2000 TJ, 5spd NV3550, 4.0L i6. 195,000 miles on odo.
So how is this possible> Since I bought this TJ a year ago, it would always grind going into 2nd gear at speeds above 15mph. Below 15 it was fine. Been that way for a year. This past weekend I decided to replace the entire EVAP system, needed something to do project. So replaced the steel line to the fuel tank, the charcoal canister, the leak detection pump, solenoid and filter. Seems like the motor running really smoothly, but oddly now I don't have any grinding shifting into 2nd gear at all, not at 15mph, not at 20mph, even shifting into 2nd at 25mph. It's smooth sailing. How can this be possible? Is it just coincidence, perhaps the 100 degree temps this summer have the gearbox running smoothly or what?
