#115 of 164 2004 Wrangler Transmission Noise by nomad443 Dec 29, 2008 (8:11 am)
Help!   Purchased a 2004 Wrangler Sahara, 4.0, 5 speed, in April this year, 24,000 miles. Carfaxed it and it was clean. Car dealer replaced the ring & pinion for me. My question is what causes the transmission noise (?) when the clutch is released? When the clutch is depressed it stops. How to describe it? Grinding may be too harsh. Vibratiing? Chattering? The mechanic at the used car dealer claims it's the meshing of the gears. The service manager at the local Jeep dealership said the same thing. He even said the "new ones do it". Is this something to worry about? Is this American quality? Or is it "just a Jeep"? Thanks for anyone's input.   nomad443 Replies to this message: jnahikian15 (Oct 30, 2009 6:00 am)
#117 of 164 Slipping out of gear by alskdjfhg Jan 25, 2009 (1:56 pm)
I have a 88 wrangler with a 6" lift, but the transmission was never lowered. I recently broke the u joint straps twice in the last month, and will be switching to a new yoke and u bolts, but when I tried to drive home with the just the front wheels engaged it kept popping out of 4 wheel. I am worried that the worn yoke and broken straps may have to do something with the tranny too, not just the lift with no dropped tranny. Maybe too much vibration? Any ideas? Thanks.

Replying to: alskdjfhg (Jan 25, 2009 1:56 pm) Yes, I suspect the vibration from your wildly misaligned propshafts is causing it to jump out of gear.   You need more than new a new yoke and 'U' bolts, The straps are breaking because they're being overloaded. If the 'U' bolts are strong enoughto remain intact then the 'U' joint will be the next to break.   Go HERE for a good explanation of your problem and how to fix it.

My transmission is hard to shift, especially when it is cold. It ets somewhat easier when the motor warms up, but even then its hard. Any suggestions? Replies to this message: roadburner (Jan 31, 2009 8:13 pm) erickpl (Feb 02, 2009 6:16 am)

Replying to: jtmathman (Jan 31, 2009 10:29 am) Your transmission may be filled with the wrong type of gear oil. I suggest that you drain it and refill it with the correct oil. Replies to this message: erickpl (Feb 02, 2009 6:16 am)

#122 of 164 5th Gear Burned Out? by ebess Feb 11, 2009 (7:14 am)
I have a 98 4clyinder 5 speed and was driving on the highway in 5th the other day when the gear just went out. All other gears work but I get nothing in 5th. No prior problems with the transmission, replaced the clutch in December 07.   Have I burned the gear up or is there a possibility it's something else?

Replying to: ebess (Feb 11, 2009 7:14 am) Have I burned the gear up or is there a possibility it's something else?   Whatever happened, it can't be fixed without removing and dismantling the transmission. If there's no additional noise from the transmission the cost of parts will likely be minimal, but the labor cost will be the same whatever the cause.
