since i finally got my truck re insured, i've been taking it easy trying to figure out my new gas mileage. well' i was on my way home from the bank(about 5 minutes away) and got the itch. when the light turned green i took off and just happen to get stuck trying to get into 3rd. after that my truck made this rattling squeak sound everytime i pressed the clutch pedal to change gears. it sounds like some one sticking a metal rod into a fan but its more of a squeak with a slight rattle tone. could i have gotten a rock lodged in the clutch or broke a pressure plate finger? its kinda starting to **** me off cuz i don't have time to pull everything apart only to have to spend another 100$+ on a new clutch although thats what its looking like.

thanks in advance

 

Could be a broken piece of the pressure plate or rock like you said. Try to take a look. Hopefully it is a rock and you can get it out some how.

 

spoke to my dad yesterday and he said it sounds like the throwout bearing seized up. i pulled the slave cylinder out and tried to sneak a peek in the little hole before i did anything drastic but my stupid led flashlight kept dimming because of the angle. when i push the throwout bearing arm you can definitely here that something is loose though so it looks like i'll be pulling the trans off again.

 

i pulled the trans off today and it turned out to be the throwout bearing had ground up. luckily i had a replacement one and there was no damage to the pressure plate... good as new

 

Cool! Good Job!

 

Cool! Glad you got it fixed!! Lol, you might be faster at pulling out the transmission than I am these days! :P

 

only at pulling it out. you'll beat me by a few hours at putting it back in.lol
it took me 1hr to drop the transmission and about 4hrs to put it back in.
