[QUOTE="todd4566, post: 3744921, member: 31317"] Since you also did this to your 99', what was the end result? Did your TOB ever go bad, or did it function as it should? I've read some people say that improper adjustment can cause more TOB wear, but I've also read that as long as some freeplay remains in the clutch pedal (at least 1/2" or so), the TOB will be okay. Many people have solved their TOB issues with the use of aftermarket quad/adjusters, and this is basically the same thing - though not as precise. So long as you ensure the clutch cable still has [I]some [/I] freeplay & the clutch doesn't slip under load, I believe this is a reasonable cure. Even if this method caused the TOB accelerated wear, is letting it chirp much different? I can't stand hearing the TOB make the chirp, so in the end I'd be replacing the bearing anyway.. and this solved the issue on my 00'GT for 30k+ miles, so I'm not going to worry about it. *Btw, I observed an occasional lock-out on 2nd gear @ high RPM's after the gear clash TSB was done; since I "clicked" the quadrant, my shifts feel a lot smoother.
