2008 Ram 1500 Clutch Replacement in Glasgow, KY

Not every vehicle that rolls into Wholesale Transmission Center has an automatic transmission, and we want to remind everyone—we work on stick shifts too! That’s exactly what brought this 2008 Ram 1500 into the shop.

The owner complained about a horrible noise coming from the transmission—one that got worse when pressing the clutch pedal. If you’ve ever dealt with a failing throw-out bearing, you know exactly what this sounds like. Squealing, grinding, and an all-around nasty noise that only gets worse over time.

After getting the truck up on the lift and taking a closer listen, we confirmed the issue—the throw-out bearing was completely worn out. If left unchecked, this could lead to even bigger problems, like a damaged clutch fork or excessive wear on the input shaft. With over 15 years on the road, this Ram’s clutch had seen plenty of use, so we recommended a full clutch replacement while we were in there.

To get this manual transmission shifting smoothly again, we:

✅ Replaced the throw-out bearing – The source of the horrible noise, now gone for good.

✅ Installed a new clutch – No point in keeping an old, worn-out clutch when we’re already in the transmission.

✅ Ensured smooth engagement – With everything replaced and reinstalled, we made sure the clutch pedal felt just right.

Once everything was buttoned up, we took the Ram 1500 for a test drive. No more noise, smooth clutch engagement, and perfect shifting—just the way a manual truck should be.

Don't forget we offer towing at a major discount or even free, so even if you are in Glasgow, KY like this customer we can pick it up!

So, if you’re driving a stick shift and notice weird noises, slipping, or difficulty shifting, don’t wait for it to get worse. Bring it to Wholesale Transmission Center in Bowling Green, KY, where we handle manual transmissions just as well as automatics.
