so i just installed my frankencar intake yesterday and today im out for a little drive and because it was such a nice day i had the windows down and when i was at a slow speed and would shift from 1st to 2nd i could hear a squeaking coming from my clutch now i dont know if this is something that i should worry about... has anyone experienced this before? could this be caused from the intake or maybe something rubing against something when i installed it?

Mine does this, there is actually a TSB out for it, but I don't know what causes it. Sounds like a howling noise. And it only happens once in a while...

yeah there is a rubber boot under the intake on the tranny.

Pop it off and put some high temp lube in there.... works for me all the time

i have this problem sometimes but nothign to worry about it i guess. igor911, you mean the boots on the shifter cables?

Igor911

iTrader: (10)

yes, pop it off. use something that can go deep inside that hole to lube the TOB.

I lube mine every 2 oil changes

vsamoylov

Igor911

iTrader: (10)

This is where the boot it, it just pops right off. I used HIGH TEMP GREASE...goto your local auto store and tell them you need HIGH TEMP grease for the Throw out bearing in the tranny.

vsamoylov

ohh that one. i see. i will try to do that. thanks

I'll have to try that. I don't know if mine is a different problem but on my car the noise happens when I let the pedal up, and only when shifting into first.

Igor...

I tried what you said to do but not getting results. It is tough to even get in there. I am using a grease gun, but not really sure I am hitting the right spot. Did you use spray lube or actual grease?

What happens when this part completely wears out?
