I have a 92 XJ with the 5 speed tranny.
Now, first off it makes a lot of funny noises and does some weirds things. To me it just sounds like the sycros are shot, but other have said it needs a general rebuild...
From a stop, its definitely not easy to put it into 1st or 2nd, you pretty much have to force it. 3rd and up, it just slips right into. However, if the truck is rolling even the tiniest little bit, 1st and 2nd are just as easy as all the rest...
Also, theres a sound, which sounds like a release bearing, thats comes/goes when i press/depress the clutch pedal. However it's coming from inside the tranny. When I have the shifter out, you can tell it's inside the tranny, and not the release bearing(what is like 3 weeks old), When you press the clutch its gone, when you release the clutch it's noticable.
Also I've read these are fully syncronized transmissions. Sometimes before putting it in reverse I have to put it into first then reverse, otherwise all I get is grinding, which can be stopped by letting it grind for a second.
Also(yes another one), when on the highway, in 4th or 5th, theres an almost rattling noise in the tranny, but only in 4th and 5th, a lot more noticable in 5th, and MUCH more noticable when on the gas.
Sometimes to me it just seems as if the clutch is out of adjustment, for the hard shifting and reverse things, but I don't see a way to adjust it? Am I dumb or is this design? The clutch itself was replaced around 3 weeks ago, everything.
Any and all information appreciated. Thanks in advance.
