Hello TJ'ers,
Bought the 2005 4.0 Sport three weeks ago. Darn near perfect in every way. A week ago, strange metal spinning on metal sounds emerge underneath. The pitch of it changes when sitting at idle, in neutral and clutch depressed. When driving, I can hear the sound as well, regardless of gearing. Continued occurrence for a few days. Then one day CEL comes on. Hook up to OBDII and it's P0153 (2,1). Couple days later, I change the oil to Pennzoil Platinum 10w30. Sound goes away for one day. Quiet running. Then last night the same sound underneath re-emerges but then the CEL goes away. Strange.
I'm guessing the sounds are either input bearing or TOB or something do with clutch interface? I have all four NGK/NTK O2 sensors, new in box, ready to install in case the CEL returns.
What would y'all do in this situation?
Thanks,
Bryce
