So I got the transmission replaced, and I have to say, it's nice to be able to shift through the gearbox without grinding way every single gear I touch! Now for the next issue - when I drive at any speed, the whole jeep will torque to the right when I let off the gas pedal (or hit the clutch) and twist to the left to be going straight again when I step on the gas once more (or engage the clutch). It is instantaneous rather than continuous, so it will just shift a certain amount and then maintain its new heading, not continue to pull one way. At the same time as the twisting occurs, there is a loud squeak not unlike a squeaky suspension. That noise seems to come from the front end.
It has been suggested that one of the brakes may be sticking. I felt around the rotors and drums after driving and none seems significantly hotter than the other. I will continue to monitor this, though, and see if I can determine through other means if I have any faulty brake assemblies.
Another suggestion was the 4wd setup. If the front axle was partially engaging or sticking somehow, that may cause that torque. I will drive home from the office today is 4-hi to see if that changes anything. If the ride is straight, that would point fingers to that heinous vacuum CAD box, right?
Any suggestions you guys can offer are greatly appreciated!
