Just an update here... went for a long drive tonight.. I don't hear the sound anymore so maybe it was just the clutch working in... weird..
Further to the squeek being gone.. what felt like slack before in the drivetrain must have been also in the clutch.. feels alot tighter now when you shift.. less torqueing on the engine if that makes sense...maybe all related to a crappy sloppy defective disc

Had my clutch disk replaced yesterday under the TSB. I picked it up and took it home last night...the squeak is gone!
They replaced the clutch disk and the throwout bearing.
In addition to noiseless shifts now, everything feels much tighter and the clutch engages much more firmly than before.
Thumbs up to my dealer service department. They have always done a great job for me and never given me any hassles. If you are in the north Orlando area, Courtesy Chrysler Jeep of Sanford.

Could this cause a rattling/vibrating sound instead? My jeep make a loud vibrating sound off and on when I hit and maintain 3000 rpms. Each time it's been in they can't replicate the noise. I even took it out with them and it didn't do it. It tends to do it more after it's been warmed up.

Alot of you say you have replaced the clutch disc and throwout bearing, any of you just replace the clutch disc and squeak gone? I brought them the TSB for the clutch disc, and on the TSB the only part to order and replace is the disc itself. So anyone just have this done and nothing else?

Brought my car into a dealership to have this done. Picked it up later that day because the part being replaced is on "national backorder?" This dealership has been shady in the past, so should I bring it somewhere else or is this "national backorder" real?
