My car is a 1997 CC with a 351c and T5. I recently bought the car and it has only 1300miles yet is has this very annoying squeek coming from up front. It happens in or out of gear but stops once the clutch is depressed or even if I lightly press on the clutch. It seems the throwout bearing and/or pivot have dried out and probably developed some rust.
With only 1300 miles and all new in 1997 one would assume the clutch is fine so today I tried to separate the transmission from the bell housing but it would only part about 3/4" then it seemed to hang up on something. The drive shaft is removed and all bolts loose but she won't let loose so I shut everything down and cracked a beer. I'm working on a lift with plenty of supports plus under hoist stand but this is my first time attempting such a job. Any ideas? Thx, Mike
