I think I may have to change my throw out bearing... maybe. getting a weird noise only when car is in gear and accelerating. doesn't make noise when in neutral and rev the engine up. but all in all a good little car.
IIRC the correct way to diagnose Focus throwout bearing is to put car in neutral and listen with clutch out ... you should hear the bearing rattling at that time ... to confirm, push the clutch in and the noise goes away.
