ive had a strange noise in the truck for a while now,it seems to be coming from front of gear box?the noise isnt allways there,after driving for about 3/4-1 hour a bearing noise?? appears but when you push the clutch in the noise decreases to almost 0.a friend thinks it is the spigot bush,but i didnt want to pull gear box and transfer out just to lube the bush,only to find that its not the spigot!any sugestions would be greatly appreciated,thanks!

Really sounds like the pilot bushing for the tranny into the back of your motor...

Sounds like the through out bearing. When you push in the clutch it puts preasure on the bearing and the noise usually goes away then...

It could be the input shaft bearing,too.If clutch action affects it,that`s where you`ll need to look.With the pedal depressed everything is held tight to eliminate any extra tolerance.
