Does anyone know if the clutch is hydraulic or cable driven? Also the throttle, is it cable or computer?

Been wondering this as well. Other vehicles with ecoboost engines use throttle by wire, so I would imagine it is the same with the ST. Its been the trend for a while now, although cables can be a bit more responsive.

FBW throttle I am sure and a hydro clutch.

I'm not to sure what FBW stands for?

Now I see what it is......lol

The clutch is supposed to have good feel to it. It's not too heavy, and it doesn't take off the second it's not pinned to the floor

As much as I despise the TBW in my Fiesta, I have faith that Ford dialed in a lot more sensitivity into the go-pedal. I need to make a video of the crazy things that throttle does in my car... It makes it really hard to shift smoothly due to the throttle's tendency to hold the revs for some reason... I'll never understand this. It's not as bad as my dad's old Mini Cooper S, though. That car's throttle response was simply dangerous.

FBW means Fly By Wire or electronic throttle , not cable actuated. We mash a pedal, the sensor in the pedal talks to the computer the computer then controls the throttle.
