transmission problem??
first of all, my stang is a 94 gt with a t-5. my problem is that whenever i am in neutral with the clutch all the way out, i hear a a noise that almost sounds like a squeaking belt. when the clutch is pushed in slightly, the noise changes a little, and when it is pushed all the way in, there is no extra noise. why is my car making this noise?

Sounds to me like you've got a bad throwout bearing.

i'm not very mechanical-- how much do you suppose that would cost to fix, and what is involved in the repair?
thanks greg |

if it is the throwout bearing, which it sounds like to me too,its gonna be kinda pricey if you have a shop do it, i'd estimate about $300, almost all of the price will be in labor, the transmission has to be pulled and then the clutch fork can come out the side of the bellhousing and the throwout bearing can be changed, as long as your in there you might as well put a heavy duty clutch kit in there, about $180 i think and it will come with a new clutch/pressure plate/ and throwout bearing. if you have any friends that can help you, you will save ALOT of money doing it yourself

Agreed. If the T/O bearing is worn, the rest of the clutch assembly should be replaced with it. It would be silly to do all that work and not replace the clutch & pressure plate, too. If you do it yourself, make sure you remove the flywheel and take it to a machine shop to have it surfaced. Otherwise you will have accelerated wear of the clutch disc.
