Hey all,
My jeep keeps taking more turns for the worse. I'm thinking that the clutch bearing (dont know the actual technical term) is shot. When I am idling out of gear and press in the clutch, it will start squeeling about 90% of the time. (embarassing when I'm on 17th ave going home ;) )
So yea, while im getting that repair, I'm prolly gonna get the clutch and push plate etc changed too. One shop said you have to replace all that anyways on that design. I dont know much about clutchs and transmissions though so I guess that why I'm posting.
Anyone know, by the description I gave above, if that would be the clutch bearing. And can anyone give any referals to good shops/mechanics who could possibly change this out for me?

Definately sounds like a thow-out bearing. The bearing itself is cheep, but while it's apart the clutch and seals should be done. The main shaft oil seal is a must. They are notorious for leaking. Hope this helps you out

Do you know how to work a wrench and a ratchet? Have a jack and some jackstands? This is easily doablein you driveway on the weekend and will porbably save you $500-1000 on labour. Clutch kits with throwout bearing run from $250-800 for just the parts depending on brand and quality.
