I got in my mustang today and the clutch is making a squeaking noise when i press it in and feels like i dont have much clutch,, it has never done this before it dont seem like it started today untill it started raining i dont know maybe it was just a coincedence if anyone has had a similiar problem or has heard of this before please let me know , could my clutch need adjusted?

You could start with tightening the cable underneath on the clutch fork, it could be loose and barely engaging the clutch which would cause it to squeal like a pig, but if you adjust it and keep adjusting it and you reach the end with no change, sorry my friend looks like we will be dropping the trans and replacing the clutch.

I would suspect a problem with the cable causing the feel of not having much clutch, it may be stretched or needing an adjustment. The squeak sounds like the throwout bearing, if it is getting bad it will squeak when you depress the clutch. When the pedal is out the throwout bearing should not be in contact with the pressure plate, it contacts and releases the pressure plate when you press the pedal. It could be the pil;ot bearing, but that will usually make noise when you have the pedal out. You can try adjusting the clutch, but make sure you leave the proper air gap between the throwout bearing and the pressure plate, I believe it should be about 1/4" If that doesn't help, you'll probably want to plan on doing the clutch soon... ie, the clutch, pressure pate, throwout bearing, pilot bearing, and at the very least resurface the flywheel, or upgrade to a lightweight flywheel.

Also ill put out there if ur clutch quadrant is going bad its only going to be a matter of time before it breaks when your driving somewhere if you think its related to that ide say buy a billet adjustable quadrant kit.... and if your doing that might as well put in a new clutch cable.... i put a steeda cable (because they use the same mounting as the stock ones, and are the same legnth unlike cheap ones that are short and a pain to deal with) in mine and a cheap apr billet clutch quadrant kit and everything feels so much tighter and smoother.
