Cars Making Loud Chirping Noise. Need Help.

joshdj13 · December 3rd, 2011, 11:49 PM

i think my manual trans is making a loud chirping/squeaking noise, but it could be something in the bottom of the engine. its been making a quiet chirping/squeaking noise but when i almost had a semi hit me head on while i was leaving the gas station i dumped my clutch in reverse and goosed it. now the noise is loud like a sliping belt but in the back of engine or the transmission also my breaks seem to want to scrub but the pads and rotors are a week old. please help

if the noise goes away when you put pressure on the clutch pedal its your throw out bearing.

yep sounds like TOB. mine did the same. would go away completely as soon as the clutch pedal was pressed even slightly

joshdj13 · December 4th, 2011, 12:03 AM

yeah it does seem to go away when you press the clutch in. what about the scrubbing? like i said it sound like the breaks but could my clutch be grinding/catching?

my rear tires make loud chirping noises, seriously though alot of people w/ the same generation Mustang are creating threads about the TOB, must be that time of the year for TOBs

joshdj13 · December 4th, 2011, 12:11 AM

is there a preferred bearing to buy or can i just get one from autozone?

always buy a ford tob. NEVER buy anything different.

What about the TOBs that come in the kits? Would you still buy a Ford bearing instead of using the one provided? Just wondering because I'll be replacing my clutch in a few months.

it seems alot of guys have bad luck with any other TOB other than an OEM/Ford piece. thats what i used when i put in my SPEC clutch

NEVER USE AN AFTERMARKET TOB

i just wanna make sure im clear

aftermarket TOB's will start making noise shortly after the install.

<<--- this dude found out the hard way

joshdj13 · December 4th, 2011, 10:43 AM

is it still ok to drive with or is it something that i need to park the car?

JoshC! · December 4th, 2011, 02:08 PM

itll be fine for a while but it is something youll want to think of replacing.

esonu · December 4th, 2011, 02:50 PM

damn i guess thats my problem too lol. how much does it cost to get it replaced? or is it worth it to change the whole clutch at the same time?

JoshC! · December 4th, 2011, 03:15 PM

if youre in there, its not a bad idea to just replace the clutch too. cost will depend on if you do it yourself or take it to a shop. different shop will charge different amounts.

joshdj13 · December 4th, 2011, 05:29 PM

well it looks like the ford tob is b/w $40-50. i plan to do it myself so i hope it doesn't take too long. i've only replaced one and the car was on a lift so i hope its not too bad with the car on jack stands.

JoshC! · December 4th, 2011, 06:47 PM

ive done it on stands. its time consuming but can be done.
