Clutch Issues
My TJ (99 TJ SE) has developed a new noise, but is only intermittent. I
mentioned this in a thread a while back, but it has dissapeared and though I would get some follow-up. It's a distinct, bordering on loud, rattle when the TJ is idling in nuetral, with my foot off the clutch. If I push the clutch in, it goes away. How often does it happen?? Usually only when it is hot. However, it doesn't happen all the time when it is hot. As a matter of fact, it hasn't happened in a while until I did some trail riding yesterday. At the end of the ride I got out while it was running to reconnect my swaybar, and the rattle was there. Also, sometimes when it gets hot, the clutch... grabs... a bit as I bring my foot up. Also makes a creaking noise at the same time. That has been happening for a long time, and I've learned to ignore it. Thought that may have something to do with the rattle though. Thanks for the help! Eric 99 TJ SE 2" Spacer Lift, TB Swap, AirAid Intake, and lots of other money-eating devices... ;-) |

Hi Eric,
Rarely can you blame a noise on a clutch, engaged. See if changing the fluid in Transmission helps. Look for metal shavings in that oil, that may indicate bearing failure, common to Japanese transmissions.

Would guess either the manual transmission has a loose bearing or the throwout bearing on the clutch. You might be able to quiet it down a bit with the appropriate Redline tranny lube... It could also simply be something loose in the clutch linkage or transmission mounts if you've been kissing rocks lately. -- My governor can kick your governor's ass |

Re: Clutch Issues
just did mine under warranty, it was the clutch throw out bearing, not
covered under warranty but they first thought it was the front drive bearing, so they replaced it too "Lon Stowell" <LonDot.Stowell@ComcastPeriod.Net> wrote in message news:jLAib.464380$2x.185478@rwcrnsc52.ops.asp.att. net... > Approximately 10/13/03 08:29, Eric uttered for posterity: > > > My TJ (99 TJ SE) has developed a new noise, but is only intermittent.
