My 2007 GT has 75k miles, on the original clutch as far as I know. My brother has a 2006 GT with 19k miles, and there is no comparison in the shifting. My 1-2 shifting has a hard notch quite often and it's like you can almost feel the gear itself. My clutch is way heavier than his, granted I know clutches get harder to press with age, but I haven't noticed any slippage and the clutch isn't engaging/disengaging on the floor.
My question is, would my 1-2 shift issue likely be due to a bad synchro since it's smooth in every other shift or is it likely that my clutch is on its last legs? What is the typical lifespan of a stock clutch in a 2005-2010 GT?
If it's time for replacement, do any of you have experience with the Exedy Mach 500 clutch and Exedy lightweight flywheel?
I'm intending on adding FI in 2-3 years after finishing college and having solid, stable income, so that's why I'm looking at the Mach 500.
I bought the car at 58k bone stock from a woman, so there's no telling how many gears have been ground or clutches have been ridden over its lifespan... Lol
