Just looking for some ideas. I've used chain lube, and tightened the hell out of the cable, which made it a little better. However, when it gets hot it still squeals.
How do YOU stop your TOB from squealing?

Yeah, I'm on my third one.
Yeah, this one has about 4,000 miles on it.
Yeah, I have LT headers and have to remove one to get my tranny out.
Yeah, I don't have the facilities to do it in anymore.
Any more contructive answers?

Yeah, I tried tightening it up, but it seems to want to squeak no matter what. I know some people lube it with white lithium grease, but I figured that chain lube would do the trick and it didn't.
Keep 'em comin' guys.

Yes, it does stop with pedal pressure, but for some reason, it never stops if I tighten it more. It's really weird. I don't want to tighten it so much that the pedal feel is all messed up and it's hard to shift.

Mine does it, and now that I think of it it usually only happens when the car is hot! I'll prolly buy a adj. cable/quadrant to see if it fixes the problem. Save me alot of time tearing the tranny out!

Ok here is why I said replace it you have proably burned the grease out of the throwout bearing. It can happen from having a misadjusted cable to tight constant pressure on it against clucth. See it alot with people with adjustable quad. Doesn't matter how long it's been in there once it starts I doubt you'll get it to stop. Pulled one lastweekend thing was shot had been in car for 3 weeks was almost seized.
LT yeah that's what I've heard and hence the reason I don't have any, if someone knows a brand that allows tranny removal without removing them please let me know.

Well, this one is supposedly a heavy duty bearing from centerforce. It sucks. My cable was adjusted properly when the thing started squealing and I have since tightened it to stop is as much as possible. I would have to pay someone to replace it for me as I no longer have the tools or facilities available to me to accomplish it.
And yes, mine only does it once it's hot.

I have been having the exact same problem lately, my TOB squeals when it gets really hot outside/driving on the freeway for long distances. Put a little pressure on the clutch and it goes away... I was planning on pulling it out and doing the clutch at the same time, however I didnt know that you have to remove a long tube header as well? Anyone have any tips on this? What clutch/TOB should I go with? My car only has 39K on it, seems a bit premature for a TOB to go out...
Well, I love my Centerforce Dual Friction clutch, it is pricey at $300. Do not get a centerforce TOB, as I've gone through 2 and they both sqealed within 3000 miles of putting them in.

Bassani mid lengths! You do need to remove the collectors with a slide hammer, which is simple, then the tranny comes right out.
