The "clutch rod mod" for 2005-2010 Ford Mustang models equipped with the 5 speed & 6 speed manual transmission eliminates problems associated with the infamous plastic "Mickey Mouse" bushing located in the eye of the clutch master cylinder pushrod. The plastic bushing is notorious for wearing down and/or cracking and breaking, allowing for excessive play between the pushrod and even extreme cases the factory clutch rod end breaks completely leaving you stranded on the side of the road.
