Clutch noise 02 mustang gt Sign In

2002 Mustang GT
97,000 miles just notices yesterday when I press my clutch in (but not when I release) it makes this noise.
The stretching-type noise is just my leg on the seat that's nothing, just the clutch noise is the problem

Could be a dry clutch fork pivot pin or even the clutch release bearing making noise as it slides on the transmission front bearing support.

You should get the vehicle in the air and have someone lay underneath while you move the clutch pedal to see if they can pinpoint where the noise is coming from. The noise is pretty loud, so you shouldn't have a problem locating it.

That's probably a bad throw out bearing. It's time for a clutch job.

Most definitely. Would be foolish not to change the clutch too while it's out.

If you do end up pulling the transmission, buy a clutch kit and have the flywheel resurfaced. It is also a good idea to replace the rear main seal while your in there.

The clutch kit comes with the clutch disc, pressure plate, pilot bearing, clutch release bearing, and clutch alignment tool. You should also replace the clutch fork pivot pin because they do wear out. You can get the pivot pin from the dealer.

If the tranny is getting dropped I will be getting a new clutch for sure. I will be more than likely be having this done in a shop so having the flywheel resurfaced requires what? Will that increase the cost a lot? Same with the rear main seal, That a lot more?

Another quick question, I've never had something like this done in a shop. Do you buy your own clutch kit/parts and basically just pay them for labor or do they buy the parts themselves so they can mark them up a bit?

Some shops won't work on your car if you bring your own parts. The shops make profit off parts mark up. Shops that do allow you to bring your own parts will probably increase the labor time to compensate for not being able to mark up parts. Another thing is that if you bring your own parts there won't be a warranty if something goes wrong that doesn't have to do with installation part of it.

The entire clutch job should be based off the time to do the rear main seal because you have to pull the transmission and remove the flywheel to get to the rear main seal. All the other labor times just overlap the rear main seal labor time.

Resurfacing the flywheel is usually subbed out to a machine shop. Should be around $50-$70 to resurface the flywheel.

Oh, resurfacing the flywheel is about the the same as turning a brake rotor on a brake lathe. Just uses a different machine. Metal is taken off to eliminate any run out or warping. It also gives the new clutch friction material a smooth surface to go up against. Eliminates clutch chatter and pedal pulsation when engaging the clutch.
