Aloha All I brought the 4000 home after some
considerable pasture mowing. I have a noticeable
ticking sound when the clutch is engaged either in
the bell housing area or in the transmission.When
the clutch is disengaged of course no ticking sound.
I can hear the sound only when the engine is idling.
Sometimes I hear a winding sound in the clutch area.

throw out bearing is what i'd look for.. ps.. don't have the freeplay nonexistant do ya?

if so the fingers can grind off..e tc...
 
Aloha Sound Guy Mahalo for your quick response. I do have over an inch of free play on the clutch pedal.Mahalo Mike
 
that's good. not grinding them down. however if it only happens when pressed.. still makes me think the TOB is seized or going anyway..

good to ehar from you by the way!
 
When you talk about the clutch being engaged... are you meaning that the pedal is depressed? I would tend to think of clutch engagement in literal terms in that engaged means it's transmitting power...
If the noise occurs when the pedal is depressed... I'd say you have a problem with either the release bearing, clutch fingers or the pilot bearing. If you're splitting it... it might be just as well to replace all of the above depending on how things look. That said.... if the pilot bearing is going bad... you don't want to wait as it could weld itself to the input shaft and that won't be pretty.

Aloha RodInNs The ticking sound only occurs when the clutch is engaged transmitting power. When the clutch pedal is disengaged no ticking sound. Mahalo Mike
