A week or two ago I took the stang out of storage, haven't driven it much, but the weather has been nice the past few days so I've been driving it more. The past couple of days I notice a noise coming from under the car while driving. And sure enough the Throw-out Bearing is churping and sqealling away again. If I press the clutch with ever so slight a pressure the noise stops. This is my second time that this has happened to me on this stang. The last time it was the same noise and the same behavior, thus same problem.

BUT last time I had it replaced under warranty. What are my options Now? Do you think it's still covered as they didn't fix it the first time. As it has only been 15K since they changed it the first time.

Let me know what you think.

As long as you're under warranty, they'll fix it for you. I had mine fixed for free but it took all day to resolve (Need to drop exhaust, transmission to get there).

A temporary solution is to lube up the TOB with lithium grease from the service panel, but that only seems to work for 2-3k.

My TOB is acting up again, and have just learned to deal with it. Another option is getting an adjustable clutch quadrant and having it set to apply a minimal amount of pressure so the TOB stops squealing.
