THROW-OUT BEARING
Ok, so this **** is getting old....My throw-out bearing is making the squeeks again. If I replace it, it will have been the 3rd time in 2 years. What the f*ck make it go to **** so quick? If i were mechanicly inclined I would do it myself, but I don't know how. My check engine light is always freakin on, and now there is a rattling noise in the engine too. I take care of my car. It's garage kept, I keep up with all the oil change and basic **** that I can do. It might be time for a new car.

RE: THROW-OUT BEARING
Some shops don't know what they are doing & just replace the bearing & not the retainer. I believe there is a company that offers a stronger than stock TOB & Retainer. I know you can get one for a T-56...
What is your car throwing for a code? Since it's always on, have you ever pulled the code?What steps have you taken to determine the rattle is something internal?
Don't get yourself too down on the car, there is plenty of things that can rattle & make noise around the engine.

RE: THROW-OUT BEARING
Well the rattaling only comes when I start to drive. I can here when I slowly roll by a wall and here the sound from the engine (hopefully you know what Im talking about). Oh I have no idea what the code is for, I belive what I was told....was that it was the gas cap was not screwed on....ok. Its on as tight as it goes. Trust me, I love my car don't get me wrong, but it seems like all the little things are starting to happen all at once! Hell my cd changer broke a couple of weeks ago, and then my front left speaker goes out.....WTF! I just need to get everything up to bar and then buy a beater DD. Never let the stang leave the garage! Except for weekends.

CD players are cheap and eays, same with the speaker.
As for the engine noise, take a long screw driver and put the handle end to your ear. Try to find the noise.
That noise could be anything from a loose exhaust hanger, heat shield to an exhaust leakk. Don't automatically assume the worst...
