She is acting up.

So as you know if you read my post on the new GT, the Mach has a new stablemate.

Since the arrival of the new car the Mach has started giving me some issues...Yes, I think she is acting up, jealous car thing...

However, following issues have manifested.

1.) Lovely whistle from one of the idler's up front. Sounds like a horrible vacuum leak. Took off the belt. Started car, whistle went away...New Idler pulleys on the way from LMR (had to do one when the car was new so no big deal there)

2.) Replaced the clutch cable as it was starting to bind up some. And now there is this unpleasant rattling noise when accelerating thru 2k. I have tried tightening and loosening the cable at the fork and at the firewall adjuster and no joy. Went underneath and re-torqued all the exhaust bolts to make sure that was not the rattle. Still there.

Thinking it is TOB Time at the least...I did a clutch 3-4 years ago and the car has probably less than 10k miles since I did that.

Should I go ahead and just do TOB, or since I am in there do another clutch anyway? I have access to a low mileage Fidanza Aluminum flywheel that I can replace the steel factory one with if I do...

thoughts? Suggestions? open to all ideas...appreciate the feedback...
