    Hi Everyone,

    I am new here and have a 2007 Red/White Shelby GT500...few months old.

    I am having an issue where I get a clutch noise (dealer says clutch noise)
    Its a high piercing squeak for about 1 to 2 secouds, when I let the clutch out and as I give it gas (from 1st gear only).

    Just wondering if anyone has read or seen or also might be having the same noise.

    Thanks

    I don't get a squeek but I do have what sounds like a piece of paper sliding across a wooden floor just before the clutch grabs... I was told that it is the material in the clutch breaking in. If I heard a metallic squeek I would think it would be the throw out bearing more so than the clutch...

    I had Ford replace it the other day, 2 weeks to get a new clutch.

    Was told that the bad one, looked smooth, this is not what Ford was expecting and they wonder if I was riding the clutch..NO!!

    So it could be that it was bad from day one; the new clutch is working fine, feels good. Will see what happens

    I have been told an Hiss noise is normal and I do hear that right as it enages.
