for a spin, it feels 100x better than before, but the pedal is really springy, and soft. My clutch on my 94 GT is pretty firm (stock clutch/cable 133,000 miles :D) and he was wanting it to be firmer. Is anything wrong with his, i mean it feels good, just soft. Its not loose, or anything. It takes NO effort to get it down, and it pops right back up. :shrug:
 
New clutches are always easier to push in than old worn out ones. It is probably just lighter than you expect because it is a V6, so the clutch doesn't have to be as strong. I can get you a stage 3 clutch with a higher pedal effort and more clamping power, but it sounds to me like he has the clutch effort all the V8 guys wish they had.
