I was just reading in another section has anyone heard anything about this?

Yes , check the TSB section, look for "improper pre-load on the throw-out bearing".

 

All jk's with 6-speed have to be brought in to the dealer for this ? Is this a recall?

 

in the TSB it says to put it in neutral with the parking brake on. then turn it on and depress the clutch slowly to the floor. if there's any point where you get a squeal/squeak, then you need it. mine doesn't squeak. plus my build date is feb 16th. i'm hoping mine got out of the factory just after this was figured out and the fix is likely included.

Mine does this too. It was fine at the dealer and when I drove 75 miles home it started. Its louder now after about 250 miles. I just fear the fix may be worse than the problem. The tranny shifts fine now. If those monkeys take it all apart it may make things worse. I can't hear the noise when I am driving and I don't let it sit and Idle while I stand outside talking so it really does not bother me that much. If it gets terrable then I may let them muck with it.

I feel the same way about the dealer .I always think they will make things worse or break something else while there repairing the vehicle. I have about 800 miles on mine and so far NO squeeks or clutch noise at all. Only time will tell........

 

Gentlemen, please listen up. . . .I had my Sahara in for the throw-out TSB repair this week. It took 2.5 days instead of the 1 necessary. My dealership had to "cut" off bolts to remove the exhaust to get to the tranny to perform the service. Ok, I can understand that. But, when I picked it up on Friday, the "check engine" light was on. After checking the computer code reader, it turns out that the tech melted my O2 sensor wires on the replaced exhaust system!! SIX days later, it's FINALLY ready!!

Be forewarned that you make sure these so-called factory-trained techs know what the H@#l they're doing BEFORE you schedule your work.

 

Again, as I said above in my post. I don't want these monkeys messing with my jeep unless it is really broken. If the sound just gets unbearable then I may think about it. Sorry you had to go through this. Please keep us updated on how the repair faired. Is the noise completly gone now? Does your jeep drive any different?

Dealers can kizz my big toe! Thats all they get and I wasnt even gona let em do that!

 

I got my Sahara back and the dealership performed the proper repair on the throw-out TSB. However, putting me out for 6 days, they only credited me the damage waiver on the rental car (a crappy PT Cruiser; no offense to people who own one), and gave me a free oil change (whoopity S%$#)!

Well, my Jeep runs great and It'll NEVER be back to that dealership again!

If ya'll have to have yours repaired, watch your dealers service dept. like a hawk.
