I've had the clutch squeak since day one, over 18 months ago.
At first my dealer "didn't hear it". But after I pushed the issue for several visits and calls to Chrysler, they finally "heard" it. This was right around the time that the TSB came out, so I didn't want to let them touch it that soon. I basically lived with the squeak for another year and finally had the TSB for the clutch disk done last week (11,991 miles!).
Of course, they didn't hook back up the Xfer case linkage or the inner shift boot, but I expected this and had them fix both while I waited (It's so nice knowing more than the dealers).
So, she now drives much nicer. No squeak at all, but also just a much smoother clutch engagement in general and much smoother shifts as a result.
Worth the wait for sure.

I just had both TSB's performed on my jeep. Shifts much smoother but the clutch engagement is at the floor, literally. Before I only had to depress the clutch pedal halfway to shift. Anybody have this problem?

Since we've resurrected this thread from the dead. Does anyone who's had the clutch tsb done now have a clunking/chattering noise from what sounds like the exhaust cross over pipe? I looked underneath mine and it appears that the dealer just cut the pipe from the manifolds in order to replace the transmission without pulling the header pipes. They just welded the pipe back together. It mostly does it when it's cold and the engine is under a load, like during acceleration.
Is this normal maintenance procedure?
