Hard Downshifting
1994 Wrangler 2.5l 4cyl, with 5spd. Don't know which 5spd.
It is terribly hard to downshift into 1st, 2nd or Reverse when stopped. It'll shift just fine if slightly rolling. Upshifting is no problem. I'm definitely not a transmission mechanic. Ideas? Have it rebuilt? Synchros? Shifter fork? Clutch Slave? Thanks in advance for any ideas. Spdloader |
Re: Hard Downshifting
You have the AX-5 for a transmission.
Usually a difficulty getting into gear at a stop is the clutch is not fully releasing. Have you check it's fluid reservoir for full? If not note the smell of the fluid and take your finger and wipe the bottom of the bellhousing and under the dash for where the push rod goes through for that smell to tell you where it's leaking. If it's at the bellhousing it must come apart to replace the internal slave, the last of the sabotages done by france to the AMC designed YJ: http://www.----------.com/YJslave.jpg If not being able to shift into gear at a stop has been a problem for a while, it would have worn out the synchro rings and the transmission will have to come apart, too. -- God Bless America, Bill O|||||||O mailto:-------------------- Spdloader wrote: > > 1994 Wrangler 2.5l 4cyl, with 5spd.

Re: Hard Downshifting
Thanks Bill,
The problem started about a month ago, according to my wife, so I drove and confirmed the problem, but since I don't have any transmission experience, other than pulling and replacing, I didn't really know where to start. I appreciate the clutch and slave tip, I'll start there. I drive a '92 with 4.0 and automatic, (when the dually is parked due to high diesel costs) and have had no problems in 189,000. I prefer the auto because it frees up a hand to hold my Mt. Dew! Anyway, Thanks again. Spdloader "L.W.
