Mustang's Squeaky Clutch

I noticed this problem with my own 2003 V6 and now with my 2004 Mach 1. The "squeaky clutch" problem has plagued many Mustang owners alike. The problem is with the throwout bearing. There has even been a TSB (technical service bulletin) about the problem. The only issue is, even after getting the problem fixed at your dealer, the squeak is most likely to come back.

The solution...upgrade your weak, stock throwout bearing with a heavy duty unit from Ford Racing Performance Parts.

The heavy duty unit features a self-centering bearing design that will outlast any stock or "replacement" throwout bearing installed at your dealer. Available for all manual transmission Mustangs from 79-04. Install one of these and get rid of that squeaky clutch!
