Hello everyone! I need a little help on my 2001 dodge Dakota 4.7L v8, my clutch makes a whining noise when it is engaged. The noise disappears when I push my clutch in. Their is also a light shake from the motor. The shake is at its worst when it's cold.

I am willing to make more video's, and take pictures. I am open ears to any possible suggestions.

Another issue is; when I put my truck into 4 wheel drive, it makes loud metal grinding and popping

Any help??

And apologies for the bad camera views. Found out my nephew won't be a camera man for a career that is for sure.

 

I will move this to the 2nd Generation Dakota Sub-Forum.com

 

Well the noise in 4wd is your cv joint on the drive shaft its pretty common and its makin that sound cause its toast. Whining noise could be the throwout bearing.

 

Thank you very much for helping me. I don't have the money to go the a shop and get my truck fixed so everything has to be done on my own or from best friends.

This weekend I'll drop my transmission, replace the throw out bearing, and pilot bearings. After those are replaced I will replace the CV-joint another week.
Is their any tests that I can do to cross out other possibilities? Very last thing I want to do is drop my tranny, replace the TOB and find out it was on the culprit.
