Hi Scotty
Enjoy watching your youtube channel very much.Thanks for all the good advice.
I have 96 Toyota 4runner SR5 4WD with 220k miles and a 5 sp manual transmission. I am also the original owner. At 175k miles, I had the original clutch replaced because it was worn out and the throwout bearing was chirping when the clutch pedal was released. Within 2 months of replacing the clutch, the new throwout bearing was chirping again. I took it back to the shop and they replaced it with an Asin OEM bearing. Well, after a couple more months, it was chirping again. Still chirping away at 220k miles. Very annoying!
Any ideas? Another shop wanted to replace the clutch again with factory parts.
Thanks for your advice
Mike
Well it could be the bearing chirping but sometimes the clutch plate springs chirp too I mean if it works okay I would just drive it cuz the only other option you got is to replace all the parts with OEM parts and chirping really doesn't hurt anything
Sounds like the throwout bearing might not have enough clearance from the pressure plate and is scraping. Whatever it is, it's going to have to come apart AGAIN and done with factory OEM parts by someone who knows what they are doing. Also, check the release fork and its mountings to see if it's bent.
