OK i put that new clutch in my car and went and started it and there is a clicking sound! The noise is gone or very slight when the clutch is disengaged and quite loud when it is engaged. I torqued everything to spec and have no idea what is making the noise anyone ever have this same thing happen?

sounds like something was missed, or misaligned in the install. whatever it is, i would tear it down immediately(not drive it) this is only going to get much worse.

dunno what it could be........ check and make sure the clutch fork is on the pivot correctly ?????

maybe look in throught the fork cover and see if you can see or hear where it is coming from a bit better........

i have an 03 mach 1 and i just took mine up to ford today to get mine checked out, it makes a ticking sound from the engine mostly on the the driver side, and they returned it to me saying that this is typical among the 32 valve engines(cobra and mach1), so all they did was torque some screws and gave it back to me, and said that this is and has been under investigation, also they said this does not effect the performance in any way
