Ive got an 02 GT and it has this annoying little squeak that comes from what i think is the throwout bearing.It goes away with just the slightest pressure on the clutch pedal.Ive noticed this on a few other sn-95 and new edge stangs too.I replaced the clutch,pressure plate and throwout bearing not too long ago and the squeaked stopped for a couple months but now its back.Is there a higher quality throwout bearing available that doesnt do this or is there some other fix for this irritating sound?

I always try to use ford bearings. Some companies use the cheaper Chinese built ones.

A metal TOB that is well greased will last a while, it also helps to have the clutch adjusted properly.

when in doubt, use OEM
