So the Scrambler has thrown me a curve ball over the last month or so. It started making a noise that sounds like a medium-pitched humming or whine coming from somewhere around the bell housing, at least that's what it sounds like. My initial thoughts were pilot bushing or throwout bearing but I was hoping to get some second and third opinions before I remove the transmission. Here are the details:
-4.2l w/T5
-Restored 6 years ago by me, engine and trans were left untouched and were in perfect working order, still seem to be.
-replaced rear main seal, throwout bearing but not the pilot bushing or clutch/flywheel
-noise is made with clutch in or out
-noise corresponds to RPM on light revs from 1000-2000...possibly at higher revs but it is drowned out by engine.
-noise is made in gear or out with clutch engaged and disengaged
-noise does not change with clutch engagement which is why I am leaning away from the throwout bearing
Link is a video for assistance in diagnosing the issue. Any help to narrow it down before I start removing components would be appreciated.
