git-it-83 said:Ummmm, I thought TOB was only evident when the drivetrain was active, such as neutral with clutch out? Clutch in and squeak is not the TOB.

Tht throw out bearing is used to push the fingers of the clutch pressure plate and release the disk from the flywheel and pressure plate.
It is under the most load when the clutch is in.
Most stangs seem to have a squeak that happens at idle, in neutral with the clutch out, this is usually caused by the TOB rattling in the clutch fork from improper installation or the fingers that hold the TOB to the fork are wore. the fork ball pivot can also be dry and cause the neutral rattle/squeak.
So, to answer the original question, yes, it could be the TOB. It could also be a Pilot bearing, as the pilot is used when the clutch is in (depressed).

you don't have longtube headers.they will kill you with labor charges if you have longtubes.
they pull the motor cause the tranny wont go thru the headers.
