I finished installing an exedy stage 1 clutch kit. (I bought the Ford tob).
I have a horrible squeek when I push the clutch in. Once I release the clutch it is completely gone.
Any ideas? I really don't want to open this thing up again.

I have read about every thead on the board about squeaking manual transmissions on mustang forum. And it's a plethora of good stuff. I'm just not experienced enough or have the patience to work this out. I'm going to the transmission shop by my hous. I feel like I'm admitting defeat but I don't think my hands caN take the beating or my back can handle any more concrete floors for a while. I will post the result.
All Indicators point to the tob. But I replaced that with the Ford racing tob as suggested by everyone. with the new headers in place and sounding fantastic btw, I am not about to go in and look

Well my car is in the shop. Hope it's simple. And fast. I'm Driving It To Tampa Thursday

Problem solved. Apparently I thought I torqued all the bolts on the bellhousing. Turns out when I let engine down in place (I was doing the headers at the same time) it still had a small 1/16th inch gap between the bellhousing and the engine. The transmission shop is tightening that down now and I will have it in the morning. Im posting the problem Just so we can add one more end result to the knowledge base.

When it was all jacked up I had the bellhousing flush. Though the bolts were tight. But I think doing the headers and manipulating the engine and transmission up down left and right I never got it completely tight

Turns out the cable bracket on top of the transmission was Stuck in the top of the bellhousing. Got it squared away and all is good! So excited
