I went vacation a last week, left my truck at home to sit. Now that I’m back home I went and started it up like normal and now there is a loud screeching noise coming from the transmission. If I push the clutch in it gets dampened a little bit but still remains. I’m not 100% sure what it might be, was just kinda wondering somethings to look at when I get the chance to pull the transmission.

 

Where are you? What are your ambient temps? Who has access to your truck?

 

Kentucky, here lately it’s been around low 80’s and my brother

 

Did you check the oil level in your trans?

I could imagine a sticking starter (reduction of noise with the clutch pedal pressed coincidence or slight deflection of the flywheel), damaged throwout bearing (coincidence that it happened during your vacation) or something wrong in the tranny. (Oil level first, if OK drain oil through a strainer and see what remains in the strainer)

 

Okay much appreciated, that’s where I’ll start. I’ll get back on once I figure out 100% what it is. Thank you

 

I'd have a chat with bro.......

The only time my rig has ever screeched was -10F in MT. Power steering pump didn't like the cold temps, synthetic fixed that.
