For some reason, by cra makes a preiodic squeaking noise, that it relative to engine rpm. I thought at first that it was one of the pullies on the serpentine belt, but I noticed that the niose was coming form underneath the car more than under the hood. THen I also noticed that the squeaking only occured when the clutch was out and my foot was not toutching the pedal...if I toutch the pedal a tiny bit (just barely putting pressure on it), the squeaking stops. This leads my to belive that the throw out bearing is bad. Does this sound right to anyone else? Could my problem be fixed simply by adjusting the clutch so that there is always a tiny bit of pre-load on it, or is that a no-no that would wear out what's left of the life on my T.O. bearing.
I really don't know if the bearing is bad, or if it just needs adjusting. If it helps, my car is a '94GT with all original equipment, and has 56,000 miles on it. SHouldn't the drivetrain components last longer than 10 years and/or 56,000 miles?
