ShadowManR6 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 i notice this case more when it's cold out, but on my 87 pathy (manual tranny) occasionaly when the clutch is pressed in i hear/feel a rubbing sensation, release the clutch and the sound goes away, any ideas?

5523Pathfinder Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Is the feeling continual, or just for a second? When you push in the clutch, the throwout bearing contacts the pressure plate springs, but then rotation is stopped. When was the clutch replaced? Im thinking wear on the pressure plate springs.

ShadowManR6 Posted February 2, 2007 Author Share Posted February 2, 2007 when it occurs if i take out the clutch it'll stop, if i leave clutch in it'll go for afew seconds then gradually just go away as for the clutch assembly it was completely replaced some years back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Does it still grab OK? Try this...stick it in third or fourth gear and try to take off. If it slips quite a bit before moving, it's pretty shot. If it kills the engine before moving too far, it's probably still got some life left.

unccpathfinder Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 (edited) sounds like the throwout bearing is growling at ya...mine growled for a while and then i finally had to change the clutch it was toast... another good way to test it is if you have a highway or long stretch of road you can put it in the highest gear (5th) and while going up hill put the pedal to the floor and if it slips then the clutch is starting to go... i noticed mine starting to do that on my way to work some mornings...then i went to spin the tires and the RPMs hit 4k but my truck didnt move....rpm shifted all the way back to my hometown (120 miles away) until i got to town then i had to use the clutch and she smelled horrible... but i'd say if shes not slipping yet and not growling all the time at ya i'd let it go till it needs replacing...but once it starts all the time it'll be time b/c the bearing would have a good chance of seizing up and that might not be too pretty you would just need to replace the clutch, flywheel, throw out bearing, rear main seal and prob change your fluids, and while the tranny is out you could change the rear cam seals pretty easily Edited February 3, 2007 by unccpathfinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helihog Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Mine has been doing that for 100000 KMS, they say its the pilot bushing ($5.00 part, $400 labor). More annoying than critical! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mws Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 (edited) When you finally have to get in there, do it ALL so you don't have to go back for a loooong time. You'll see why when you do. Kinda like doing timing belt - takes a fair bit of time to get to it. Clutch, pressure plate, pilot bearing, throwout bearing, surface or replace flywheel.
