Groaning Clutch
When I drive my truck and its had a chance to warm up every time I push in or let out the clutch pedal it groans. This has been happening since I got the truck and even after I put a new Clutch and pressure plate in it and greased everything up it still does it. I've trying greasing a couple things on the linkage but it still groans.
Does anyone else have this problem or have any ideas what it could be.

Re: Groaning Clutch
hey there i had for a while a 76 that had been sitting for a while before i got it and it had been an old farm truck. anyway my clutch did the same thing and it was actually the return spring under the dash that was doing it... when i swapped out the cab for a newer one, i wound up using a different spring that got rid of the problem

Re: Groaning Clutch
I'd start looking at the parts you didn't change. If the noise is coming from inside the cab I'd start with the clutch petal bushings, neutral safety switch, linkage boots, the linkage connection at the petal, also try tightening the two bolts that attach the cluch petal together( petal arm is two pieces). If it,s coming from outside throw out fork, throw out fork boot, lube the bell crank and ball, and all other linkage points.

Re: Groaning Clutch
Sounds like a bad throwout bearing...

Re: Groaning Clutch
Has a brand new throwout bearing in it. Could be I didnt do a good job greasing it though. I cant hear any groaning if I lay under the truck while someone pumps the clutch pedal.

Re: Groaning Clutch
Find every single metal/metal contact point in the clutch linkage, including everything under & behind the dash and lube them. I've got one spot under the dash that needs a squirt of WD40 every 4-5 months, else it groans just like you describe.
