BULLFROG CLUTCH
I have what seems to be an ongoing problem with my clutch. Here is
the short version: I have a 2006 Wrangler X with the 6 speed tranny and A/C. Every morning when I get in, start up, and take off, all is great. My commute to work is approximately 35 miles one way, and is ALL highway. I have noticed that when I get to the town that I work in and have to get off the highway (and now have to use the clutch), that my clutch will squawk (like a bullfrog -- that low pitched croaking sound they make) when I push the clutch in. I only notice this sound in the lower gears (shifting from 2nd to 1st). When I am at a complete stop with the engine running, I push the clutch in slowly and it makes this noise. When I shut the engine off and push the clutch in, it makes this noise in ADDITION to a "rubbing" sound/feel when the clutch is just about to the floor. I have taken it to two different dealerships who have both told me this is normal. I know it is NOT normal because this is my second clutch in this vehicle and it only has 13,000 miles on it. The first clutch was faulty at 7500 miles, so the dealership replaced it under warranty. HOWEVER, the first clutch did NOT make any of these noises. It was just sticking on the way back up while letting it out. I am not hard on my clutch at all, don't ride it, and don't use it much as 99% of my driving is all highway. Anyone have any suggestions? I am at a complete loss. THANKS |

When they replaced the clutch at 7500 miles, what else did they replace?
Sounds like a master/slave cylinder issue. Take it to another dealer.

To the best of my knowledge, they replaced the clutch assembly with a new clutch. The dealership I took it to thought the first clutch was sticking on the way back out due to the pressure plate getting too hot. I don't know if they replaced the master/slave cylinder when they worked on it. I will find out though. If they didn't, I am going to take it to another dealership and ask that they check those parts to see what shape they're in. Thanks for the information. |

Thanks for the information. > Did they give you a reason why the pressure plate was getting too hot? Like if the clutch was never fully engaged and it caused slippage and the friction caused overheating. The pressure plate normally wouldn't overheat unless something was malfunctioning. Maybe the slave cylinder overheated as well and they never replaced it. |
