Throwout bearing again!!

just ordered the PDM kit for the Tacoma. will install next week with a centerforce stage II kit. Hope this will solve the problem, will let you know how it turns out..

 

needs a new bell housing with retainer which is part of the bell housing if it is a 6 spd

 

they said it's not under warranty and if the sound is really bothering me then to pay 2000 to get the clutch replaced. so i don't have 2G's to spend! any words of advise?

 

my 05 6spd w/45k on it is doing this now. it's getting worse and worse... ughh i love toyota's but this kinda sucks..

 

If this were the case your clutch plate would show wear marks possibly chips if this were the case. Sometime those guys don't know their heads from their asses. I take my truck to a toyota specialist. I don't dare step in the door at the dealership. These guys give me great prices on everything... you should try finding someone that specializes only in toyota.

 

Just got my truck back, replaced entire clutch assembly. Ok for now, hope it stays that way.

 

ok first post but ive been monitoring the sight for weeks now looking at what i want my next truck to look like i bought it noticed the chirp as soon as guy started it and he knocked off another 250 dollars thinking i would replace the throw out bearing and be on the road again.... NO found this thread yesterday and read up ordered the pdm this morning 200 dollars shipped to my door i ll post my success or failure pending. by the way my new to me truck has 77,000 miles 06 dcab sport 4x4

 

Look at it this way, you saved yourself $50. Goodluck with your install.

 

Mine started chattering after a trip to and from New Mexico. 68K on the truck, but I bought it used with 60K on it, so I don't know if it was a problem in the past. I guess I'll take a peek and see if it is wobbling tomorrow.

My thoughts on the PDM kit: it sounds like a good fix, but if for whatever reason it goes out, you can't run down to O'Reilly's or VatoZone and get another; you'll have to wait for another to ship from PDM. Not really what I want to do.

 

ok got it in took between 8 and 10 hours for slow me to drop it drive on the sleeve. dropping the trans is alot more involved than my old 22r swamp buggy. i had more trouble getting the wiring harness off the top and and back on due to no slack. all i lack is 2 new exhaust flange gaskets for each side where i disconnected they looked burnt nearly out so i ordered new which will be at parts store in more. ill give a follow up on chirp stop or what happens. wish me luck and remember me and my truck in your prayers tonight. ha ha no seriously

 

Just got the truck back from Eric at KC Customs, they do awsome work. Had the URD stage 2 clutch installed and also the parts from PDM. Cant believe what a difference there is. No more chirping, no more grinding when going from 1st to 2nd and 4th to 5th. The truck shifts the way I have always thought it should.

 

I got a chirp in nuetral yesterday...Today a chirp at 2500 RPM?....33,000 miles.

 

any updates? anyone with any advice on this kit? i'm thinking of picking it up for my truck..

 

I have had my 2.7 2010 with 4500 miles in for this 2 times. And they are giving me the run around. Says its more of a annoyance issue. Any advice?

(mine only happens when the a/c cycles on and off and the truck is in Nuetral. Once i push the clutch in it goes right away, turn the a/c and its fine.)

 

One of these days I'll fix mine

 

Anybody in the San Luis Obispo, CA area had any luck with the local dealers on this one? I'm in SLO, but the dealer here is claiming they have never heard of the problem. Is it worth driving to Santa Maria or Lompoc? Anybody have any good experiences to report? I would rather not try to educate a group of guys who don't seem to want to be helpful.

 

mine been making sounds lately and I just found this thread.. ffffuuuuu this sucks. im at 58,000+ miles.

 

Alright so 11 pages is alot to read so I am prepared flamed:

I got 41k on my 2.7L 5 speed manual. I have this same damn problem. Some people got theirs fixed, some like the OP are still having issues. If I went into Toyota with my 41k mile truck and asked them to fix this noise/throughout bearing..would they or would they not look at/fix under warranty?

 

Subd, makes me wonder if I really want a 6speed 2011 when I get my truck. I hate driving an automatic though.

 

Jim do you own a supra? lol
