Looks like it's shop time - TOB & Quadrant

well my TOB started squealing about 2-3K miles ago, barely noticeable, but just enough to annoy me..

It chirps more than anything, about 50% of the time.. outside of the noise I haven't had a problem..

Now in the last 200 miles I think my clutch quadrant is screwed up.. When I fully depress the clutch I hear a decently loud bam/slam like something hitting something else, if that makes any sense.

The car has 11,700 miles on it and I really don't beat on the car..


Ideas, comments, suggestions?

The quadrant is stock..

I'll probably just have the warranty work done on it as well as the TOB TSB.

I wonder what cause the quadrant to screw up.

Do you have a stock Quadrant? If so you might be able to get a nice aftermarket piece to cure that problem. Otherwise Id say start putting together a list for a Clutch, TOB, Input shaft swap :dunno:

You know my 01 has just starting squeeking and its got about 42K....so I can imagine the TOB is rubbing the surface a tad...nothin big...Im going to actually wait until it gets pretty loud and then get a centerforce dual friction.

My brother 96 cobra TOB went out at 76k and man it got LOUD super LOUD, he got the whole clutch asembly replaced. So i have no idea why yours is doing this at 11k? :dunno:

Well the TOB has a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) on it so it's a warrantable issue, and a factory defect.


the confusing part is the quadrant...

I really don't beat on the car...
