Tranny woes???
I posted a while back about the clutch engaging 1/2 inch off the floor. Now
I noticed something funny today...at times it's very difficult to get into first and second. You have to almost jam the damn shifter into gear. It's a 5 speed (83 CJ7) and a YJ tub..not sure if that has anything to do with it. New sycros or just an adjustment here? Thanks! Allen |

Sounds like the clutch isn't releasing properly, so the gears will sound like a cheap coffee mill. Did you ever fix the original problem such that the clutch engages a bit higher off the floor? -- My governor can kick your governor's ass |

Re: Tranny woes???
Man, adjust it!
Maybe/likely you have a dead engine or tranny mount that has shifted things so the mechanical linkage is going off on you. I would look for that hard. If the clutch is worn, it engages at the top of the pedal, not the bottom, the bottom means a shifted tub or a shifted engine or a loose lock nut on the adjuster bolt that is right there on the side of the tranny on the drivers side..... The pedal is supposed to have 1/2" of free play at the top before the linkage comes up tight. If you can't adjust it any more out so the pedal comes up and have a 1/2" of free play at the top, then your throw out bearing or the fingers on the clutch pressure plate have worn out. That happened to me a year after a new clutch. The tranny nose cone had a ding in it that grabbed the throw out bearing and held it on the pressure plate burning out all the fingers. Adjust it first, it is a really easy job, there is a big long hex bolt with a lock nut just where it goes to the tranny clutch fork.

Hi Allen,
My guess, like yours is the clutch is not disengaging, take to a mechanic, because the syncros won't last long being jammed into gear.
