Just noticed my throwout bearing making noise OVER the sound of my ticking cylinder head.:facepalm: Press the clutch in and the noise disappears. This is great, 3250 miles and this is what I get. I'm gonna have a field day with the service rep monday when I bring the jeep in.

Bummer!

Be sure to give them all 10's on the service questionaire, you may need some friends with that jeep.

Good luck!!!

Gonna tell you normal clutch chatter. Every manual I have purchased in the past 5 years has done this. Also it wouldn't be your throwout bearing anyway since you only hear it when the clutch is out. A noise when the clutch is in would indicate throwout bearing problems. Your problem is input shaft bearing or clutch chatter and the dealer will always say it's normal clutch chatter to keep from changing it out.

Good point however the service department is usually happy to find warranty work on any vehicle because they can bill Chrysler and make money replacing it.

Not in my case they aren't because the know the manufacturer will not reimburse them for it for something like this if it turns out to not fix the problem. Trust me, I've been round and round with multiple manufacturer dealers over noisy clutches that act just like the OP and they always tell me clutch chatter that is within spec. I had a '10 Ford Focus that was terrible and one dealer even went as far as telling me he couldn't even hear it! When I was standing right outside the car and could hear it chattering away as loud as could be. It's worth taking in you never know. I just know I've never had any luck getting them to fix it myself.

Yep. Both my Tj and Jk do it.

I even have a squeak to go along with it

I hear the opposite as far as warranty work

They'll try and avoid fixing it, under warranty. However if the warranty was up and you were footing they bill they'd tell you there was something wrong. Warranty work doesn't pay as well as retail shop work does, so they sometimes pick and choose what they want to do. Pulling a tranny under warranty isn't one of the easier more profitable jobs especially for a busy dealership, they tend to go to the higher paying more profitable jobs if possible. OTOH if the rep tells them to drop the tranny and do the job, they have to.

Keep in mind some clutch chatter is considered normal, and might not occur all the time, now if the rear main seal were leaking and it was obvious it would be cut and dry. Check for oil leaks, you never know. Last thoughts, chatter and TOB noise are two totally different animals. Some MTs make a roll over noise, that is considered normal too. Good luck!

Well, we will see what happens. If the jeep was out of warranty and the throwout bearing went id be under it changing it myself lol. Last place you want to go to have your stuff fixed is a dealer if your paying out of pocket.

A man after my own heart. There are unfortunately a lot of people that don't have the time, tools, or know how though. Good luck with the dealership.

Seaford, NY we're almost neighbors, where did you buy it? How was the buying experience?

Service departments will always desire to work on your vehicle and get paid for it under warranty or not because they make the same money off of you or Chrysler for the parts/labor. It's simple economics. However they do have to get approval to warrant the work and this where you'll run into some grey area when attempting to fix parts under warranty.

Not afraid to turn a wrench but electrical issues scare the crap out of me

Got the jeep from Westbury Dealer. Honestly my wife did all the leg work and surprised me with this jeep so the little that I had to deal with the dealer was a good experience. Shes a tough cookie and did her homework and got the best deal from westbury, even picked out the 6spd and white, two things I would have chose had she asked me. Not bad huh?:thumb:

What town are you in?

 

[demarpaint]

I'm in Valley Stream. Sounds like your wife did a great job. Hopefully things work out for you, good luck!

I have a 2012 Wrangler Sahara and drive it like an old lady. The throw out bearing went bad just after 30K miles (before 3 years). The dealer told me it was 1500.00 to fix (need to take out tranny). I called Jeep and was told its not part of the warranty no matter what mileage. When the dealer did the work, he found nothing else wrong and told me that it should not have happened (no evidence I drive the car hard, etc.) and his service manager took the high road and fixed it for free. I am very annoyed at Jeep National aka the brand but very grateful for my dealer to help me. I live in Spokane, WA and go to Barton Jeep.

I owned a 2012 from new to 90,000 miles and the transmission rattled like a can of marbles from around 10,000 miles up. There were no issues with clutch performance for that whole time. My 2015 is even louder and started earlier -same thing though, no clutch performance issues. There was actually very minimal difference in feel of the clutch with 90k on it as compared to the new one when I picked it up.
I took the 2012 to a dealership at around 30k to get the noise checked out and they suggested new clutch for 2k and charged me 200 bucks for the diagnosis. Don't worry about clutch noise , worry about clutch performance. Had 2 new clutches on our old vibe and both times the clutch started to fail noticeably. Theres no mistaking a clutch problem
