Hey everyone... I need some help before I take my Mustang to the dealer, I don't want to get screwed. My car is making a squealing sound. Not all the time though. Sometimes I hear it when I am pulling up to a light, then when I push in the clutch it stops, if I put it in neutral and let the clutch out it will start again, push in the clutch and it stops, and so on. it is not loud at all, at first I thought it was a belt slipping before I figured out it was coming from the clutch, but I don't know exactly what the problem is. Any ideas what it could be? Do you think it is something major? the car has 20,000 miles on it. thanks in advance for any help you all can give me.

Your car is doing exactly what mine is doing. The squealing is the throwout bearing; which you can simply slide under the car and spray with grease for the time being. I am going to replace my entire clutch as soon as I can. Working 12 hours a day kinda sucks.
Not very helpful, but interesting nonetheless...
NAPA actually gave me an 80% plastic throw-out bearing when I replaced my clutch and the throw-out bearing in the kit was wrong... the only part that was metal was the face that contacted the pressure plate fingers and a metal ring right behind it... the rest (including everything touching the shaft and the arm) was plastic.
When I blew my clutch I immediately thought that was the problem, but when I got under there the thing was fine! I still replaced it, but I also talked to a few guys and they said it should be fine to use.
Anyone else have a plastic throw-out bearing? Considering the OEM is all metal and costs the same damn $40 the plastic one costs.
