hey guys,
These past few days ive heard some screaching coming from the engine bay when i go by the drive thru's lol..
Once i pres the clutch in about and 1" it stops... do you guys know what i caan do to make it stop? well besides having the clutch depressed

 

Sounds like your throw out bearing, had the same thing with my old 97 stang. The only thing to really do is to replace it, or just live with it.

 

do you remember how much it was? and if you put it on yourself?

 

Well its part of the clutch assembly, you will have to pull the trans, take out the clutch and everything to fix it . I just lived with it for a few months b/c I needed a new clutch at the time anyway. I paid 600 for a new clutch aluminum flywheel and install. Its almost not even worth doing unless your going to put in a new clutch.

 

+1 for the TOB, but your clutch doesnt need to come off to replace it. It basically rides on the output shaft of the transmission, so you'll have to pull of the midpipe, pull the starter and the tranny. If your clutch is weak at all (or stock) this would be a good time to replace it too.

 

+1, its definately your tob, but if it gets too bad it will make a really loud sound like ten times louder than the screaching. Ive said this before on here and i dont know if it works or not, but i read in my manual that if you put your key in the first position( turning it right) put it in first gear, then slowly depress the clutch until you hear a click, the clutch adjusts itself. I did that and the screaching stopped in mine.

 

hmmm just tried what mustangchris09 said and it didnt work for me though but i guess whenever i change my clutch i will get that changed too...
thanks guys appreciate it

 

BTW avoid the spec stage 1 and its TOB... Get a Ford OEM replacement from your dealership... Freakin POS if you ask me. Their TOB went out on me in about 2 weeks...

 

im having the same problem with my new FRPP heavy duty throwout bearing. Its a POS too. i just put mine in with my centerforce clutch and its squeaking already. Im goin to use a regular OEM one next time.

 

I replaced mine when I did my centerforce.... its holdin up so far.
