Re: 94 Wrangler grinds shifting into 4th, HELP! Please
Can you do it in your garage? Yes, sorta, maybe, well, hmmmm, guess I
would not reccomend it. You need the factory service manual, not Hayes or Chilton. There are enough shims, detent balls, spring clips, and other nasty little parts to make it a bit iffy for a novice. And an update on the 5 second spin down test: 5 seconds is the target, 10 seconds or less is certainly in the reasonable range.

Hey Roy,
When you say Synchros, are you talking about the synchro rings that come in a rebuild kit? Sorry I'm just unfamiliar with the terminology. As for doing it myself in my gerage, I have ordered a repair manual that comes on CD and I repair automated equipment for a living, with that said are there any special tools or "wish I would have known that" issues I would need to know? I am a cheepskate and if I can do it myself to save $$$$ then I can't go without trying. Thanks again for the help |

Nope, no one makes a puny 9" clutch disk to fit the NV3550 nor AX15:
