Hey all,
I’m getting some growling noises that seem throw out bearing or clutch related. I lean towards clutch as it seemed to “stutter” some when it made the noise. I rebuilt the engine a year ago and had to replace a broken valve spring a few months ago, so exhaust, etc. comes off pretty easy. So I can pull the engine or I have heard I can just drop the tranny as well, pros and cons?

Clutch issues?

Re: Clutch issues?
Alright,
Crawled under and checked front gear oil, trickled out when I removed the bolt. Laid under the car with engine running, definitely some clutch issues, SO I will pull the engine and get her fixed. I may use this as an excuse to attempt to get Terc2 roadworthy first, will have to see. On the bright side, I have a company truck I can drive in the meantime, but it burns more fuel.

PS - Definitely easier to pull the engine, as removal of the entire front differential would be necessary to get to the rear of the engine.

Re: Clutch issues?
clutch chatter can be caused by oil contamination. so check the seals, valve cover gasket, for leaks while you are in there.
you ca drive it with chatter, but eventually it will fatigue the parts and the clutch will fall apart leaving you stuck. It will have to get changed sooner or later, but you do not have to rush to get it done right away.

Re: Clutch issues?
your ? as to pull engine vs pull tranny.
you do not have to spend as much time under the car if you do engine method
that being said I prefer pulling tranny. if you remove input shaft it is easier to drop the Diff/Tranny assy
also easier to reinstall the works if input is installed after tranny/diff is re-installed

Love those Tercell 4x4 wagons but they sure suffer from road noise.
Re: Clutch issues?
Thank you Robert, I’ve never tried that method, will have to sometime.
