    AX-15 acting weird

    So I have a 2000 tj with an ax-15. I know doesn’t make sense lol. As nv3500 or 3550 can’t remember which it is that comes stock in my tj is extremely expensive to rebuild for a 1/4 ton truck transmission when it went out last year I swapped an ax-15 out of a yj into my tj. It had an unknown...

    NV3550 Grinding Noise at high speeds without load

    Hello all, I recently tore apart my NV3550 and replaced all of the synchros. I checked all of the bearings and determined that they were all good, so I did not replace them. I am confident that the transmission was assembled correctly, and everything felt smooth and solid after going back...

    NSG370 to AX15 swap

    starting this thread to document my swap instead of doing it after the fact when my memory is fuzzy. Background: my NSG370 pops out of reverse. In street use it's tolerable but it's exacerbated when backing against any resistance, such as uphill (like the 8% grade on my driveway) or if a tire...

    Clutch Disengaged Sounds Like Marbles Rolling Around

    I have a 2001 TJ 4.0, with the clutch OUT it sounds like there's marbles rolling around or rattling, when I push clutch in it goes away. And unless I use a little more "force" than I should have to, it will grind going from 1st to 2nd. My initial thought was throw out bearing, but now I'm second...

    Transmission (auto) grinding while in gear

    2002 TJ 4.0 I first noticed it at red lights. A grinding/rattling sound coming from beneath me that disappears when I go into neutral. And it's not noticeable when I'm driving, probably drowned out. I've been leaking ATF for a while but I thought it was just a bad pan seal and now it has low...

    How-to use a PID controller as a temperature gauge and alarm

    This is a look into how I use a PID controller as a temperature gauge and alarm for my transmission. Automotive temperature gauges, even expensive ones are normally pretty poor at low temperatures if they even work at all. PID controllers take a variety of high quality sensors that work over...

    Noise coming from transmission

    My LJ just started making this noise this morning coming from the transmission. When the clutch is fully released, I can hear it come from the transmission. When the clutch is pressed in, I can hear it come from the engine area. When in between, I don't hear it at all. I've got a 6 speed manual...

    Buying parts for my faulty transmission, what brands should I buy?

    I want to kick this off by saying I bought the "OMIX 19001.04 Automatic Transmission Rebuild Kit " back in 2019. I got it off of Ebay for around 180 bucks. The transmission got the parts changed and it worked perfectly. Now, about two years down the line, the transmission started slipping and...

    I've had my 03 TJ for about 70,000 miles (9 years) and am dealing with my second transmission swap. First one came after a deployment where she sat in a lot for 8 months. There would be a high pitched whirring sound that I believe went with the RPMs then eventually, shifting into 5th on the...
