Hey guys,

My buddy just installed a motorsport clutch on his 99 Gt at the dealer. Now all of a sudden it starts sqeaking. When he presses the clutch it stops!...Does anyone know what the problem might be? Im sure its the throw out bearing..but I drive a fox I dont know if for the 99+ what it could be. If so can the ford dealer replace it free of charge since its brand new?

Thanks guys

Joe

I agree, it's prolly the throw out bearing. You'll have to ask the dealer if they're willing to fix it for free, I think they should

Yep, gotta be the TOB. But once the dealership finds out the trannie has already been apart, and recently, they'll likely give you some push back, saying the new clutch was not installed properly. Does he have an adjustable cable or firewall adjuster? If so, it might just need adjusting...

The dealer is the one who installed it.

sounds like it needs to be adjusted, it shouldn't squeak until you push the pedal if anything. I'd bet the clutch isn't fully disengaged.
