my thought about that we're the same thanks ! I've takin apart that side if the clutch asembly and as it stands I've noticed some sort if play in that department if I didn't adjust my clutch properly is it posible for one of those bearings underneath that plate to fall out and travel down into my trans case which us why I started to hear some pinging noise it got late hear in hawaii and when I got stalked it was in a parking lit with very little tools so had to call for my truck to take this beast home will continue on hopelky this weekend when I get time thanks fir your response any advise right now would be great thanks again my brother aloha post up later on as i tear into it "again" !!!
