Heya guys!
I have a 95 XJ with an AX15 & stock 3.08's.
Over the past few months, my tranny has been consistently grinding between 3rd & 4th gear. I have tried double pumping the clutch, changing the fluid out(Penzoil synchromesh), checking & topping off the clutch cylinder fluid. There were signs of copper flakes in the fluid when I changed it which tells me its gotta be synchro... Problem is, I've never changed out synchros in a tranny before & have NO idea what I'd be getting into.. That, & I also have no idea how you can guage how worn your clutch is on a hydraulic system. Is it possible my clutch plate is just wearing out? The Jeep does jerk foreward slightly when I put it in first, & grinds in reverse if I don't wait a moment with the clutch engaged.. ANY THOUGHTS OR ADVICE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!
