Well this happened yesterday.
For some reason the car would not go into gear at all after I stopped at the Valero the other day to add more air to my tires... I did manage to get it into first but it took a lot of effort. All the other gears you could forget about getting it into gear. For the past 2 weeks its been driving weird, like the clutch pedal being loose feeling and difficult to get into gear but not too difficult. I knew something was up also because the throw out bearing began squeaking like it had before a month ago.I attributed it to one of the annoying things about our Mustangs because a lot of members have complained about their tob squeaking after a new clutch job. But being at college I was just hoping I could get home and then figure whats wrong with it. Its aggravating because I changed the clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, pilot bearing and all the other essentials in December and have only put 3,500 miles on it.
So any ideas what could have caused this? I think the TOB was defective and took a dump on me or there is something wrong with the clutch. By the way the parts I used in back in December were
-Exedy stage 1 clutch
-Ram Billet Steel flywheel
- Ford Racing throw out and pilot bearings
All of the parts came from American Muscle and I did the work myself with a friend who is a mechanic, he has done 4 other Mustang clutch jobs and the rest are running fine so I don't attribute it to us not doing the work properly. I also believe that because I have driven about 3,500 miles since the swap and followed the proper break in procedure of driving 500 miles easy with the new hardware.
Currently the car is in a shop in town getting diagnosed, Ill recieve a quote as to how much this is going to cost me...
