  • Clutch groaning

    Hi guys.

    I could really do with some help with a weird problem with my Prado 90 series 3.4 v6.

    It had a new throw out bearing replaced just before I purchased it 6 months ago. For the last 2 months I've noticed a weird groaning sort of noise. It Only happens when releasing the clutch in 1st and only when under a bit more stress so on a steep hill or trying to get out of super soft sand. It doesn't do it all the time and doesn't really seem to be any pattern to it. I've read it could be flywheel or pressure plate problems and I was wondering if either of these are problems to worry about or can I just keep driving? There are no problems when changing gear and nothing else seems wrong. Any help would be great!
    Thanks,
    Luke

    Sounds like the thrust bearing is stuffed to me.

      Do you feel any vibration/grinding through the clutch pedal or can you just hear it?

        Thanks for the replys. I'll have a look into the thrust bearing. No its just the noise I hear. It has to be under stress or it operates perfectly! Cheers

          Useless doing this over the net, take it to a clutch specialist, not your everyday mechanic.
          Has the symptoms of dry spigot bearing and a specialist will diagnose in a flash.

            Yeah for sure. It had a new spigot bearing 6 months ago so I'll take it back to them and hopefully won't have to pay anything else in labour costs if that is the case. Thanks a lot.
