Sup guys. I've been reading up on most of the comments made and sounds like you guys have been around the block a few times on knowing what's up, so here goes....2000 GT Stage 1....At idel I notice a squeaking noise? The previous owner had the throughout bearing recently replaced (while under warranty). Since then it's out of warranty and I'm wondering if it needs replaced again, already???



Thanks,

i don't think that it's your t/o bearing. what exactly do you have done to the car?

JFettsRoush

It's just stock, no mods as of yet. I have only had a a month. As I let it warm up, it has a constant chirping noise from the motor. I was thumbing through some of the paper work and that was one of the complaints the previous owner had when the replaced the t/o bearing, so wanted to ask if it could possibly be that again.

Step 1 -- sitting in the car..idling...listen for the noise, then step on the clutch. If it goes away its probably the throwout bearing. Do this first then let me know....

good call dude

JFettsRoush

Well, I did as you requested and the noise isn't present when the clutch is engaged. Why the hell after only 2,700 miles is it ready to be replaced????



Thanks for the info!

I had the same problem with mine. Had to change it three times before it stopped.

JFettsRoush

Is it that hard to change? I've never messed with one before, couple hr project or ? Any tricks to changing it?

spike306

no tricks, just unbolt the tranny and lower it with a floor jack. use your ford mustang book that you got from the autoparts store, follow it step by step, and it shouldn't take more than half your saturday
