For those with TOB issues can you describe when and what noise it is you hear?
Actually at times it does sound like that but I have no belt dust or anything. I suppose since I have a KB the chances of getting it covered under warranty are slim to noneOriginally posted by jjksutton
I read someplace that it sounds like belts slipping. Should be pretty obvious.
Under normal driving condistions I rarely hear it, only when I am getting a little heavy on the pedel. Shifts fine, dont feel any strange vibration, its always when I am in gear and accelerating or after a burst right when I let off the gas.Originally posted by Poisonous Mods
Larry,
U can also feel it. Its a very slight & light weird vibration when its making a noise.
More noticeable at a red light....well for me that is. The noice is has a squekyness <sp> to it.
Well, thats one thing that kind of frustrates me, KB or no KB power levels have no bearing on a TOB failure so I dont see why I would get a warranty claim for it denied. At the same time however its apparent that fords TOB just plain suck and their clutches arent much better. With all of that in mind I was thinking of just tossing a Spec clutch and composit TOB in.Originally posted by BLK_03

It happened at 4,500 miles. If it happens again (which it has to some folks) I will upgrade to a better part.
It was under warranty and was free so I gave Ford first crack at it.
However, with a KB, warranty is not an issue, I would probably upgrade the TOB and get a good look at the clutch assembly and see if it needed replacing since it is accesible.

My TOB squeal occured when I pressed the clutch pedal to the floor. 1/2 way down and it would start to squeal, all the way down in would squeal louder. As soon as you let off the pedal, squeal goes away.
That is exactly what mine does. just not for the dealer:gt:

There's a TSB on the TOB, so get the dealership to fix it for you for free.
