Problems shifting gears in 92 Jeep wrangler

Aug 03, 2007 7 Replies

Hi there,



I have problems shifting gears. It starts out fine, but after a while it gets harder to shift gears, eventually I get stuck in one gear and cannot get out of it. If this happens while I am stationary not even the breaks can keep the jeep from moving forward. The drive train is making a little more noise a high speeds as well. Do I need to change the oil in the tranny, or is this something wrong with the clutch????


Any help with this will be greately appreciated. Thanks



Are you driving it in 4x4 on tarmac ?

Good point but I think I would also start by changing tranny fluid as many neglect this.

Another easy thing to check is the bell house to engine bolts, freind has had his come loose twice on his YJ.

A torque wrench prevents bolts from coming out now? I always thought it was for tightening bolts to a certain degree. Silly me, I've been using thread lock all these years with the torque wrench and all I needed was the wrench.

Man, my torque wrench sure won't fit back there. Maybe for the bottom ones.... I have also seen and heard of the bell housing coming loose.

To the OP, I would change the tranny fluid first, it could be full of water or low or event he wrong kind.
