Integrity Automotive wants to emphasize how important proper car maintenance is to your vehicle. This is a 2001 Dodge Dakota with a bad throwout bearing in the clutch of the truck. The throwout bearing is part of your car (or truck) clutch system that temporarily disengages the engine from the manual transmission while shifting.
Unfortunately this customer heard the noise and let it go a little too long. What could have been just a throwout bearing replacement will probably also be a new clutch assembly, and we’re hoping not the transmission as well.
