Default Weird noise

I have noticed on my 04 GT that sometimes it makes a squeaking noise from the engine. It’s very noticeable when sitting at a drive through. Anyone have any ideas what this could be??

is it more like a chirp? Does it go away if you push in the clutch?

No, it's more of a squeaking noise. I dont think its the clutch, I only have 27k on the car

Don't look past the clutch.

Slightly push down on the clutch pedal when you hear the noise, if it increases or goes away, you most likely have a faulty throw out bearing, and if it has been squeeking all of those 27k miles and you didn't notice it, it's probably worn the clutch a little more than you want...

Thats exactly what happens in my car. If i have the clutch out no noise. I slightly push it in the noise comes. But if i push the clutch even further down it does away. And my car only has 30k miles. Do you know if there is a TSB on this crap?

TSB # 22334-33: Don't drive your car like an a-shole, it may break something.


Usually, unless the parts were defective from the factory, premature clutch/clutch assy wear is the result of some questionable driving techniques...

Do you do a lot of hard, hard driving?? Dumping of the clutch?? That could be where you may need to ease up.. Maybe your clutch just needs a little bit more adjustment..

I thought I had a squeak coming from the engine...a belt or something...but it turned out to be a bad throw-out bearing.
