clutch or transmission trouble
Over the last 2-3 days of moderate highway driving, my manual
transmission jeep has gotten noticeably harder and harder to shift
(not wanting to go into gear, especially the lower gears.) Yesterday,
I was having to double, triple, and quadruple clutch just to get it
to go into gear.
Today I started it up and went to drive it, starting it on a level
surface. In doing so I noticed that even when the clutch is all the
way to the floor... the jeep is still pulling lightly forward in 1st
and 2nd gear, and backward in reverse!
Holy crap! It's not supposed to do that when the clutch is all the
way in!!!
I suspect I've probably got major transmission problems, but I thought
I would ask here and see if there are any relatively simple
quick-fixes I could try first, before I turn my wallet over to a
transmission shop.
This is a 25 year old jeep, but the transmission and clutch (NV4500
and Centerforce III) are allegedly new as of 10,000 miles ago.

Re: clutch or transmission trouble
Sounds like you have a bad clutch master or slave cylinder, or if you have a
manual linkage setup, an adjustment issue. Relatively inexpensive to fix.

Re: clutch or transmission trouble
You have a leak in your hydralic system. Slave, Master or both. Check your
fluid level. Top it off and see what happens.
