My 89 Saleen had the same chatter. Ended up being the clutch fork hitting the bell housing due to the cable being too loose. I tightened it up and it's all good now but I'm sure I'll need to go through it again sooner or later. Good video. Thanks.
Gotcha, thanks for sharing your experience! And yes these older cars always need something to be looked at again, or a new issue pops up. I drove my 95 today about 30 miles and thankfully no issues, knock on wood
Yep I ended up doing that! Had to use a pair of channel locks since I couldn’t fit my hand in that area to turn the adjuster, definitely helped the squeak go away mostly.
I believe so, because even though you pushed the clutch pedal all the way down, a loose cable may not pull on the clutch fork enough to fully disengage the clutch. Make sure it is snug/tight but not too tight that you cause extra wear on the clutch.
You didn't need to do all that man. That's the whole point of the firewall adjustment ...can tighten the cable there with ease.

Mine sounds exactly the same thanks for the vid very helpful
Awesome glad I could help!
If you have a firewall adjuster, try turning it counter clockwise maybe 2 turns or so and that TOB squeek should go away

Will a loose clutch cable make it hard to shift gears intermittently?
