just got mine back from the dealer for the chirp noise i had when releasing the clutch. and now....no chirp
they replaced the clutch release bearing and shims and seamed to have fixed my problem....be prepared to be w/o jeep for 1-5 days(5 days for me)
hope this helps
another note--- heard a squeak coming from passenger side when going over slight bumps.....dealer said cause was from "pan flexing on pass. floor tunnel" they repositioned the pan and no more squeak

The floor noise would be a pop sound similar to the old oil cans (think wizard of oz). Let us know how it goes.

I have over 13k miles on mine, and just put in 5.13 gears (running 35's) and now I get the chirp sound when I shift into 2nd and 3rd gear with some load on the tranny. if i drive slow and steady no chirp, but if i'm gunning it, it chirps loud. I don't recall this happening when I had the 3.21's, but then again, I never could gun it then, haha... so I really don't think it's my gears, just the fact that i have more torque on everything now. I'm very afraid of jeep dealers touching my rig, how hard and how expensive is the throw out bearing to replace by yourself?

I think the book calls for 4.5 hours of labor. It is on the TSB. The hardest part is dropping the tranny I would think. Having th room to do the work and then putting it back in. Nothing is that hard if you have the room and the tools.

hmmm... doesn't sound like a fun job. I'm wondering how much BS I'll face trying to take a lifted, abused, re-geared JK in for a TSB now? I don't want to cause a scene, and I would hate to have to drive my rig through the showroom windows (when i loose my temper, crazier things have happened).
