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!

Re: Clutch Issues
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.

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
