Just so no one's confused,
There is a constant, running ticking that kicks in about 20 - 30 mins after engine run time or after it 'warms up.' This noise stops when you depress the clutch about an inch.
I am sitting at the dealership right now and found:
-Throwout bearing TSB is for 2007
-Clutch Kit TSB is definitely 08, maybe 07
There is also another noise I have when I depress the clutch pedal totally, and it is the 'squeaking' or scratching noise that others are talking about. Not sure if it will be fixed with the TSB work but I'll post an update this afternoon.
Don't ever assume the dealership will tell you about a TSB. Be proactive and go back to the dealership with the TSB number and ask them wtf is up with their system. The regular dealership I go to never mentioned this or found a problem but the one I'm at now found it and is fixing no questions asked.

The clutch one definitely does apply to 07's too.
Your clutch pedal noise, is it kind of a creak? Ours started doing that when the ticking starts. It wouldnt do it any other time, The two TSB's fixed that.

I just got back from my dealership. I showed the tech the TSB's and their numbers. He came back with his computer and pulled up the TSB's. 06-001-08 relates the the squealing clutch. 06-002-07 relates to the throw out bearing. At least thats what his laptop is saying.

might as well why not. tell them it's making the noise and get a new clutch.
thats what im doing. i have the noise sometimes and the gear grinds in reverse sometimes.. i found this to be really strange. and if the idiot behind the counter tells me it's the way im shifting im going to pull him over the counter and beat him with the shifter knob in my sock.

When I go to jeep.com and type in the last 8 digits of my Jeep's VIN number, it says, "No Incomplete Recalls or Customer Satisfaction Notifications Exist ". Should I worry about the TSB? Also, is there a difference between TSB and recalls? Sorry if these are stupid questions but I honestly do not know.

This might be a dumb question, but if the manufacture date of my JK (06/08) is after the tsb was issued, was the problem fixed on the manufacture line or prior to the dealership selling the vehicle? I have not noticed any noises from my clutch, but I only have 900 miles on it.
