I'm having the same problem with my 95 I know it's not the throw out bearing. I am going to try to adjust my clutch. Fords recommendation is to turn car off, pull up on the clutch and depress slowly until it clicks and it should automatically adjust the clutch. (this has not worked for me) tomorrow I will change gear oil, if that does not work I will adjust the clutch cable. I'll keep you posted. I have a center force clutch and it has gotten noisy even though just recently broken in makes ticking sound when in neutral.

Not being able to shift could be fried gears?

Yea that would be great if you could keep me posted , and the kid I bought it from had just put the clutch kit and short throw shifter in two months ago , I don't know what kit he got and I know the shifter is a b&m and he said the only thing he didn't do was replace the stock clutch cable so that's what I am hoping it is

It sounds to me like you have TOB problems.

If you are having problems with the TOB I would also look into having the pilot bearing replaced as well. In my F150 I went through 2 TOB's before I realized my PB was crap. I replaced PB TOB and Slave Cylinder. Have not had a problem for over 3 years now.

Yeah its your clutch not disengauging completly you can adjust your clutch, and its also a tob prob with the whine. This has happened because your clutch cable has streched with age. I had both of these problems then I installed a exedy stage 2 clutch and Ford racing throw out bearing everything is super smooth and no shifting problems.

So replacing clutch and TOB will help make it not so stiff?

| The clutch may not be the issue at all. If it's aftermarket, then it may be what caused the cable to stretch. The whine is most definitely the throw-out bearing though.

| I would suggest doing a new quadrent it removes the stock springs on the pedal and also do a new Clutch cable you can do a stock replacment cable if your clutch is stock but if you have/ are planning to go after market get an adjustable one I got the quadrent from AM and I got a steeda adjustable cable from them too I always try the cheapest solutions first. Doing this complelty changed the feel of my clutch pedal. This was before my after market clutch too

Well AM has a clutch cable kit for 100 start with that then save for an exedy clutch ( imo the best bang for the buck ) and get your flywheel resurfaced get a couple buddies and drop your trans parts will run you between 400-550 and if you get a shop to do it depending on the shop between 350-450. They charged me like 420 I think. That's me including the parts. So save and start with the little stuff. Good luck man.
