Replying to: mat4 (Apr 21, 2008 2:30 pm) There's no quick and easy fix unless it's an issue with the transmission end of the gearstick. Otherwise, remove the transmission and either strip, fix, and rebuild, or replace with a remanufactured unit.

Replying to: mac24 (Apr 01, 2008 6:57 am) Just an update on the 1991. I ended up draining the oil in preparation to have a very trusted transmission mechanic look it over. When I drained the oil it looked like Goldschlager!!!! Anyway, Autozone has dyno tested re-manufactured AX-15 for $1130. That the route I have taken. New u joints, tranny, clutch....now I suppose the engine will be next. Thanks for all the responses and advise. I sold the core to the mechanic and he is giving me a slice of the profits after he rebuilds it.   NOW here is the big question. Do I go with GL-3, Redline MT90 or Syncromesh? Sounds like the Syncromesh is the way to go or Redline MT-90. Replies to this message: erickpl (Apr 22, 2008 12:31 pm)

#86 of 164 94 wrangler clutch issues by skimsurf Apr 26, 2008 (6:25 pm)
I recently removed my transmission and had it rebuilt. The clutch was replaced about a year ago, and it is visually in good shape. I re-installed the transmission and once everything was reconnected I attempted to start and drive it. I depressed the clutch and it went down hard, as if caught on something, I pressed it to the floor, and it lost all pressure. It does not stay on the floor, but when depressed to the floor there is no way to put it into gear. So the clutch is always engaged. I added hydraulic fluid, and held the clutch to the floor for 10 seconds. Still nothing. I have a Haynes wrangler book, and in the troubleshooting section it has a number of different reasons why this could be doing what it is. One of them is air in the lines, and the solution is to bleed the them. I am really hoping it is air in the lines, but I really dont have a clue in the clutch department. Does anyone have any ideas aside from removing the tranny again, and realigning the clutch to ensure it is in the correct position? I am undertaking the deed at sunrise tomorrow, so any feedback would be great ASAP! Thanks. Replies to this message: vepr223 (Apr 27, 2008 4:53 am)

Replying to: mac24 (Apr 01, 2008 6:57 am) UPDATE -- Installed new transmission, clutch and slave. WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR. Good pedal, etc. Lifelong Jeep / drive train specialists baffled as well as a my friend, CarMax master mechanic. I later thought the surfaces may just be mated together and needed a little loosening up. I revved the vehicle to 5K for about a second and it started shifting just fine. Reverse grinds occasionally but other than that it drives fine. I wanted to share simply because the others can't explain how this would do anything. Anyone feel there may still be an underlying issue that should be addressed or just drive the vehicle and hope all is well. I personally think the flywheel may have been cut to thin -- I had it turn by a very reputable machine show who does all Firestone and Goodyear work on drive train parts. I would imagine they mic'd the flywheel! Thanks for everyones responses.

Replying to: skimsurf (Apr 26, 2008 6:25 pm) The smallest amount of air could cause the issue. Bleed the slave through a clear hose and have someone assist. I would gravity bleed first. Is it an internal or external slave? If internal did you remove the slave? If so, did you make sure to use a new clip on the alignment pin?
#89 of 164 Is it my transmission? by cr1412 Apr 28, 2008 (10:49 am)
Just recently had automatic transmission replaced with remanufactured tranny from Chrysler on my 1997 Sahara. I picked up the vehicle and all appeared okay. But no more than 15 miles from the dealer, I started hearing a clicking noise. I was almost home, so I kept going- but when I hit 50 mph or so, I heard such a screaming noise from the engine that my friend driving behind me (he drove me to the dealer) heard it over his radio. I immediately pulled over, and the screaming noise stopped, and then it appeared to be fine. We had it towed back up to the dealer, and of course they cannot recreate the noise. With the combination of clicking and then the whining scream, could it be that it was not the transmission in the first place? I have already spent 2k and am not in the mood to hear they "made a mistake", but I am really worried this might perhaps be the transfer case? Replies to this message: jimlw2 (Jun 05, 2008 2:59 pm)

Replying to: cr1412 (Apr 28, 2008 10:49 am) Way too late for a meaningful response to you since by now you've likely found the culprit...your experience sounded like one I had with a Chevy Beretta in the 1990s...ended up being a spring in the rear drum brakes got dislodged after some service work and was getting jammed between rotating metal in the drum brake assembly...made quite the scream until I stopped or after being in reverse until I figured it out. Hope you got it figured out.
