Spec Throwout Bearing

[PonyChick]

Well mine has approx 5k miles on it and not a peep! Also my step mom has one in her 95 with more miles on it than I have on mine and it has no noise either. Just throwing in some good experiences.

If it's me give me a PM and let me know man. Sorry if so. I just try to help where I can. BTW, what's the latest on your car? Is it still gonna have a T5 trans?

Not enough people are aware of that....

No, definately not you.

Well, that's the decision I'm trying to make. Whether to try to put a G-Force kit in or not. I also need to beef up the rear-end and I'm looking at some strange hardened OEM replacement 31-spline axles and a truck trac-loc for the time being. But I'm afraid that the weakest point is definately that T5 and it might not make it past the first dyno run. The rear end would. I don't know, it's just gonna be hard to do both right now money-wise.

Like I said, I wasn't the first to even talk about the tob's, not even the second, but when I do, my post gets scrutenized and I get flamed because this was supposedly talked about before but I wasn't a part of it.

My concern was the fact that the Ford or I'm sorry the bearing "made" for Ford is metal. And the tob's I've seen for Spec are the plastic ones Matt talked about...err..well, let me quote what he said so I don't get flamed for mis-qouting him..."We also have the composite case-bearing (commonly called the "plastic" one)". That was the difference between the two that I had noticed and wondered how they were the same bearings with the different construction.

I'm done now too. C-Ya

Damn. Chill out Brad. I don't know if you have had a long day or what but the post you are responding too did not have anything in it saying you were being a bad guy or blaming anyone

No, the point is Lee, that I was the third one that mentioned the noisy tob's in this very thread, but who's post gets quoted and is given the dead horse smiley?? Not Joker, and not you. Me.

And no. He wasn't saying that I blamed anyone. Sorry. He was saying that I mis-quoted him. Excuse me that I haven't seen the last "1500 threads about SPEC". Heck, I have more in my life than sitting here and reading every thread about every thing. My fault.

Yeah Brad, you need to settle down a bit. Lately you have been taking a lot of stuff way too personally and reading into a lot of peoples posts.

Keep in mind that when someone quotes you and makes a reply, don't automatically assume that their entire response is directed towards you. I can't speak for Joseph, but I took the "dead horse" smiley as applying to the whole thread, not just you.

Dyno pulls are not hard on transmissions and you're stock T-5 should be fine as long as you don't beat on it.

You're right about the T-5 being the weakest link, but don't assume that it's going to crumple up the minute it sees 500+ ft-lbs of torque. As long as you don't power shift and don't do any clutch drops, you should be fine for a while.

But, I never quote someone unless what I'm about to post is going to be directed to them and what was said. Why even quote me if your not directing it to me?? If that was the case, and he was wanting to direct his response to the whole thread, then why didn't he just make a post and not quote anyone?

You know what? I'm done. It's not worth it.
