the clutch should make kind of a wirring noise when you press the lever down. Thats how you know a little better that the TOB is the culprit. Usualy the TOB will start to squeek a little under stress once its getting closer and closer to death... a good way to hear taht is by just easing the clutch out without adding throttle, almost to the point where the engine dies, you might hear some squeeking, you might now... it might still very well be in the early phases, and if it is... You are pretty much fine, my TOB made rattling noises for 30K miles, and was still doing fine when I sold it. I offered the clutch kit to the guy whom bought it, but he didnt feel it was necessary. Speaking of which... I have a 95-97 Zetec 2.0L clutch kit sitting in my basement, never used... I would let it go cheap... especailly since Bill Jenkins is selling them dirt cheap right now
