hmmm TO bearing noise?
Symptom is intermittent "howling" noise (and accompanying vibration felt through the shifter) right at point of clutch engagement (and also when clutch is fully engaged at idle).
Car, motor and trans have 91K miles. Clutch has been replaced, and I assume (always a dangerous thing) that the mechanic replaced the TO bearing, pressure plate and clutch disk. I know he replaced the pilot bearing, because that had failed.
What do y'all think. TO bearing or something else?

RE: hmmm TO bearing noise?
Well this issue does need some attention before I get stranded somewhere (maybe??),
So. . . bump. I discovered it will also make the intermittent howling noise/vibration when clutch is fully depressed as well. Does not seem to do it when clutch is fully engaged. Is loudest right at point of engagement. I've never heard what a failed throwout bearing sounds like, so was wondering if any of you could tell me whether I'm on the right track, and if so, should I just live with it or fix it right away? Keep in mind the clutch is new.

Oookaayy, so I ask a question that a person experienced with 5-speed mustangs should know the answer to, and I get blown off.
From that, I can either conclude that either none of you know jack s**t about mechanical issues, or you can't be bothered with helping someone out. Thanks but no thanks.

RE: hmmm TO bearing noise?
give us some time to answer. a lot of us aren't on here 24/7.
i don't know too much, but it sounds like your clutch may be chattering. which is where the disc isn't completely flat against the flywheel.
that's about all i know.
as far as the noise... howling? i dunno about that, but my TB squeaks.
good luck getting more answers
