I’ve got 85K on my 2012 JK Ruby and my throw out bearing is starting to go. Same noise. I’m looking at the Centerforce Hyd Throwout as well, but with as many miles as I have on mine I’m not going to do just the bearing, I’m going to change the whole clutch as well. Don’t want to do this work twice. I’m looking at the Centerforce dual friction clutch and flywheel kit as well.
@@Ang.0910 for me it incorporates the slave cylinder with the throw out. The old fork and throw out bearing get removed and this piece has the bearing incorporated into a hydraulic piece that fully wrapped around the transmission input shaft. I can’t attest to the longevity of the part vs one throw out bearing, but it seems robust. I did have some issues installing it as there is some forward pressure making it hard to push the bell housing up against the back of the engine to bolt it back in. I fed a ratchet strap through the hole where the own slave cylinder mounted and carefully ratcheted the new Centerforce hydraulic to a slightly compressed position. Then I was able to mount the transmission bell housing nicely. Once mounted I released the ratchet and just pulled out the loose end of the strap, torqued all bolts and completed assembly. It’s worked very smoothly for me since. I do like the heavier fly wheel. So far the Centerforce hydraulic slave has worked flawlessly, but I only have 4,000 miles on it.
Disconnect/support drive shafts, support trans/transfer case with a trans jack, remove bolts from trans bell housing, wiggle it back until it disconnects and you can see the clutch assembly. You may need to removed the shift from up top as well..
Did you put your tranny jack under the transfer case? Without taking off the exhaust, I'm trying to figure out where to support the tranny so that it will stay balanced.
Yes I used a jack to support the trans and transfer case, I did need help to get the trans back into position when I was finished that thing is awkward and heavy
@@streamlinebuilds1490 is there a HD bearing? i had this issue twice already and really hate it because you have to put down the transmission and it is a pa*n in the as* lol.

The idle sound with no clutch engagement is the exact sound my 1997 tj is making at the moment. Looks like this weekends project!!
Well, at least I know my throwout bearing is the issue, mine is making the exact same sound. Thanks for the video!
Did you have to pull the transmission all the way off to get to the TOB?
I'm about to dive into this myself, but I'm installing the new Centerforce Hydraulic throwout bearing assembly.

@@hwobstjmy 2012 JKUR has 90k mi and just made that awful noise. What r the benefits of the part your talking about compared to the oem?

The monologue at the end hits home
Is it possible to drive still? My jeep just started making that awful noise and I’m 2hrs away from home 😢 😳
Should be fine for awhile
@@streamlinebuilds1490 whelp it lasted to get home
Can you give details how you pushed back the transmission? did you remove driveshafts?

Dude I searched so much to figure out what was going on and that's the sound
Glad to help haha the fixing isnt fun but worth it.
I have a 1995 Mustang GT. My sound is reversed. When my clutch is pressed, it goes away. Is this still the throwout bearing?
Definitely yes that's your issue
@@streamlinebuilds1490 I was thinking so too. Guess I've gotta drop the transmission and fix that throw out. Appreciate it thanks.
Ok dang, mine doesn't sound too bad yet.

My jeep has some balls rolling in the bottom of the transmission. Do u think mine are gone too?
Did you replace the clutch or just the bearing?
My clutch didn't have many miles on it, so I only replaced the bearing.

Do you still own the Valiant? Or know who does?
It's down in Houston, TX I haven't heard anything about it since I sold but the new owner claimed to be building the engine for 600hp
did you have to mess with the catalytic converters at all? Or, was there enough room to slide the trans/t-case back to get to the TO bearing?
I didn't remove any of the exhaust I believe I just pulled the shifter, driveshafts and crossmember.
Come back to RUclips!!!
Hey man! do you have an instagram page or something?
Sorry I don't really keep up with Instagram, but I guess I should
@@streamlinebuilds1490 For sure man! big fan of your Valiant build!
