poor shifting
Hey all, when my 97 jeep tj (5spd manual) is cold, it's hard to shift
from 1st to 2nd and vice versa. Once it's warmed up a bit, it shifts alot easier. Any ideas? Thanks! |
Re: poor shifting
I had rough shifting on my AX-15 trans. Switched from API GL-5 oil to
GM Synchromesh. Significant improvement, especially when cold. Also available as Pennzoil Synchromesh: same as the GM stuff but cheaper: http://www.pennzoil.com/products/gea...cro_fluid.html The AX-15 has sintered brass synchros that don't tolerate sulfur in regular GL-5 90 weight oil. Better to use API GL-3 rated lubes like Synchromesh or Red Line MTL.

Re: poor shifting
Low gear oil would be my first guess and water inside the second.
The TJ tranny has no high water vent so they easily can get filled with water if you go too deep.

Hi Jeff,
Seeing the Poster's problem was with just two gears, the gears most effected by not fully disengaging the clutch, I agree with you, he needs syncros. Now have you learned to match gears?

Re: poor shifting
There is the trouble, you don't 'have' a vent line. Jeep decided to
protect every other part of the vehicle except the transmission. I pulled the stooopid button vent out of mine and tapped in a piece of steel gas line to make a nipple for the vent line. I used transmission hose and ran it up by the battery then inverted the top in a cane handle loop. to make an air lock. Pointed the end down.

You can demonstrate this in the house: Fill the sink with water Hold a cup with the opening facing down Push the cup into the sink Now, how much water is in the cup? If you simply point the hose up, you have merely increased the necessary water level before you end up in the exact same situation. However, by pointing the opening down you create a situation where the air in the hose will prevent water from entering even if the water is well over the top of the hose. -D > "Mike Romain" <romainm@sympatico.ca> wrote in message > news:4284AD87.8A720D4C@sympatico.ca... >> There is the trouble, you don't 'have' a vent line.

For open-source sofware there isn't a phone number to call, but you get the solution within a day. www: http://dman13.dyndns.org/~dman/ jabber: dman@dman13.dyndns.org |
