99 4.0l Sport AX-15 NP231 d30 front 8.25 back 3.07 Gears Stock tire size and ride height 201,000 miles
Okay so yesterday I was coming home and minutes before this happened my blower resistor failed... Anyways I was shifting from 2nd to 3rd and my clutch stuck in. I paniced and bonked the pedal really hard to unstick it and then when i went down to push it again I heard a really bad grinding sound and then i cut off the motor. While i was sitting waiting for the tow I put the transfer case in neutral and the shifter on the tranny out of gear, because i wanted to use the ac ( it was a little warm in miami yesterday) What happened next was weird the engine cranked incredibly slow and from the hood it smelled like burning electric from the starter working in overtime. When I only tried to start it for 4-6 seconds
What the heck could have gone on inside of the clutch to cause this? i'm going to be tearing it apart this weekend to see what i'm dealing with, but when i talked to my mechanic friends no one understood the reason for a really really slow and hard start..
