TOOT

I just purchased a 02 manual GT. It has welded sub-frame connectors, cat back exhaust, 70m throttle body(stock intake w. silencer removed, fram air hog filter), shorty shifter, & a adjustable clutch. The problem that I'm having is that the clutch is making a annoying cricket type of sound. The noise is made whether the car is in motion or standing still at idle. The only way I have found to stop the noise is by pushing in the clutch just a tiny bit and then the noise stops, but of coarse it can't be driven that way.
Sorry for the long story just wanted to give as much detail as possible![sm=icon_blah.gif]

sound like a throw out bearing either you clutch need to be adjusted a little tigher or you need a new throwout bearing

How do I make this adjustment?! The car is still under the dealership's warranty 30 days/ 1000 miles. I made a appointment for Thurs. but if I can do correct it myself.......

if it is a stock clutch put your foot behind the clutch pedal and pull bakc should click or pop then compress it to the floor if its aftermarket pop the hood look on the firewall should take a alan wrench and a turn by hand

I have the same issue in my 03 GT. So this pedal trick should work right? My clutch is stock from what I can tell, but I did buy the car used. But if the pedal trick doesn't do it...is the throw out bearing the problem??

I have the same problem.. Sounds like I will try the adjustment as well. Also, if I pull the pedal towards me it moves a long ways..Does that mean I need to adjust it?
