clutch noise!

when the truck has been driven a bit and comes to operating temp its now making this noise when my foot is off the clutch but when i push it all the way in the clutch stops making noise.

its something in there making a clattering noise at first i thought it was the ac unit but, i realized the other night it was in fact my clutch. so to recap foot off the clutch clattering noise foot depressing the clutch no noise wtf its a brand new truck that i never take above 3,000 rpm?

 

The throw out bearing could cause that.

 

I noticed the same issue on mine over the last few months.

OP is 4 cyl - TSB is for 6 speed V6 only. Search for "diesel sound". It has something to do with the AC putting more load on idle engine. No one has officially acknowledged it yet though.

 

yes it absolutely has something to do with the ac. when the compressor kicks on and your foot is off the clutch it clatters and sounds horrible but, if you press the clutch in the noise stops clutch out chattering again.

the air blows ice all day but sounds fucking horrible its to the point now where it has been to toyota of turnersville twice for this noise and the acfan squeaking they can't seem to reproduce the problem at all. the next time it happens i'm driving there no matter what so they can get a listen to it.

if it is the throw out bearing what does that entail do they have to take the trans apart to get to it? i have to say i'm not thrilled t the idea of them taking my new truck apart for a problem that has been affecting many tacomas. same thing can be said for the climate control fan. i guess i'm just not understanding why there have been no ends to these problems. seems a little extra gay to me.

 

it started in the winter time so maybe having the ac on just exacerbates the noise because i can remember hearing it in the colder months as well when i know i did not have the ac on. i'm running the 4cyl 5 speed manual trans psu so idk if the tsb will count for mine but, it sure sounds like a rattle and it does it when the clutch is out and stops when i depress it so it must be the same issue.

 

A/C seems to exacerbate noise because of the additional load on engine.

This has been going on for a few years now still no fix here:

Not taking the trans apart piece by piece, but getting to the TOB requires this -

Add me to this list. It sounds like my clutch is eating itself and shifts like crap. Under 10k miles here.

 

4cyl 5 speed here. had the throw out bearing replaced around 20,000 miles and it is back again at 50k. i also have a terrible squeak/creak coming from what im guessing is the slave cylinder? the piece on the side of the gearbox with the rubber boot on it and a bleeder valve is what im trying to describe... if i mess with the cycliner by hand i can get the noise to go away and every now and then while driving around town i notice the noise going away... no experience with standard transmissions here

it's a terrible noise!

 

The point where the slave boot meets at a metal tip point contacts the shift fork. This is where the majority of the noise happens. You need to get some lubrication in there.

The lazy way is to spray lithium grease there every time. This won't last long but doesn't require much effort. The proper way is to unbolt the slave and use heavy bearing grease on the tip and fork contact. This should last longer. It sucks, but this is how it was designed.

 

Gents, has anybody found a solution to this? It has been 3 years since the last post

 

There is a 2.7 clutch TSB out. Not sure if it's related to the original issue posted, but here is a thread I started a while ago and was resolved.

TSB number is in my last post of the thread. Good Luck!
