How much play up top do you get with the clutch pedal? It should be less than 1" before feeling resistance. With brakes released, clutch depressed, get in 1st. Does the car "lurch" forward or clunk?

Clutch pedal still feels fine and stiff. No my car doesnt lurch or clunk forward when going into 1st with brakes off. However there is a clunking NOISE going into 2nd, but after some research on the forums, people say its normal.

The 6 gears have walls that block you from shifting when the clutch isnt depressed. This is where im feeling resistance when the car is in motion, and it is a lot more noticeable going into 2nd and 3rd.

I spoke to a friend at work who has a 2010 Mustang V6 and he says he has the same problem.
