You know I havent had my 2003 GT very long. Since I got it the throw out bearing always made significant noise. Now I am curious if this is common on all Mustangs?
You know , this is a recurring question. They (Ford) have been installing lame TOBs for ever. Either you can spray it with grease (it goes away for a little WHILE), or you can turn up the CD player. The squealing doesn't really affect the function, it's just embarrasing to have a car that sounds like a POS. If you really think they are going to pull your trans, etc. to fix the TOB squealing, go ahead, it's under warranty. Ask to watch. See what they say. They might refuse to let you watch, or, they will spray it with grease. I think we all ought to get togther and complain to Ford. Maybe they read these boards - I hope so.Tylerb59 said:I took mine into the dealer last weekend, they checked it out to 'verify' it was the TOB and I have an appointment for this Saturday (after the parts have come in from shipping) to have it fixed under warranty.
It's an all day process, so you'll have to come in early in order to get your car back the same day.
