2003 TJ 5 speed.
This morning I noticed my clutch grabbing very quickly upon release... practically instantly. I started to pay attention to any other changes in behavior.
This evening I ran out to the store and it was still biting quickly. Got back in and shifted into 1st. It grabbed quickly as it had all day. Went to shift into 2nd and..... nothing. No resistance at all.... pedal right to the floor. Was able to limp home and park in the driveway. Now, with the engine off, the clutch pedal won't budge at all. Rock solid and I can't start the Jeep.
Not sure if it's related but for the last week there's been a higher pitched whirring that I thought was a belt squealing, but now I'm not sure it wasn't related to this issue. Also, I put an OME 2" lift on it over the summer. Feeling some driveline vibes through acceleration and it almost feels like 1st and 2nd gears are barely grabbing sometimes... more pronounced since it's getting cold up in the northeast.
Any thoughts as to where I should start troubleshooting? I'm capable of doing the work but just don't know if there's any specialty tooling required. And I have downloaded the FSM and Parts manuals too. Thanks for any help!
