[QUOTE="stang99, post: 603894, member: 191"] New tranny( broken off TOB retainer pressed in piece); new Spec Stage 2 and Spec alum flywheel with spec TOB and terrible squeal present within 600 miles of install. Pull tranny inspect tranny and clutch all appear perfect and install with another new Spec TOB. Strange vibration and almost something hitting something sound from clutch area. Throughout all of this the Spec 2 bites unbelievable but wins contests at chattering. I just returned from a long road trip and the vibration/something hitting noise is worse. If I put just a little pressure on the clutch pedal it goes away. It only makes the noise when the clutch is fully engaged. Mechanics are all confused but think that it has to be the clutch although the chatter in the clutch is subsiding. This entire situation sucks, IMHO, since I bought my Cobra to run it hard. I knew it would run hard by reading the Ford sales material and by checking out the magazine articles with alleged quotes from top Ford officials in them. Now, I am having some bad times surrounding my car, which, other than the tranny/clutch issues, is a great Mustang. This week I went on a road trip and I ran a series of little travelled farm and mountain roads at advanced touring speeds. The car was truly wonderful in this element, even though there was a constant clatter from the clutch.bell housing area of the car.
