ok..here is a Q? anybody...i just put a new flywheel, clutch, plate and presure plate under my 80 toyota 4x4...when is running it makes a sound that it wasnot there before, when i press the clutch pedal the sound goes away, can it be that I put the clutch plate backwards? help

[SocalWheeler71]

Depends how loud it is. Could just be the throwout bearing if it's not too loud.

[bleakhorizon]

i would say its the T.O. bearing, could be the pilot bearing also.. dont most clutch kits come with the T.O. did you put a new one on?

mine is sorta strange, only seems to squeak when the engine is over its normal op temp!!!

Have the same symptoms with a 98 Taco, after 20,000 miles still no problems
Was told it was the T. O. bearing.

Mine did the same thing once a pon a time. My pressure plate bolts weren't tight enough and allowed the disc to skip and chadder.
Did you torque the bolts down per the book. There is a pattern you follow (star).  I know the 3RZ stuff they require you to go torque to 14 lbs and then go back and in a star pattern torque them an additional 90*.

That could have been the Flywheel too, did you take that out and replace it or anything?

[trucha]

TacoRunner, I think u r on the money, the sound it makes is more like a chadder sound, it goes away when I press the ckutch pedal, flywheel, clutch plate and pressure plate was change and no I didnt use a torque wrench....

[SocalWheeler71]

Pilot will only make noise when the clutch is released.

I had the same problem so I pulled it apart and one of the prongs on my T.O. bearing was broken off. I say it has to be something with the T.O. bearing

[ronezrocky]

going with T.O bearing gotta think parts made by the thousands are bound to fail at 1point QC only goes so far and we are all human

[84krawler]

im goin to have to say its the throw out bearing you should check the pilot bearing too

What is the gear chart for a dual transfer case like.. how do you know what gear your in and how it means that  from 1st to 35th gear.. If that makes sense??

[chicorider]

i got 529s on my 84 yoda and i put 37s and my 1st gear still feels short. thinking i might be able to use 38s.

[chicorider]

about to add power steering on my 84. i guess there's some sort of bolt on mounting plate for the ifs box available for purchase? i guess i also need pump, resevoi,r and bracket as well. any ideas anybody?
