squeeling noise when releasing the clutch?

[86_Cobra]

every time i let the clutch go this noise comes up, now the car was sitting for a long period of time without driving, could it be that the clutch cable needs to be greased up??? (rebuilt t5 with a new clutch kit and release bearing, done just over the winter)

bet its the throw out bearing, mine does it too...


does it stop with just a little pressure on the cable?

 

[86_Cobra]

yeah man, but this stupid noise pisses me off and i dont know is there anything that can be done, is there a specific reason why it does that?

damn throw out bearing ...... hate it when that happens

replace your t/o bearing and lube it up good with grease... thats about all you can do, but you have to drop your tranny to do it. 30 dollar part, big job... not fun, if it REALLY annoys you drop the tranny and bellhousing and replace it. but personally, its not worth it. i had the same problem, but im taking care of it with my engine build right now when everything is on a stand =)

before you do all that, do you have preload dialed into the clutch cable?
that was ford's solution, and it is widely recognized (nearly everyone has preload in the cable). this does the same as lightly pushing the pedal down. so if pushing the pedal a smidge eleviates the problem, dial in preload.
good luck.

thanks for the suggestions

Mines been doing that for about 3 yrs now.Just turn up the tunes
How do you adjust the preload? Its all stock so.....

you need an adjusttable cable or a firewall adjuster. put around 10 pounds of preload in it. or get it tight (no slack) and tighten it a little more.
