new guy with problems

hey wats up, my names joe, i have a 1990 mustang 5.0 5speed...i recently went with a spec stage 2 clutch. I drove the car for about 800 miles with the new clutch and now when i step on the clutch pedal, it makes a clicking noise almost like when you have a loose rocker..it goes away once and a while but comes back....i put the throw out bearing that came with the clutch set...it felt cheap...im wondering if that could be it? thanks in advance

was it a plastic throwout bearing or the newer metal one....

lxkid90 · 06-09-2007, 02:20 PM

it was metal....

is it a squeal or a chirping? any drivability issues as far as putting the car into gear or shifting?

its a little harder to put into 1st gear...its a clicking like a loose rocker...thats what i thought it was at first....then i released the clutch and it was gone...then when i pushed the clutch in, there the noise was again...

might be a dumb ? but are you sure you put the plate on in the right direction? that can cause issues and still seem to be in working order. just a thought
