Throwing out bearings

[kneedragger]

I have gone through 2 throw-out bearings in my clutch witing 6500 miles. I bought the car new and it has only 7900 miles on it. I have never had this problem with any of my Mustangs, or any car for that matter. Has anyone else had this experience? I have been driving stick since 1986 and have never had to replace a clutch before. Any ideas? Thanks

I am on my third TOB at the moment. 13,500 miles. Ford has a Technical Service Bulletin [TSB] out now that addresses this problem. If you have repeated failures of the TOB Ford will replace the retainer as well. There is more info on the topic at www.svtperformance.com in the "Terminator" forum.

What were your symptoms? I just got a brand new transmission under warranty, and as soon as the car (&tranny) heats up, its impossible to put in gear. What should I get. I should upgrade the clutch, but what else? Do I need a clutch quadrant and firewall adjuster?

I'm at a loss

My car was hard to shift into gear and the clutch started to chirp alittle. Clutch was kinda slipping alittle also.

WHAT!!!!????

What dealer gave you a brand new T56 with your mods??? I want to go to that one for my TOB

I work w/ 3 Ford dealerships and have developed some pretty good relationships w/service advisors. I took the service advisor golfing a month ago (for work) and he tossed a new T56 in my car. **Quid pro quo**


Although it doesn't matter, b/c I don't think there was anything wrong w/the tranny. Its someting else.

Golf, that's good. :cool2:

Anyway, the tranny/TOB threads (here and on SVTP inbetween all the FIPK and tick threads) have me wondering about the New TKO 600. Will the TKO 600 be a better, more durable tranny than the T-56 like when we all have built solids with Mickeys and 600+ Whippled RWHP?

oh dealer i am going to kill!!! They had to replace my throwout bearing and they tried to void my warranty on it.. They said I had been racing.. And when i got my new TOB on.. the clutch felt so much lighter (i am pretty sure it was a defect on the factory..

My TOB started making noise at about 8,000mi. Really growling at me when I pushed in on clutch and slight chirp with clutch out. It would come and go so I knew dealer would probably say 'they don't hear it' so I waited to take it in but still heard it daily. Anyway went to cordova last weekend to get some close to stock times(before I throw the pulley on) and I haven't heard the TOB since The thing made noise for about 1000mi now nothing.
