Default Squeak when clutch is depressed. & What tools needed for starter replacement ?

Well, First question is when i am idling i hear a squeak dunno from where but its a bit loud and if i just push the clutch pedal in a Centermeter the squeak goes away. where could this be coming from?


2nd Question is- What tools do i need to change out my starter its a 94 GT.

Thanks Guys!

sounds like same issue ive been having...if it sounds like a chirping supposedly the pilot bearing is worn out. im planning on replacing my clutch/flywheel, etc. to solve the problem, instead of just replacing the bearing.

Wow, I really did not wanna hear this! Dam, I thought it was maybe a loose bolt or something. I really doubt its somethin serious like pilot bearing!


The noise is their but if i just tap the clutch pedal with my hand it goes away. i mean i can just put a 1/4 of a pound and it will go away.

don't forget to put on some protective eye glasses when swaping out that starter, nothing better then some crud dropping in your eye when your under the car. also don't forget to shim the starter.

some times a replacement starter will not line up on the block and engage with the fly wheel correctly. it may need a small thin pc of metal better known as a shim slid in between the block and the starter motor to get the correct alignment. this is not always the case some starters bolt in with no issues. however when starting the car for the first time after you instal the starter if you hear a load noise you may have to put a shim in place. the noise will be loud. like turning the key again after the car is started.
