if anyone has any input on this please!!!!!! help me.........if it is can i replace it myself or?????
-
If it is the release bearing you will hear it when the clutch is depressed, not while the clutch is engaged.

It might be the release bearing,can't say for sure. But I will say if you are going in there to change it, The best plan would be to do everything the clutch, rear seal, front tranny seal, because it's a lot of work to get in there, and you don't want to do it again in 3 months. This is the voice of experience, learned this the hard way. Several times now :) .
As for "can you do it yourself'' . Only you know your mechanical abilities. It is a big job, but not overly difficult. I can't think of any special tools you would need to do it. Maybe a transmission jack, that definatly helps.The last clutch I bought came with the little alignment dohickey so you shouldn't need that. Maybe some one else will mention something I've forgotten.

Good points and I would also add slave cyl if it's internal and spend the 30 or 40 bucks and machine the flywheel. Also put locktite on all flywheel and clutch bolts.

Is it a tick or a rattle .. is it loud ?
It could be the release bearing just rattling about .. does light pressure (taking up the slack) make the noise go away or get louder ??
-
its a ticking sound but when i put light pressure on the clutch it goes away??
-
I wouldn't worry about it then
-
i take it this is normal??
-
Define normal ..
Did it leave the factory like that ?? .. no.
Is it acceptable ?? .. that's up to you. I wouldn't worry about it.
It isn't broken .. you'd know if it was .. believe me.

"Normal" after running through a mud hole. :lol:
Mine has been making noises for the last 40,000 kms. The noise seems to change a little after every wheeling trip. Mine is more of a slight grinding sound though.
I discussed this with the service manager at Tower (while I tried to work the warranty angle - :lol: :lol: was his response) and he suggested running it until a continuous grind occurred. At that point, time for a total rebuild. (clutch, release bearing, etc.)

well yea "normal" was going through a mud hole haha...
well i just got my clutch replaced so the last thing i want to do is wait till the grinding gets worse!! id rather prolng the life of my clutch right now lol but its sounding like a release bearing at this point but i was also told something about the linkage "cables"(but i have a hydrolic clutch).......?
