2000TJ NV3550 not synch'd
After a loose broken piece of metal (like a roller bearing with a snapped
end) was found when draining the transmission fluid, I took the TJ in for service under extended warranty. The dealer found what was wrong and replaced about $1200 worth of parts in the transmission - at essentially no cost to me. I thought I was finally getting something for the cost of the warranty. (and they found a leaking water pump and replaced it under warranty) Even though the dealer seems to have overfilled the transmission, because there was fluid dripping from the mount, muffler, and body, it seemed to be working OK. However, after a week or so, I noticed that shifting up into 3rd feels like an improper clutch. There is what feels like a one tooth grind. Shifting up into 2nd was better, but similar. Shifting up into 4th and 5th feel normal. Down shifting all seems to be synchronized. I'm about to take it back to get things worked out, but it's a pain to get it to the dealer 30 miles away. Is there anything I can do to adjust the clutch linkage or anything else that's not inside of the transmission? -- Please cc: to Marc.L.Masnor@usace.army.mil |
Re: 2000TJ NV3550 not synch'd
I believe if it's shifting properly in through the other gears,
that kind of lets any other adjustment out, they probably save a buck and put your old sync ring back in for that gear.

Re: 2000TJ NV3550 not synch'd
Thanks Bill,
I'll ask about the sunc rings when I take it back. I really appreciate the reply. I didn't want to go through the hassle if all I had to do was adjust the clutch linkage or something so simple. I'll look at the parts list from the previous repair and see if it gives enough info to tell what was replaced. -- Marc.L.Masnor@usace.army.mil "L.W.

Re: 2000TJ NV3550 not synch'd
This sounds like he put the wrong oil in the trans. DC recommends a
no-sulphur GL3 oil for the NV3550, which is rather expensive but can be sourced through the dealer. Sulphur in gear oils is great for the gears & bearings, but causes the synchros to slip excessively, resulting in the grind you describe. My bet is he put GL5 lube in it. If that's the case, before you do anythin have it drained and refilled with the proper fluid.
