Re: squilling ??
 

If that's what the problem is, you like the Jeep and plan on keeping it
then yes.

Basically what your looking at is a new clutch, most of expense is
taking everything apart and putting it back together again, so unless
the clutch is virtually new it would be a waste of money to replace the
bearing without replacing the clutch.

If you or someone were to listen under the Jeep with it running you can
probably tell pretty quickly if the noise is coming from the front or
closer to the middle where the clutch is.

If it's a 4.0 six the engine should be good for many more miles, also if
you or anyone has a habit of resting their foot on the clutch pedal that
can cause this problem, as can a lot of stop and go traffic.

Just a thought - if it's a pretty high pitched squeal, you might be
looking at an idler pulley bearing.

On your clutch possibility, put the transmission in neutral, release the
clutch - take your foot clear off it. Now, GENTLY put your foot against
the clutch pedal and begin to very slowly press the clutch pedal down.
Note any sounds or even slight vibrations you feel through the pedal and
give us a rundown on the whole cycle. That may give a better idea
of whether the throwout is the culprit. Even a quiet throwout that is
failing will give you some feeling of roughness, especially at light
pressure.
