Ive seen alot of people on here say its most likley the throw out bearing. My question is, shall I make priority to fix it or not? How long could it be like that? Is it detrimental to my jeeps' overall health?

 

[Floridarubi]

Yeah, if I push the clutch it goes away. So im not sure if I should worry about it.

 

[Floridarubi]

Ok, so I shouldnt worry about it... I have a list of appearance changes I want to fulfill. But whats the point of it looking good if it dont run good. Just trying to prioritize.

I know that if I slightly push the clutch the sound goes away even after I let go of the clutch. If I completly press it, when I release it comes back.

And if it might help, it started doing it after being put under some pressure. I was stuck in an akward position, in the process of geting pulled out I noticed that. And I had some oil come out of my rear main seal if im not mistaken, ive cleaned the area and theres no permanent leak. So I just changed the oil.

Ive only driven it about 15 miles, its my weekend driver. I dont drive my vehicles during the work week. Saves me from adding unesessary miles to it. Ive just been paranoid since the "incident"...

 

[Floridarubi]

Well the rattle does intensify a little while I take off. Once im moving its non existant, or I cant hear it at least.

It could be something as minor as a broken clutch return spring in the bell housing, in which case, it's just more annoying than anything else. If that's what it is, it won't hurt anything. Watch the last few minutes of this video.

Ive watched the video and it makes perfect sense, I beleive im ready to diagnose. Now the question is, is it a must fix asap kind of problem? Or can it run like that? Thanks for the vid recomendation, and help Water Dog.

I should rephrase the question as its already answered, noticed after posting. Will it affect the longevity of the system?

 

[Floridarubi]

Yeah, its just a constant tick tick tick tick tick. And when I press down on the clutch it dissapears. If I slightly press on the clutch to where the sound is almost surpressed and release the clutch slowly the sound stays away. From almost every angle its leading me to beleive its the spring.

 

[Floridarubi]

Ill keep an eye, or should I say ear on it. Making sure nothing else is out of tune. But for now thanks alot for the advice.

KEEP ON ROLLING!

How much did you end up paying for parts and service? I really beleive its the fork making the noise. I went under my jeep and put upwards pressure behind the flywheel or bellhousing not sure of the proper terminology. By doing so, the sound goes away. So im really inclined to beleive its the fork.
