I was wondering if anybody had any ideas about this..... my mustang has been making a weird screaching sound (thats the best i can describe it) for awhile now. Its something ive never heard before and my car used to make it only when the motor had just started and still cold but now it happens all the time. The weird thing about it though is that it only makes this sound when I put it in gear and am moving because when its in neutral and im just sitting there is no sound at all. Another thing I noticed is that when I push the clutch in just a centimeter (doesnt even disengage the gears) it goes away. It used to stay off for awhile when I did this but now the noise just comes back after a second when I do that. Its starting to get really annoying and I hope nothing is going bad so I need to find out what it is. If anyone has any input please let me know.

Thanks to everyone that trys to help!

TOB???

 

Throw out bearing.

 

+1 on the TOB. mine is doing the same thing

 

Ok i feel like an idiot for asking this but what is a throwout bearing and what does it do?

 

Your Throw out bearing mounts on your clutch fork and goes around the imput shaft into your transmission. when you push your clutch in and it comes in contact with the pressure plate it spins with the pressure plate. So when you push yourclutch in, your clutch fork doesnt just grind against your pressure plate. I hope that helps you understand.

 

+1 on throw out bearing exact same thing happened to me

 

+1

And good explination by the way... very well written answer.

 

ok so does anybody know how much that might be to get fixed??
