Noisy new 2006 Wrangler TJ

Feb 21, 2007 3 Replies

Hello all. I just have a quick question that I hope someone can put to rest. I have a 2006 Wrangler with 5000 miles on it that I bought brand new. For the first few thousand miles, I didn't hear any noises out of the ordinary. However, lately I have been noticing a faint chirping/squeaking sound when shifting. Doesn't matter whether it's cold outside, because the noise persists even after I have been driving for 45 minutes. When I shift (from 1st to 2nd and from 2nd to



3rd) I hear this noise just about when the clutch is all the way back out. It's not very loud, but I still hear it. I have noticed that if I e-a-s-e the clutch out real slowly, most of the time it will not make this noise. And when going over bumps in the road, I hear squeaking in the front end. Anyone have any ideas? I am not hard on my clutch, and I do not tend to ride the clutch (once in a while, but not often). Any help would be greatly be appreciated. THANKS!

SORRY....I FORGOT TO ASK IS ALL THIS STUFF "NORMAL"?

Well, if my CJ7 stopped making noises I would worry....

The noise you describe 'could' be something like a loose engine or tranny mount. Do both noises sound almost the same? Things like that can happen on a new vehicle and would be likely worth having a look for before it causes damage.

How close are you to the dealer? I'm not trying to be a wise a**, but list your concerns about the noises etc.. and hand it to the service manager at your Jeep dealer. I've got a '04 TJ approaching the 3 year
