annoying T/O bearing squeal.

[97MattGT]

it's getting annoying. Clutch and new throwout bearing were put in last November, about 10,000 miles ago.

It's starting to make that high pitched annoying sound all the time unless i put some pressure on the clutch pedal.


would a steeda/upr clutch quadrant and firewall adjuster help at all? I'm sure if this keeps up i'm gonna grenade another bearing, and droping the tranny to replace a $15 dollar part sucks the fat one. :-?

Well it's the only way to get to it, I am not sure if the quadrant/cable will do anything to help it. I think the the cause of it's the fork design and not the in the cable/tensioner. I agree, it does suck, every newer mustang I have owned with a T45 has done it :(

i just got a tip that spraying white lithium grease on the t/o bearing and input shaft will eliminate the squeal.


T's having the same problem too, so i'm gonna buy a can and see if it works.

honestly, my 83 did the same exact same thing... the new owner bitches about clutch chatter now... expect clutch chatter, because itll happen sooner or later... the t-5's and t-45's were fucked up like that..
