    Can't shift while driving (except 3rd&5th)

    Well I dun goof'd on that first post, I actually have a '92, for some reason I was thinking of my brother's 95 when I posted. So unfortunately I do not have an external slave. Good points to look for Matthew. You can pump the clutch to you hearts content and it never changes anything. I'll...

    Can't shift while driving (except 3rd&5th)

    WB9YZU- The PO claimed they replaced the clutch, but technically I have no proof. I've never had issues with it slipping that I could notice at least. It does not creep forward while cranking if the clutch is depressed. Truckedup- I forgot to mention reverse. The answer is a definite no. To...

    Can't shift while driving (except 3rd&5th)

    1995 XJ, 4.0l, AX-15, 250k+ Trying to diagnose a transmission issue so I can get the Jeepie up and running for the snow time (little Miata ain't going anywhere fast in deep Omaha snow). The symptoms are as follows: When the Jeep is running and at a full stop, you can only shift into 3rd or...

    Better MPG.... Ran out of things to check

    For the sake of number comparison, my setup: '92 XJ, Stock 4.0l HO, 3.07gears, 5sp, 3" bastard pack lift, 31x10.5 Grabber AT2s, non-corrected speedo (even tho GPS says it's spot on...) with ~250K mi. I get 15mpg city, 17-18,mpg hwy. If the ambient temp is over 80*F for the duration of a whole...

    Clunking only in 4wd, not ujoints

    That makes a hell of a lot more sense! Thank you for the break down.

    Clunking only in 4wd, not ujoints

    Don't think I'll have time to jack it up today, but noticed a weird noise on the interstate. When driving 50+ and accelerating, if I let off the throttle to coast I feel a quick vibration, then nothing. At first I thought it might be binding on the rear ujoints, but checked and saw no wear. I...

    Clunking only in 4wd, not ujoints

    Makes sense. Will try to get it jacked up today between classes. Side note- I was looking at my fill/drain plugs on the TC, the drain plug looks fine, but the fill plug looks like it might be about stripped. Didn't know if i should bother topping the off, or just wait till I diagnosis...

    Clunking only in 4wd, not ujoints

    One main thing I was curious about- will a slapping chain still slap in 4wd with the front shaft taken out? Without the front shaft in it makes no noise, ever. I know without load the dynamics change, but didn't know if that the stretched chain would should symptoms regardless.

    Clunking only in 4wd, not ujoints

    Ok, when you guys say "spin," you arent specificing the parameters. 1st? 2nd? 3rd? 4lo? 4hi? On ground, on jackstands? With AM, or FM on? The first video has the transmission in neutral and the TC in 2wd, no noise whatsoever and spins freely. I stated the jeep was still with all four wheels on...

    Clunking only in 4wd, not ujoints

    Sticking my pinky in the front diff cover. Drips on paper towel are from that pinky dip. Video of another pinky dip. Video of rotating pinion with hand. No abnormal noise, grinding or general weirdness. Pushed hard enough to roll jeep forward about 6in with no apparent teeth skipping or...

    Clunking only in 4wd, not ujoints

    It's not a c.a.d. axle, solid axle shafts both sides. I was at a friends house helping my brother install his alarm, and was able to pull it inside and at least take my front shaft back out so i can continue driving it. I took a few videos of my rotating the TC output and pinion on the diff...

    Clunking only in 4wd, not ujoints

    Too early for snow!? I was surprised it didn't snow mid October. lol. I haven't had a chance to put it up on jackstands yet, our jack has been commandeered by a friend... That chain is what i'm fearing.. I may give this a try here in a few, just getting back home. I assume it's a unhook...

    Clunking only in 4wd, not ujoints

    Went out and played with it a little bit. You can feel the clunk in the transmission shifter, but not in the TC shifter... which i thought was odd. I had my brother drive up and down the block while i scurried along the ground, nothing looked like it was binding, or shifting out of normal...

    Clunking only in 4wd, not ujoints

    I had some issues with loud clunking that was really bad in 4wd few months ago, pulled the front shaft thinking it was u-joints in that, turned out to be passenger side axle u-joint. Replaced that and have been riding with no front shaft for about a month with no issues. Heard snow was coming...

    I am just striking out here! Lol When I get done with school for the evening I was going to try a c clamp, see if that does it. Does everyone else's just drop right in?

    Steering wheel installation- Compressing spring for lock ring

    Recently had to swap my column out for one from Upullit, and I am in the process of putting a new tumbler in. Got it all installed, tumbler in and working, but can't for the life of me get the steering wheel back together. The issue I'm having is getting the stiff spring compressed enough to...

    Steering Wheel Key Lock Fix, not the ignition tumbler

    1992 XJ, manual, 4.0l I am having issues with my steering wheel locking mechanism, and don't know the appropriate fix. Years ago my brother forced the steering wheel lock and broke it, since then I've had problems on and off but it has gotten severe enough that I need to fix it. Generally I...

    Fuel economy

    '92 4.0l 5 spd on 31" all terrains, 3" of lift with stock 3.07 gears. Mostly highway i get about 17.5, if the average air temp is 80* for the week or so, I'll get close to 18.5-19mpg. In the winter it drops down to about 15-17mpg regardless of road mix.
