just recently picked up a 97 all stock with 4.0 ax15 @230K. ive done a search and read up on a bunch of stuff but would still like to post my noise situtation cause im not really sure
first off, theres a slight knocking sound which seems to be coming from the tranny when its idling in neutral. makes it sound like a diesel. could this be caused by something like loose flexplate bolts like on an AW4?
theres also a 'shhhushing' sound which starts to be noticable above 15mph and all the way through highway speeds. it is quite loud through all the gears and gets louder when the clutch is pushed in or when its coasting in neutral.
to start im going to change out the tranny fluid (mt90 if i can find it locally, or mobil 1 10w30) any advice on the noises for a ax15 noob?
all gears shift smooth apart from the reverse syncros (definately have to go from 1st or 2nd to R)
