Angry sparrows was the centering ball, but whats this other squeak?
HELP: Desperately in need of someone who knows their sh-tuff!
So, after developing the "Angry Sparrows" thing, I purchased 3 u-joints and the centering ball assembly in order to rebuild my Front Driveshaft.
I got the parts in and removed my driveshaft. Just to be certain that i was on the right track, i drove around the block with it off.
The original, louder "Sparrow" noise was gone. So that definitely played a part. But there is still a squeaking noise whenever I drive slowly (under 10+/-) with a gear selected. If I press my clutch pedal down, the sound will go away INSTANTLY. even if its in "mid-squeak".
if i leave it in first as i creep along (1-5mph +/-) the sound is very noticeable.
once i increase my speed (5-10mph +/-) i guess the speed is then high enough for it to not be so much of a "squeak/groan" and more of a faint "sink-sink-sink" sound.
I tried it in first AND second, it still happens. as long as the speed is around 5-10mph, AND as long as the clutch is engaged, it makes more or less the same noise. Cant test it in anything more than 2nd since the vehicle speed it to low, but i assume that if i could it would still do it.
So here are my symptons in a nutshell:
1)Noise-seems tied to vehicle speed.
2)Does not seem gear specific
3)Noise will disappear INSTANTLY once I dis-engage the clutch, even if im still going the same speed (5mph +/-) that causes the noise with the clutch otherwise engaged.
4)Front DS has been removed, and all this is occurring with it not installed.
any ideas?

yep. throw out bearing.
it will soon get really loud.
start putting away for clutch/pressure plate/throw out bearing/pilot bearing/spring and pivot bolt.

what year is this xj? i just realized if it's the 93 you have listed, i'm not sure if they are internal or external slave yet for that year.
i've done lots of newer ax15 clutches with external slave, so those parts i listed are for these trans.
that vid is for ax15 external.
