weird squealing/screeching noise

RedDevilGT · March 7th, 2009, 10:10 PM

Ok, i really hope somebody can help me out with this. Recently I was driving and my car just started making a really loud squealing/screeching noise from under the hood, but the noise would stop as soon as i pushed my clutch in. I suspected it was my serpentine belt cause it was pretty cracked and old. Well i changed that and the noise came back, but it stopped for about a week or so. Today i was driving again and the noise came back worse than before and it didn't stop even when i pushed the clutch in. I started smelling something from under the hood and my clutch pedal started getting really soft. So now i'm suspecting it's the clutch but where could the noise becoming from and why did it stop when i pushed the clutch in? What are some of the things that could be wrong? The car has almost 71,000 on it. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

ill talk to a friend about it tomorrow and see if he knows, but i have no idea.

My car has been doing the same thing and it's the Throw Out Bearing so it sounds like a new clutch is the very new future. Trust me the noise will only get worse.

RedDevilGT · March 8th, 2009, 05:16 PM

Yeah the noise is definitely getting worse. Thanks for the help

A friend and i are going to change out the clutch on tuesday. I'll let everybody know how it goes!

bigl34461 · March 9th, 2009, 08:56 AM

it's usually the throw out bearing that makes that noise, which means your clutch is about to go. Get a new clutch and make sure ti comes with the bearing

RedDevilGT · March 9th, 2009, 09:07 AM

Yeah i called all around tonight and got some prices on clutch kits. I made sure it is gonna come with everything i need.

winnie51189 · March 9th, 2009, 11:21 AM

Cheapest I've found is the Spec 1 on Mustang Parts & Performance - American Muscle they, can't beat their prices

RedDevilGT · March 9th, 2009, 02:10 PM

I actually was gonna get that one, but it was out of stock. It's so bad that i have to change it now :/

winnie51189 · March 9th, 2009, 03:02 PM

I'm in the same boat as you. I was going to get it but I'm waiting for it to be back in stock. I guess one good thing about my coolant line breaking off is that now I have to wait to get my clutch fixed. Hopefully they will be back instock when I get the rest of the car fixed.

white03v6 · March 9th, 2009, 04:20 PM

make sure to remember to update us once you get it changed

Yeah i was gonna wait but it's my daily driver :/

RedDevilGT · March 9th, 2009, 06:35 PM

And i'll definitely keep you guys posted

winnie51189 · March 9th, 2009, 06:37 PM

Mine was until the clutch, until it's fixed I'll be driving the Jeep

RedDevilGT · March 9th, 2009, 06:41 PM

must be nice to have a backup haha

Clutch, Pilot Bearing, Throw-Out Bearing, and Input Shaft.

RedDevilGT · March 10th, 2009, 02:30 PM

went to go change the clutch today but the shop was closed until tomorrow :/. I'll keep you guys updated

white03v6 · March 10th, 2009, 03:47 PM

all rite man, sounds good

winnie51189 · March 10th, 2009, 05:09 PM

Where did you end up getting your clutch from and how much did it set you back? AM is supposed to have the clutches restocked towards the middle of next week. So it looks like I'm waiting. Even without the discount AM is without a doubt the best bang for buck one stop shop.

RedDevilGT · March 10th, 2009, 05:41 PM

I got it from autozone. I really wanted the one from AM but like i said, it's so bad that it has to be changed now. If it wasn't my daily driver i wouldn't mind waiting lol
