Transmission troubles
Hello again my helpful friends. My 93 Sahara 5 speed (120K miles) is
really starting to have tranny problems. Here are it's symptoms:
shifting is smooth in and out of gears until the engine and tranny
warm up. After driving a few miles and coming to a complete stop,I
find it impossible to get it into any gear from neutral position.
Basically have to either grind it into reverse or turn the engine off,
put into gear, and restart. Jeep is still driveable, but would be nice
not to have to downshift every gear and keep it in gear at stop signs.
I have had this Jeep for a year now and realized this problem was
progressively becomming worse. I did change the trans fluid last month
and used Redline MTL. Shifting has been noticablly smoother, but this
"stuck in gear" problem has been worse. Any suggestions/
recommendations? Synchro gears going bad? Any inexpensive way to
diagnose and fix?

Re: Transmission troubles
You're describing the clutch is not releasing as Gary said. First
refill it's reservoir with brake fluid and pump it up. Then see if
there's any fluid leaking at it's push rod above it's peddle, or from
the bottom of the bellhousing with that distinctive smell to determine
which you have to replace, the master or the slave:

Re: Transmission troubles
If you turn off the engine does it easily go into gear then? My 94 had a
clutch that would "hang up" and not release all the way when warmed-up.
Clutch master/slave were both fine. Solution was to remove tranny from
engine and regrease the transmission input shaft.
