If you got the Jeep service manual, you would be surprised at how much more
information it has than the Haynes. I am not sure that it is worth $100 to
everybody though. You would probably want it for transfer case and/or
transmission disassembly. Reading the manual, is what helped me decide,
that double clutching is not so bad for now. You should be able to put the
vehicle in 4hi, crawl underneath, and judge for yourself how much chain slop
there is.

Thanks Earle. I might get the manual. The Haynes sure doesn't go into
enough detail for me to dare to start taking gears out... I have even
found as much detail in the 4X4 Jeep catalouge I get quarterly...lol.
Thanks.

I kinda doubt you are feeling chain slip in 4x4. The only times I have
heard of that happening was seconds before a big bang happened when the
t-case exploded. I guess it is possible though....

I would be more inclined to think linkage adjustment. I also would be
checking the tranny and engine mounts for slop, that can be one cause of
linkage out of adjustment.

You might keep in mind that some of the component manuals are
available seperately. I think the AX-15 manual was something like
$12-$15 and the NP-231 manual was even less. I had to buy a couple of
these when I swapped out the old BA10/5 tranny for my '88.
