Ditto. Although it's a combination of solenoid and ratchet, now.
Whatever they call it.

My BA10 had the same noises. They got progressively louder until I pulled
it to swap in an AX15. The thrust bearings on the input shaft had given
up and the noise was the input gear grinding on the slinger washer.
Needed the input shaft for a clutch alignment tool, didn't bother
re-assembling the rest before trashing it. I'm no fan of the puny French
5-spd.

Re: Loud grinding on start-up
 

That sounds like it. Guess I'll start looking for an AX-15. I've
wanted one ever since day 2 of owning my YJ when I found out my
transmission was made by the French.

And since the general consensus is it's not my pilot bearing, I guess I
ASS-UMED right.

Thanks guys.

Re: Loud grinding on start-up
 

Why are you looking for trans problems? I've re-read your post and
nothing in it suggest the transmission is making a noise... what happens
when you start it out of gear without the clutch depressed? If it has
clutch start then disable it.

I would be looking at the starter, and the fan clutch and work my way in
from there.
