I took my car in to get the T/O bearing replaced under
warranty. They replaced it, and when I got it back it didn't
chirp anymore, however the pedal felt soft and didn't have
enough of range of motion when pressed . I put my foot
under it and pulled up, then pushed down to adjust it. Well, the pedal feels Ok now, but the chirp is back , only
now it doesn't do it when idling in nuetral, but does it when I'm driving. Does the car need to go back into the shop ?
Did I screw it up when adjusting ? How do I un-adjust ?
Any help appreciated. Thanks

hgh...eva since I got my stage 1 Spec clutch intalled. The Throw-out bearing that was provided with the clutch has SQUEEKED. It squeeks when in neutral and when driving. It goes away thought when I depress the clutch pedel though.

If I just leave it the way it is. Will it last long? is this good for the CLutch?

I make runs at the track. I hope my clutch/Throw-out bearing doesnet explode as a result of drag racing?....
 
I did read something about having to pre-load the clutch with like 20lbs of force on SN95s...sorry I don't have more detail...I'll have to dig out the article again. It was in one of the Mustang Mags in the past 6 months. Get a firewall adjuster to get rid of the pedal vibe/throughout bearing noise..to an extent.
Still not happy with my wife's KC clutch done in Feb. You only need to push the pedal halfway down to disengage. Pain in the a$$ when trying to release it - knee hit the freakin steering wheel. Any ideas? I've tried adjusting via the firewall adjuster, but this only goes so far and just pulls the pedal right down into the friction point of the clutch.
