I'm pretty sure there was something going on with the synchros, but I think possibly also hydraulics. We pulled out the gears this weekend, and when we drained the fluid, there was quite a bit of ground synchro material in the fluid. Unfortunately, we didn't pay close enough attention to the...

I've been using what the owner's manual calls for - 75w-90 gear lube. Could you recommend something else that may be better? I've seen on some posts where some people have been using a couple of other brands, but hadn't really paid much attention to what they were because I wasn't having any...

OK, I'm back! Over the weekend we finally got the tranny out. Clutch looks fine. We put the shifter in the tranny and went through all gears, all seems nice & smooth inside the tranny. All gears engage & disengage, and shifter feels smooth in neutral. Input & output shafts both move like...

5-90: Exactly, at least that's what it acts like. Somehow a gear's not completely disengaging. I just talked to a mechanic who just happened to walk into my shop a few minutes ago, and he also suggested the air-in-hydraulic-line scenario, but he also said it could be meshed synchros or something...

Matthew: That was another possibility we had just today considered, and hopefully between jobs and sleep will know for sure in a day or so. Believe me, I prefer it to be a clutch problem, but I have a feeling it's not, or only partially. 5-90: I do have an external slave. When we installed the...

Unusual AX-15 problem Newbie here! I know it's not an XJ, but I have a 94 YJ with an AX-15 5 spd tranny. I have posted on another Jeep forum, but am hoping for some help from the experts here, as well! I recently installed a new Luk clutch (about a month ago), which has been working fine so...
