Wounded_Fighter Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 So in the morning when I start my daily drive to work with my comanche I've started noticing a Tapping noise... I may have just started noticing it since I ripped the carpeting out, no more sound barrier lol. The noise sounds like a valve tapping, tic tic tic, consistant with speed of the vehicle.. BUT it goes away with the clutch pressed in... also after i make my 3rd turn, approx 3.5 miles, it goes away entirely... like it was never happening in the first place. happens every morning for the last 3 at least. not sure if its been longer or not wtf could be ticking in my trans?

Jeep Driver Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Could be the throw out bearing. Could be a broken finger on the pressure plate. Could be a broken spring in the pressure plate. Either way, may be time for a clutch job. Assuming it is clutch related as you describe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wounded_Fighter Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 Anyway to know without ripping the entire thing apart? I'd like to get parts before removal if i have to. it's my only ride at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cody4359 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Simple bandaid is turn up the radio or put the carpet back in and drive it til something gives. Does it only happen when the rig is cold since you say it goes away after 3 miles?Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wounded_Fighter Posted October 22, 2018 Author Share Posted October 22, 2018 Reviving thread, New tap, sounds like the valves sticking for cylinder 6 (close to the firewall)? Comes and goes, but not with the trans in 'N'eutral or clutch pressed in. Thinking Oil pump not reaching it, ie pump going bad? I've run seafoam through it, hasnt helped. Oil pump cold start pegs the needle for oil pressure to the right. after 20 mins of running it idles at 35, throttle puts it at 80 or pegged. Thoughts?

Your oil pressure sender is defective, for sure. You might want to rent/borrow a real oil pressure gauge from th parts store to confirm actual pressures as a next step.

Kerry Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Maybe you're not hearing it in neutral or with the clutch pushed in because the engine is not under a load during those times. Most transmission shops will put it on a lift and listen themselves for free. It's not a waste of their time because of the possibility you'll have them do the repair work.

yxmj Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 With all due respect.....if your only answer is to say to take it to a mechanic/garage.....maybe you should not be answering in the tech section? OP....have you changed your oil lately?.... I have successfully solved lifter noise many times with a simple flush and a quick oil change....PM me and I can send you my "do the Dishes" routine that works every time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
