i have a squeal coming from the engine bay. when i lift up the clutch pedal the noise disappears. Possible thrust bearing problem? any ideas, fix??

sounds like the problem my brother had on his old EB, although he also had a slight rattle when the clutch pedal was up. The bearing you mentioned rings a bell but his clutch forks were tending to bend/break as well. Get it checked out immediately, it cost 2 new gearboxes, also in the engine bay check around the fire wall were the clutch cable goes in - it tends to fatigue & crack, putting more stress on the clutch pedal assembly. I would recommend all manual Falcon drivers do this because its so common that the local Ford dealer in Canberra has firewall reinforcement plates on the shelf.

Just did that job myself. I was driving the car around these past few months and it was getting harder to press the clutch as well as making annoying squeaking noises.

Bitch of a job seeing as I had to drop the dash and steering column but it was worth it to save major $$. I'd forgotten how light the clutch was when I fixed it too!
