Default Clutch Problem

I have a 2000 Saleen S281-SC. I just recently developed a "squeeking" noise associated with the clutch. When I hear the noise, if I put a little pressure on the pedal, the noise goes away.

Does anybody have any ideas?

The throw out bearing is squeking. Ford has a TSB on this. If it is still under the factory warranty Ford will fix it for free and install a new clutch.

That's good news. Thanks for the information. I think I'll try to get it fixed this week.

Default Update

I took my car to a Ford Dealership. They were unable to reproduce the problem. The service writer is telling me that the clutch is still fine even with the annoying noise. Is that true? I hope so because they didn't replace the clutch.
