Every time I go to press the clutch it squeaks. It seems the only happens through the lower speeds but doesn't happen at high speeds. And also the clutch like to stick 3 quarters of the way up and about one second later kick the rest of the way up and vibrates really bad with barely any depression on the clutch. What could cause this?

 

Yeah, it happened to me at about 5000 miles. Now I have 81000 miles and a wrangler legally classified as a lemon. The stealership could not fix it and refused to replace the tranny even though they had replaced everything but that.

 

Mine has 110,000 miles and it started happening today

 

Also, I forgot to add its a 2007 sahara

 

Check your break fluid, if all is good I would bet its your slave cylinder.
You can try removing it, cleaning and greasing the shaft and re install...if the problem goes away...it will come back...some times within a few days...some times months, but at least you'll know what's wrong. I believe they are around 70 to 80 bucks

 

Could it be the throw-out bearing?

 

After doing a little homework I found 2 TSBs that explain exactly what is going on with the clutch and the pop out of gear.

HOLY SH*T ROB YOU ARE DA MAN!!! First diagnosis will be resolved her very shortly, as with the second, I will check when I get home

 

Thank you, thank you, I try my best.

 

The squeak is pretty normal, but that delayed engagement and chatter or shudder don't sound right at all. My fear is that whatever is causing that delay in engagement probably warped the pressure plate too..
