Noise that i cant find

I am not sure where to put this in the forms. When i'm driving my truck i hit the speed anywhere from 40 to 55 i start to hear this squeal squeak its not constant so i'm thinking it something that is rotating. I can feel it in my shiftier because it is a manual transmission 4 speed. I was thinking that it might be the clutch plate slipping but hesitant on changing it if that's not whats causing the sound. But like i said i'm not 100% sure its the clutch because it still engages when i drive but the clutch pedal seems to be getting a little harder to push in. Any ideas on this sound would be great I know its hard to figure out what it is with out really hearing what it is.

maybe the throw out bearing??

[baller5040]

If i pull the clutch out and look at the plate what things would i be looking for on the clutch plate if it is worn out? same thing with the throw out bearing?

if you pull the clutch out don't look for anything, just replace it. same goes for anything else that easily replaceable while the trans is out.

True but i also dont want to spend money on something that is not need and i want to learn on what i am looking at if its bad or not.

when you change a clutch you traditionally change the throw out bearing , cut the flywheel (or replace it) and swap out your pressure plate.. anything less is a half a job.. its kinda like swapping out a timing belt and not replacing the tensioner ( and water pump if under the belt) on a rice car

I would say that it is probably the throw out bearing. As for stuff to replace while in there, keeping in mind a budget, just do the clutch and bearing. I have done several vehicles on the cheap and have had no troubles.

That said, on the dually I spare no expense
