my clutch has been slowly going to shit in my '97 and after selling my '99 i figured i might want to get it fixed.
'97, 4.0, ax-15, np231 - 142k miles
throw out bearin failed about 10k miles ago. fly wheel was replaced and the pressure plate was machined. the jeep drove good for many miles. now going into gears there is a lot of grinding, no matter how much i try to put the pedal through the floor, take my time, or try to meet the RPMs. my original thoughts pointed torwards harmonic balancers or something in the tranny, but ive been swapping back and forth between jeeps lately and the pedal is noticably softer/spongier and the clutch doesnt seem to grab as well.
i suspect the MC, am i on the right track or would you check elsewhere first?
on a side note, ive been thinking of swiching to a full synthetic tranny fluid. ive heard its almost a night and day difference. would that be something worthwhile to do?
