  1. YJ Technical Discussion
    Hey guys! First post here. I’be been having some trouble diagnosing the sound my 1995 2.5L I4 Jeep YJ (manual) is making. When I’m driving in 3rd-4th and I let off the throttle it makes a chugging/grinding/knocking sound. It goes away when I go back on the throttle. Has anyone had the same issue...

    14 JK 2door, stock brakes, Strange grinding noise coming from drivers rear at low speeds, pulled the rotor and I think it’s parking brake shoes grinding on the rotor intermittently- there’s a lot of slop on the shoes, I can move them side to side a good amount. Can’t adjust the brake in any way...

    I have a 2011 JK. I have owned it for 6 years and every year when the temp drops under 50 degrees, my starter makes a horrible grinding sound. It sounds like the Bendix gear isn't completely engaging with the flywheel. It will grind and then start fine. It starts great the rest of the day. I...

    MY 2010 JK with 99k miles has just started a two second steel grinding metal sound upon start up in colder weather. It gets worse as the temp drops and definitely sounds like oil is having trouble getting into the engine. after startup, it runs fine. It never happens in warmer weather, but as...

    Hello everyone - I bought my 2017 JKU in June 2017. All seems fine except within a few days of driving it, I noticed this faint grind noise that happens from second gear through fourth gear of my 6-speed manual transmission. The gears are engaged. The car runs. It's just, that sound is...

    Hi Everyone, New to wranglerforum.com. My jeep is 2001 Wrangler Sport (4.0) with 66,000 miles. About two weeks ago I rebuilt my drum brakes (drums, shoes, new springs...). It is the first time I have worked on drum brakes so there is always the possibility that I didn't do something correct...
  8. TJ Technical Discussion
    So I'm looking at a 1997 TJ with 4.0 and automatic transmission. The Jeep has a drive train issue but I'm thinking that if I can narrow the issue down I may buy it for cheap with the hopes of making it a project and learning to wrench a bit better. The problem is that the transmission grinds and...

    I accidentally tried to shift into 4wd low while in reverse instead of neutral. I though I was in neutral, but it was really in reverse. I tried to shift it multiple times before I realized it was in reverse. Do you think I did any major damage?
  10. TJ Technical Discussion
    So i've searched for the past few months and have not found a clear diagnosis to my symptoms. I have a 2003 Wrangler X with a NV3550 transmission. 1. Jeep grinds going into first sometimes after warmed up. When rolling at even 1mph, the grind is definite and kicks back in my hand. 2...

    Intermittently, when I try to shift into any gear I hear a terrible grinding noise. When this happens, the brake light is on and the air bag light is on. If these are not on, it doesn't happen. Also, the radio recently just quit ... don't know if that is related. Happened the other day...

    Hey, So third gear grinds but sometimes pops out. Its only third and it happens at very random times. Sometimes under no load, sometimes under load. Usually in the lower rpms 1k - 3k. I went to the dealership and they said they couldn't find anything wrong with it. Then I decided to change the...

    Hoping for some insight here. Last week I got a wheel alignment and ever since then, there is a horrific grinding sound every time I make a hard left turn (even worse if I’m in reverse). It comes from the passenger side and I can even feel it in the steering wheel. Some things to know: 2...

    I'v got a 97' TJ 2.5L MT , and Ive driven it daily for the past 2 years. Just recently the rear diff (DANA35) started making this weird grinding sound but not like gears grinding more like something scraping inconsistently. I put her on the lift and ran her in 1st gear while I was standing under...

    Hey guys... If I have my foot on the brake and happen to hit an incline like the entrance to a driveway, I get a very weird feeling through the brake pedal... kind of like something is grinding/rubbing against something. Happens especially when turning left (or at least, I make more left turns...

    All, My first post, so hopefully I don't screw this up. I just became a second time Wrangler owner and first TJ owner (95 Sahara formerly that was totaled the month I made the last payment). New vehicle is a 2000 Sport (4.0) w/manual transmission, and has 95k miles. Car shifts great and the...

    Like the title says.. When I press the clutch it pushes the flywheel too far back which ends up grinding the starter.. I recently bought this Wrangler, it's a 4.0l 5 speed.. Previous owner says its a new engine, also the clutch was replaced a couple months ago.. I bought a new starter and tried...

    I just bought my 04 TJ about 3 weeks ago. It snowed pretty good here again and 4 high worked fine the first time I took it out on snow but tonight when I put it in 4 high, I would hear a pop after about 30 seconds to a minute a driving in 4 high. Then when I would try to go from 1st gear after...
  20. TJ Technical Discussion
    I've seen a ton of posts about manuals grinding when shifting between gears, but I get the grinding after its in gear. I flushed the transmission fluid, which apperently has never been done till now at 160K miles, but no real change. 4th is the only gear that runs smoothly. R,1-3 and 5 grind...
