I test drove my buddy's 99 XJ today its a 5 speed, drives like new...when its in 2 wheel drive. When you put it in 4H its a little harder to shift in the sense that you need to shift at a lower rpm, but when you turn it like say a u-turn at low speed it jerks a lot....when your driving straight or you do a slight turn like say a lane switch its no prob. But like I said a hard turn at low speed like a full u-turn it jerks a lot and it's hard to do. Is that normal? Also in 4L the rev's to shift at are extremely low and same issue with doing a big turn at a low speed. I don't know if this is manual specific or what. Anyone with a 4x4 5spd XJ please help me with this. The guy did a transfer case drop and has a 3" lift, 30" tires, and a bunch of other suspension parts on it....over all trucks in great shape though, and in 2wd it drives flawlessly and that's considering I haven't driven manual in years! But it's like riding a bike you never forget!
