Default Few questions

Alright, I just bought my mustang...it is a 2000 GT with 22XXX miles on it. Just a few things I noticed and wanted to know if I should be concerned. First, I can hear a faint squeak when I am idling that sounds like it is coming from the engine compartment. Maybe a belt? Second, when I am cruising at constant speeds my clutch will start to vibrate, but if I tap it or just put my foot under it and pull up a little it will stop. Like I said I'm just curious as to what these symptoms could mean and if they are even something I should worry about.

The squeak is probably the belt tensioner bearing giving out.The vibration?????Try using some grease on the pivot point to dampen some of the movement.????

I have that exact same squeek coming from the clutch area in my car. I left the dealership with that noise. At first, I thought It was a new belt. But some friends that are more familiar with cars repairs said it was some kind of bearing thing. I think he said ?throttle bearing?. I'm no mechanic, so I don't know what the hell that is, but sounds like It needs to be fixed. Luckily I'm still under warranty, so I'll probably take it in sometime next week. But this definitely is a concern that Is worth getting looked at before it gets worse. Especially since your clutch is vibrating too. I don't have any info for you on that. My advice to you is to get it checked out ASAP.
