[QUOTE="NWCobra, post: 16251069, member: 193873"] I appreciated everyone's advice and I know people appreciate follow up. A new clutch is in and so far everything is great. Here's what I ended up going with: [LIST=1] [*]Clutch - LUK RepSet (07042) from Rock Auto [*]Clutch Cable - Kept OEM, no change [*]Throwout & Pilot bearings - Used the bearings from the LUK Clutch Kit [*]Clutch Fork - Ford OEM Fork from CJ Pony Parts [*]Pivot Ball - Ford OEM Pivot from CJ Pony Parts [*]Rear Main Seal - Ford OEM seal from CJ Pony Parts [*]Consider: Mid Pipes + Cat Back - BBK O/R H-Pipe w/ all new Ford OEM Oxygen Sensors, stock cat back [*]Tranny Fluid - Motorcraft Mercon V [/LIST] I'm about 300 miles into breaking in the new clutch. The clutch feel is much lighter than the worn OEM clutch so it's great for daily driving. I seriously considered going to a higher performance/quality clutch, but I am happy with the direction I went. The TO bearing noise is gone. My main complaint is every once in awhile at the very top end of the clutch I get almost a ticking sheet metal noise. I figured I'd get the first 500 miles into the clutch break in and then see if I can figure it out. If anyone has any insight on this that would be great. The H-Pipe with the stock catback is one of the prettiest noises I've ever heard. Can't help but smile every time I start the car up! Definitely happy I made that change. Some follow up questions: 1. Now that I have aftermarket exhaust I know I need a tune to smooth out idle and hopefully rid myself of the CELs - are there any current recommendations for reputable places that will do a mail-order SCT tune? There's a shop in town that will sell me an SCT + Tune for ~$800, but I as my modifications are very light (only the mid pipe), I was hoping to save some $ by buying the SCT tuner separately and then ordering a custom tune. Is that possible or am I looking at this backwards? Again - thanks everyone for the help as I was getting this figured out! [/QUOTE]
