After that, there's now a ticking noise that increases with engine/tranny speed. It goes away when I push in the clutch though. Could it be that the throwout bearing has come off of the fork and is rattling? Or worse, is it my tranny? In 3rd gear you could always hear the gear whine a little louder than the other gears if they even whined, and the ticking is louder in 3rd as well. Does this mean anything? I know that I could add a little fluid in it. Could clutchless shifting today have been the cause? I'm worried about this thing in that my other car is down with a bad AOD, so I'm hoping I don't have a bad tranny in this one. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>st5150</b> <br /><small>Member # 51</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,2,11,21,50,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Sounds like a throw out bearing to me.

If the bearing retainer is grooved up, you should replace it as well. Some people have gotten by with sticking a coat hanger or a wooden stick with axel grease on the tip through the side of the bell housing. This is obviously a hack that works for some people.... I have no idea if you're a hack or not <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> The fork is a solid chunk of metal, I don't see how it could wear. The fork's pivot ball on the other hand can wear and is replacable. Do you have an adjustable cable/quadrant? Maybe you can get by a little bit longer by adding more tention on the cable? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>5.0Brian</b> <br /><small>Member # 262</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,2,12,19,23,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> UPDATE:<br />After driving around some more I have realized that the car will not make the noise only when I'm stopped with the clutch in.
