i had the same thing happen to me. i was driving all fine then i couldnt put the car in gear at all and clutch would go to the floor easily. come to find out the tob was broke into 3 pieces. i could be wrong but i hear if its a aftermarket tob some are crap. always use ford oem tob when you change your clutch.

My throw out bearing more than likely exploded.

Not to thread jack, but i just changed my TO bearing,clutch,pilot bearing and the cable, everything was torqued to spec and my cable and quadrant was recently changed before i got car. Well my TO bearing is making a chirping noise but NOT even close to that loud do you think i need to replace it again?

Hmm odd I have the same kinda squeeling sound going on in my car, but I think it may be the belt but I could be wrong.

If you have that squealing you will feel it on your clutch petal.
Today I placed a big order guys!
Ordered
-Spec Stage 2+ clutch kit
-Maximum motorsports clutch cable
-aluminum double hook quadrant
-firewall adjuster
-2 Tokico HP rear shocks (my right rear has been thumping)
-steeda bumpsteer kit
-Maximum motorsports CC-plates

Also I sold my hood for 400 to a local, and now I just ordered a saleen heat induction hood from ABCexclusive
Needless to say the car should be back up soon, and it will be slammed.

Would a Bad TOB give you problems going into second? Cause mine is chirping and has been since I put it in.

The way to tell you have a bad clutch is, if its making a sound without the clutch pushed in, and if you push the clutch in the sound goes away then its your TOB

Getting into one particular gear could be a fork or a syncro I think.

If your having trouble getting a gear it can be the shift fork or gear selector as some refer to it as. Usually if a synchro is going out or gone you can still find the right rpm's to slide it in with minimal grinding if you know what your doing.
