Clutch Noise

So this has happened since a recent install of my clutch, I did not install it, my friend (a backyard mechanic) did and he is a pretty knowledgeable mechanic.

So a few days after he installed the clutch (it was a rhino series) something in the clutch system started to squeak. The squeak is a rotational squeak, it speeds up when the jeep accelerates and slows down when I let the throttle is let off. The clutch doesn't make a noise when the pedal is pressed down, and sometimes when it's in a higher gear like 3rd or 4th and never 5th is doesn't make noise.

My bud said it might be a hydraulic problem. Something with the cylinders. I'm clueless when it comes to clutching so any help would be great.

Sounds like a throwout bearing. Did he replace it? Did he lubricate it?

I would ask him, but he's at boot camp. Is there a write up for anything like this? Maybe I could somehow check it?

You will have to search for a write up. But ALWAYS replace throw=out and pilot bearings when changing a clutch, ALWAYS.

To fix a bad throw-out bearing, you will have to pull the tranny and t-case and put a NEW one in. Pretty straight foward, just time consuming.

P.S. pick up a Haynes or Chiltons repair manual for your jeep. It will be the best 20 dollars you spend on your Jeep. They're not as good as a FSM but better then winging it.

Good luck

If it was the throw out bearing, shouldn't it make more noise when the clutch pedal is pushed down?
