I have a 92 5.0 w/T-5 that is causing me problems. I have read posts about throwout mbearings making a squeaking noise at idle w/ clutch all the way out then stopping when a little pressure is applied. Mine is doing that but it is also making a kind of grinding noise 1st thru 3rd. Once I hit 4th, it stops the noise. Would the throwout bearing be causing this also?

how is the clutch adjustment? and how is the trans fluid level? i havea feeling either ur clutch needs adjusted, or ur syncro's are shot

I just topped the fluid off this afternoon. Not quite half a quart low.

do you still have the old clutch qwad??

stanmiller3569

No. The guy that I bought the car from had already put an aftermarket quad on. If it is the syncros, what kind of price am I looking at to have it repaired? Any ideas?

BUT... pm 94gtcoupe, hes a good guy, knows alot about t5's, and rebuilds them for cheaper. i can honestly say if i needed that done, and didnt have the confidence to do it myself(personally ill do it myself, because im in school for automotive, and do EVERYTHING myself, but if i didnt...) id comfortably hand it over to him and trust him w. it

Ouch! Sure would like to spend a grand on something besides a repair. Oh well, gotta do whatcha gotta do I suppose.
