clutch problems

[sprtsfrk]

I was on the highway, when I pushed in the clutch going about 65 mph, then it made this loud squeel/grinding noise. It happened only when i pushed in the clutch, so i figured it was the throwout bearing/slave cylinder. I got a new clutch kit, and installed it yesterday. I drove it around and it was fine, but this morning starting it up, the same noise came back. I'm gettin frustrated with this truck because every week something else seems to be wrong w it. What could be the cause of this issue?

theyre prone to going out but ive never heard of it makin noise...

just a thought.

The noise it makes is from the slave cylinder/ throwout bearing meeting with the pressure plate. It goes in and out of gear real harsh. So I think you're right with the master cylinder. But would this really cause the meet up of these two things w this grind?

i really don't know I'm new to standards.

i would think something is messing up somewhere else. maybe pete or somebody will help you out cause idk.

-sorry

What 5spd? Pre 89 4.0L?

 

 

It might not be the clutch...

The manche is a 1988 jeep pioneer, 4.0L 5speed, I believe it has the peuguot trans(sp?)

What condition was the pilot bearing in?

[sprtsfrk]

It looked good, no sliding, but the new kit didn't come with a new pilot bearing, is this common? You wud think that it would come with it wudnt u?

My kit came with one, but not all of them do.

thankz guys! well i don't know what happened, but for the past few days the noise has disappeared. Its not present at any time during the drive. I think my manche is just haunted...
