looking at a mechanics special jeep.
its a 1989 jeep cherokee automatic 4.0l 4x4
the previous owner lifted it 4 inches and never reinstalled front driveshaft
( but i doubt that has to do with the problem )

annnyways.
the noise happens when you let off the gas.

when you start to slow down it starts squealing. idk if it has to do with the extra compression pressure ? somehow ? or something in the tranny somewhere. but i know its not brakes, because it happens even if brakes arent pressed.

only took it on a quick test drive so idk if at different speeds anything is different. but at about 25 slowing down the noise is pretty horrible haha..

oh and when i put it in reverse the noise started with idle.. didnt have to be moving or slowing down.. maybe that helps diagnose?

i took a video, working on uploading it so you guys can here the noise im talking bout.

any help would be apprieciated..
i plan on buying the jeep on friday for 600$

 

Transmission, most likely the Throwout bearing.

 

When you say most likely, what else could it be.

 

Dunno lol, i was hoping a more experienced person would comment too.

 

lol oh well thanks for the bump.

hopefully ill get a few more people input before tmrw afternoon

 

Automatic throw-out bearing? Is that anything like a muffler bearing? Do they interchange?


I'll just have to hear the noise. Nothing rings a bell.

It only does it when you let off the gas? None at all when on the throttle?

 

lol ya i woke up this morning and was thinking about it and thought the same thing.. lol waiiitt a seconnd a/t dont have throw out bearings lol.. brain fart last night..

anyways i got the video on youtube through my phone now i just cant find it on youtube...

ill work on it tho

 

so the video isnt gonna upload.

i never stopped filming so its a 6 min video and my phone wont let me upload it to youtube because its too long..

soooo ill just have to show the video to my buddy at work and see what he says
and in the mean time hope somebody on here has had a similar problem and knows what to look for.

 

Oh didn't know only manuals had them LOL
