    Bad input shaft bearing? Bad transmission?

    Greetings, I’ve got a 98 Jeep TJ 5spd (no lift kits, very standard jeep but good-looking) with about 137k on the dash that has a loud whirring/metallic noise when the clutch is engaged in neutral. It all began about 2 months ago when my jeep popped out of first gear. I thought it was a fluke...

    42RLE problems and P1776 code

    I'm currently having a problem with my transmission shuddering when entering overdrive, and it sometimes goes into limp mode when overdrive is off. It shifts great between 1st and 2nd gear but always shudders as it's going into overdrive. Could this be multiple problems or just one?
