Steeda's ever so popular S550 Clutch spring assist is now available with a Heavy Duty Spring Perch assembly. Therefore eliminating the chances of you breaking the factory one upon installation or removal.
Your 2015+ Mustang GT comes with a 185 lb/in clutch assist spring installed from the factory. This high-rate spring is what causes such a vague and disconnected clutch pedal feel. The clutch pedal travels in a circular arc, with the spring assist in the middle of that clutch pedal travel. The middle of that motion compresses the spring initially and then allows it to extend after the first 30 degrees of travel. The combination of a high-rate assist spring and motion of the pedal during engagement causes a non-linear and sometimes confusing pedal feel. Having a non-linear pedal feel makes it hard to modulate the clutch on your Mustang GT, EcoBoost or V6.
Many new Mustang owners have found that taking out the stock OE spring will give you somewhat similar results, but realistically the clutch becomes far too heavy especially if your Mustang is daily driven. Most owners fail to realize the prolonged effects of simply taking out your factory OE spring and not replacing it with another spring. By negating your factory clutch assist spring you will notice chatter/NVH from your clutch pedal. Your clutch pedal will never fully return to stock position without any assist spring, and over time your slave cylinder may begin leaking due to constant pressure on its seals from the clutch pedal not returning to the stock position. Avoid these problems in the future by installing our Steeda S550 Mustang Clutch Assist Spring 35 lb/in into your GT, EcoBoost or V6.
Our Steeda S550 Mustang Clutch Assist Spring 35 lb/in completely replaces the factory 185 lb/in assist spring. Our engineers have honed in on just the right amount of spring rate to get you the perfect clutch pedal feel you look for in a Mustang. This assist spring is manufactured from piano wire that naturally has high tensile strength and high elastic qualities. Our piano wire spring ensures a consistent spring rate and minimal sag even after repeated use. With the addition of our clutch assist spring, you will notice a much more linear feeling clutch - the reason being is that we take out much of the influence involved in your clutch pedal motion caused by the assist spring, allowing you to feel exactly what is happening with your clutch engagement.

Hi everybody Brian from Steeda.com, here today spotlighting our Clutch Spring assist for the S550 Mustang.
Most modern Fords equipped with a manual transmission including your Mustang have a clutch spring assist. The idea behind this is, for the spring to actually aid in pushing the clutch pedal down but with the use of a hydraulic clutch system this kind of seems repetitive.
Now the manufacturers had good intentions in that they can use a slightly heavier pressure plate for the increased torque and horsepower these cars have today but the reality is a very vague feeling as you're trying to let the clutch out. You don't feel the engagement point. We have a solution! Let's start with the spring itself. We've developed this to be a much lighter rate, 35 pounds to be exact and want it to be the specific length needed for the rate that we've gone with. This means that when the clutch pedals all the way out, the spring can sit flat, yet it's plenty long when you push the pedal all the way to the floor.
Now the spring is offered by itself. We do recommend that you be very careful if your car has some miles on it or it's a few years old even if it's brand new when you're disassembling the factory spring perch but rest assured we do have a spring perch for you if you damage the factory piece.
The spring perch itself is also an upgrade to the factory unit. We've constructed a durable Delrin and it can be used with the factory system spring or even better our assistant spring. We do recommend greasing the male end of this, for smooth operation.
Now the way to really do it though, is just to buy the kit. This way you can keep the factory assembly altogether, install our kit and enjoy it and when I say enjoy this let's face it, every time you're going through the gears, every time you're shifting, you’re pressing in the clutch and you're letting the clutch out and this is one of those little things that you can do to your car that makes a huge difference in how you enjoy driving it.
