    Question Help! I Have a Squealing Clutch!

    Well this just started last night but when I depress the clutch pedal to put it in gear or to change gears while driving, the clutch or something related squeals. And its pretty loud... It doesnt do it when driving only as soon as I touch the pedal to press it down and makes the noise until my foot is off of the pedal.

    Let me know what you think it is... My clutch has 15,000 miles on it and was installed last July.

    Sounds like the throw out bearing is going out in it if I had to guess without hearing it

    Yeah I learned the hard way on my 72 Ventura that you need to resurface/replace the pressure plate and throw out bearing. I can't remember what I did to the flywheel now. I went through so many clutch disks on that thing. lol

    I even put the throw out bearing through the fingers of the pressure plate one and had to drive home from school without a clutch.

    Here's a video to hear the sound... when it gets louder that is when the pedal is pushed down or on the way down or being let up... it squeals a little when it is all the way up too now

    x4 on the throwout bearing

    With engine idling, put your transfer case in neutral. Now shift tranny through the gears. Any noise?
    Now push the clutch in. Any noise with the clutch pushed in? If there is it is probably a dry throw out bearing.

    Play in water much?
