RE: Squealing GT!!
ORIGINAL: joeybutts
I didn't replace anything except the clutch, t/o bearing, pilot bearing. I believe all mustangs are auto adjusting right? if not how do i adjust? I looked at all the stuf and there is no way to adjust. Or is there a way to adjust the physical clutch?

What happens to the "squeal" when you dis-engage, (push in), the clutch?

RE: Squealing GT!!
Your t/o bearing should only come into contact with the pressure plate when you push the clutch in. The t/o bearing should not be turning with the pedal out. If the clutch is out of adjustment allowing the t/o bearing to come in contact with the pressure plate with the clutch out, you might get a squeal from the t/o because it's just sitting there spinning without any pressure being applied to it.
You can try to lift up on the clutch pedal and supposedly the factory clutch quadrant will take up the slack but mine never worked liked Ford said it should have.
Other than that, you'll have to buy an aftermarket adjustable clutch cable or buy a firewall adjuster which will only work on aftermarket cables.
