Turning into my street after driving back from MK and the Jeep is making a lovely sqeek as I push in the clutch to downshift....pull into the garage to a lovely smell. Open the hood and the radiator is spouting and smoking a little...WTF??
I wonder if my fan is slipping?? Temp gauge didn't move as far as I could remember.
Going to wait until it has time to cool down and start it up with the hood up to see what I see.
And coolant level was fine....WTF?
Coolant levels seem fine...started the engine...fairly noisy squeal when I press in the clutch pedal...thoughts?? Safe to drive??
most likely the 2 are unrelated.
in the order of likelyness,
the squeek can be the t/o bearing in friction with the guide around the input shaft or your pressure plate.
there is also the fork that presses the t/o bearing forward, that can also squeek (at the contact points with the bearing).
if your slave pushrod or your opposite rest in the bellhousing have lost the plastic covers those can squeek too (sorry, dunno what they're made of or what they're called but i hope you know what i am referring to)
all these (except for the pressure plate) usually have a light coat of grease, if that ran out, dried or washed out could cause the annoying sounds you're hearing.
