I was at a stop light today and i tryed to shift into 1st to go. Then it wouldnt go so i rocked it and it went in. I let out the clutch and it didnt move. i then tryed to take it out of gear and it was stuck. i ripped it out of gear and tryed again.(meanwile im getting honked at) it wont move. so i jammed it into gear and by some weird turn of events it moved. so i rolled to the side of the road and it died. my dad and brother got it to work sorta but it smelled like mad clutch burn. So it got towed and now its at ford. Probally a burned out clutch.

yeah, a clutch after a few months sounds like you tore the hell out of it. were you doing like 7k rpm launches or something? how many miles are on it.
Also before you pay anything call FORD of america and complain to them. Both aly and i have gotten stuff fixed for free that the dealer was going to charge us for. the manufacturer sets aside money for that kind of stuff. so yeah, call the big guys and give em hell that even if you beat on the car it shouldnt have broken already.
if you end up having to pay then maybe you should try doing it yourself. it'll most likely be alot cheaper then paying ford plus you'll get to know your car a little better. Just be prepared to set a side a few days to do it.

and with all that money you save you can throw in a nicer clutch that can take some beating
