It makes a noise when I push the clutch in or let it out (which I suspect is the throwout bearing?) and I'd really like to not get stranded. I've got the 3650 and I'm kinda curious if anyone here has burnt the stocker out or knows how much abuse it can handle. Also, are there any improved throwout bearings available? __________________ http://www.shaunhamptondesign.com/Sigs/FS01a.jpg

Abuse? I've still got the stock clutch and launch w/ slicks at 6000 rpm. 60k miles also. Still feels great. It doesn't hold 100%, I can tell alittle shifting into 4th at WOT but its barely noticable.

Naw they are all the same. Ford released a TSB about them back a while ago and since updated the part. I have an extra one in my trunk. lol. I used the updated part and it made noise about 8 months later. I put it up because of winter. Ripped it back out and put in another one and no noise since. guess i got a bad one. Oh well. They are cheap.
