Horrid noise from clutch.

[tyler__820]

So tonight i fired my truck up after work, and i live in oregon and we are having a serious winter blast like it was 13* or 14* out (really cold) and my clutch started squeeling really loud, but it would stop if i reved it up real high, and it never went away, also when i pushed on the pedal it got louder.....i have had my truck out in the mud recently. i need help cus im worried i might need a new clutch.

my guess would be throw-out bearing

Yep. Its the TO bearing. Mine did that last year after I put in a junk yard bearing to get my truck back on the road. Not even two months later, the bearing siezed and caused alot of sqealing and vibration. I went ahead and replaced the whole clutch pack while I was in there and havent had any issues since.

Thats what i was afraid of! hmmm i bet the mud water got up in there and dryed it out or somthing because that was brand new TO bearing.

throw out bearing for sure. Same exact noise happened to me last spring. Have fun changing the clutch, they are a pain in the ass.

use a bushing next time.

use a bushing next time.

a throw-out bushing? never heard of that... are you confusing it with the pilot bushing/bearing?

DOH, ya, sorry, i was thinking pilot bushing.
