    Still difficult to shift

    It's me ... again. I have a '97 TJ and was experiencing some difficulty shifting (and random grinding going into 2nd & 3rd gear) that came on rather suddenly. One week just fine, next week not so much. In possibly a rushed decision, with it having 230K miles and being 27 years old (and original)...

    Hydraulic cylinder attached to steering, I don't think its hydro assist?

    Hey, everyone. I've got what's essentially a stock TJ here and it has this cylinder attached to the steering. These are pictures taken from the modded one I bought, swapping engines and lift and all due to bad frame. They both have this, and I don't think it's hydro assist, because it looks...

    Making an AX-15 easier to drive?

    Hello everyone, I am new to the forum and have a question for all the manual TJ owners out there.

    Clutch doesn't fully disengage with pedal all the way in - Solved

    Hi all, I am new to the forms but have had my jeep for about 7 years now. I bought the jeep at 96k miles and noticed that the clutch was disengaging very late in the pedal throw (bottom 25%). At 120k miles I replaced the clutch with a Luk 05-065 clutch kit and saw little improvement. Now at 145k...

    TJ 4.0 rebuild vs 5.3 LS swap vs 6.0 Coyote swap

    I have a 1997 TJ with a factory 4.0 straight 6 and a recently rebuilt ax15 transmission. Since buying it off my father I've wanted to do an LS/v8 swap on it.

    Lower first gear for AX-15 / HD input shaft

    Does anyone have experience with swapping to a 4.3 first gear for the AX-15? Does anyone know if the HD Input shaft (14 Splines) is an upgrade from, what I assume is a 10 spline shaft OEM (I don't know, just saw this on a blow up of the AX-15)? I have to pull my transmission and I'll probably...
