installed spec clutch...help?
i just installed a spec stage 1 clutch with new pilot bearing, and FRPP TOB. ive been driving on it for 220miles now and when im cruising it makes a loud buzzing noise but when i let off gas it goes away. it sounds just like a tob. is this normal? there is a chance that i accidentally mixed up frpp tob and spec tob.doh! the extra tob (suppost to be spec) has acc stamped on the bottom. anyone recognize it as either spec or ford? i may be just paranoid and need to let everything seat but i dont think it should be making this noise. im no amatuer when it comes to cars ive installed a hand full of clutches before and never had problems like this, but they were all import (nissans, honda). any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.

After my Spec stage 2 was installed, the TOB (brand new ford OEM part) started to squeak. Its annoying, but the car is louder than the squeak. I think I need to adjust the cable a bit.
I think it just comes with the territory of replacing the clutch with an aftermarket one. I was worried there was something wrong after I replaced my clutch with a stage 2, but the performance shop that did is said that there is more of a transfer of noise with the new clutch because it has a harder surface and doesn´t dampen the sound as much as a stocker. You may just be hearing normal drivetrain noise that is being amplified with the harder surface of the newer clutch.
