I had the car checked out today by the service manager at a Ford Dealer. It was confirmed that the noise is from the TOB (as all of you had guessed) but he suggested that the noise is very minor and is most likely the result of a high-spot on the bearing. He stated that if it were his car, even if he were to do the work himself, he would not as he feels that the effort is not worth it. The cost of the repair is close to $500 which is mostly labor. He thought that the clutch felt fine and that I should wait until the car needs a new clutch before doing so much work.

For now, I will wait until I start to feel any problems with the clutch or the chirping becomes more of a problem. And at that point, I will probably make some trany upgrades.

Thanks!
