just recently instaled a zoom street/strip upgraded clutch on my 97 gt with the help of my dad. clutch went in with no problems and works fine, the only thing is, this anoying rattle when the clutch is engaged (clutch pedal vibrates, and theres a continuous "squeak") i think the squeak is from the TOB but im not sure because its brand new. ive tried the quaderant adjustment trick but it dosent seem to take the rattle/squeak out of the pedal. also when shifting gears as i release the clutch out i can hear a tick or pop sound twords the top of the travel and thats when the ratteling squeak start. any help would be greatly appreciated

 

That's really weird, becuase my brother's 2000 GT did the same noise, but only when he completely destroyed the throw-out bearing.

 

Actually my mistake, his "popped" when it met the end of the pedal travel and only made the noise completely compressed, but still, it sounds like you just described what happened to his car.

 

I have the same "pop" at the end of my pedal travel aswell. Along with the constant ticking. Its driving me nuts I think ill stick my hand up in the tranny to try and grease it. Also do you know if there's suppose to be a gap inbetween the tob and pressureplate or does it rest on it 100% of the time

 

Update: took the stang for a spin this morning and it drove like a dime. Clean shifts no squeak or popping noises. I noticed it starts to make noise when it gets hot. I'm thinking the grease job might do the trick.

 

My 06 use to do this when it was really cold, Just means you need to drive it harder...or you could add some grease if you really want too.

 

Now the release lever is shakeing like a bi*ch. I wounder if it came off the ball stud. Guess me and my old man will have to rip the tranny back out again uggghhh

 

Yeah man hell with it, just rip it apart again...best to replace it now rather than when you're on the road giving it a chance to cause a wreck or some crazy **** and put your whole ride in jeopardy. Anything can happen and anything is possible.
