By far , this is one of the largest flaws in the designing of the clutch . Toyota and Aisn should be ashamed as they do not allow enough clutch adjustment to keep the throw out bearing from turning .

CHECK YOUR CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT !!!!! DONT WAIT FOR YOUR THROW OUT BEARING TO BLOW UP. Some of you are just reading this now and may be too late
This will help you determine if you need a new bearing .
Your throw out bearing is semi-centrifical which means its only pre-loaded when you push your pedal down .When your foot is off the clutch pedal , the throw out bearing is NOT suppose to turn and shouldnt be pre-loaded against the pressure plate fingers .The adjustment is made under the dash at the pedal and master pushrod adjustment .As your clutch wears in , the throw out bearing begins to turn all the time and wears the bearing out premature unless a clutch adjustment is made . The chirping you are hearing is the point in time where your throw out bearing begins to touch the pressure plate fingers .The pressure plate is spinning and the throw out bearing is stationary . Your clutch is starting to wear in a little and this is an early warning that its time to re-adjust the clutch and is how these clutches have operated for very long time .
When this happens , The sound will only be noticeable in neutral with the truck running . When you push the clutch pedal down , the throw out bearing will start turning and the chirping will go away .Some people believe that the bearing is suppose to turn all the time which is totally incorrect .The throw out bearing is "not" designed to be preloaded against the fingers of the pressure plate . Other members make adjustments to their clutch without knowing how a diaphram style clutch works and tell the world they fixed the chirping but really all they did was make the bearing turn all the time - the noise went away so it must be fixed " WRONG " Wrong Wrong .
A diaphram style clutch works like a pivot . As the clutch disc wears in , the fingers on the pressure plate move towards the throw out bearing . Anyone who has changed out their clutch will notice as you are bolting down the new pressure plate to the flywheel , the pressure plate fingers will move outwards towards the release bearing until you have all the bolts torqued down . The same thing occurs as your clutch disc begins to wear in.THE PRESSURE PLATE FINGERS MOVE TOWARDS THE RELEASE BEARING .This is what is happening to your truck
Even if you have a new clutch installed at a garage , make sure the free play adjustment is done correctly since some mechanics skip this step and actually use procedures used by Ford to fix your Toyota and accidently send you on your way with a spinning preloaded bearing .Your new bearing is "NOT " going to last as long if its preloaded against the pressure plate fingers because preloading increases as the clutch disc begins to wear .This means that when the clutch is new and adjusted correctly , there is no weight on the bearing . As the clutch disc starts to break in , the weight on the bearing doubles .Print out the FSM free play adjustment and take it to the shop thats doing your clutch job so they have instructions to follow . 99 % of the new vehicles sent from the factory are delivered with a spinning throw out bearing and you wonder why there are hundreds of owners all having the same problem .
There are other issues with the throw out bearing . The above issue is only one of them . Chirp in neutral is the easiest way to describe it . To further prove my point , read the TSB http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forum...ch-bearing.pdf
HERE IS HOW TO MAKE THE FREE PLAY ADJUSTMENT http://www.customtacos.com/tech.old...6toyrm/06toypdf/06rmsrc/rm2006ta/02900510.pdf
If you want to double check that you did the adjustment correctly , remove the clutch lever boot and shine a flashlight into the bellhousing and make sure the release bearing is " NOT " turning while the truck is running in neutral .If the bearing continues to turn , increase the free play under the pedal at the adjustable push rod
Clutch Release Bearing (sometime called the Throw-out bearing)As its name implies, this is the bearing that releases the clutch. It is often referred toas a "throw-out" bearing. They come on a number of different style carriers. The carriers, in some cases, vary considerably with the particular engine.Because the release bearing only works when the clutch is being released it usually lasts quite a long time. However, improper linkage adjustment or riding the clutch with your foot when driving can wear the bearing prematurely. Normally there should be a minimum of 1/16" clearance between the face of the bearing and the three release fingers or diaphragm spring of the pressure plate when the clutch is engaged. This fact is important and will be discussed further when we get to the part about setting up the clutch linkage.
REMEMBER... Engineers guide an industry in which the majority of them have absolutely no practical experience whatsoever.
The throw out bearing must NOT ride on the pressure plate. I challenge ANYONE and that INCLUDES Toyota technicians, Luk clutchrepresentatives, advice or quotes from Toyota trained mechanics or anyone else who say's otherwise. It's BS that "modern" throw out bearings are "designed" to run with zero clearance to the pressure plate fingers. You cant compress brake fluid .Therefore if Toyota requests a pedal free play , the adjustment is needed to prevent the release bearing from turning period . There is no preoload adjustment in the fsm or any explanation from Toyota on how to acheive a preloaded release bearing to indicate it,s a constant bearing. Until you can prove otherwise , the release bearing doesnt turn.If you put your flashlight between the release arm to see if the bearing is turning, chances are it was misadjusted at the factory.Have you tried to adjust the pedal free play ?Have you tried adjusting your master cylinder pushrod ? Not sure where some of the technicians were schooled , perhaps they were misinformed . Can you explain why members here, after making the above adjustment made their noise go away by removing the preload?
.And everyone wonders why the Tacoma,s have so many problems with the throw out bearing ?

If you still have a factory clutch , find a way to lubricate the shaft that the throw out bearing rides on . The lube Toyota uses wears out too quick

WHAT DOES THE PILOT BEARING DO ?
When you push your clutch pedal down to the floor the clutch disc is pulled away from the flywheel . The purpose of the pilot bearing is to support the radial load of the spinning clutch disc when the clutch disc is moved away from the flywheel . A clutch disc doesnt seem heavy when you hold it in your hands , but think about when you dump your clutch at 5000 rpm . Here is the catch .... Your 6 speed doesnt use a pilot bearing . The input shaft on the 6 speed has been beefed up , the front transmission bearing has been beefed up and the input shaft to output shaft bearing has been beefed up to compensate for the missing pilot bearing . With this said , I still beleive Aisn Warner needs to do a little more homework and in my opinion should have left the pilot bearing in place . From what I can tell ,some of you guys are having far too many release bearing issues and I believe one of the reasons is because of the missing pilot bearing .

What does the clutch accumulator do ? Can you remove it and will your clutch continue to function ?
