So I got in the Jeep this morning to go to work and I couldn't get it to go into any gear from neutral. I have a '97 with a 4.0L and AX15. I only encountered this issue when the engine was running. As soon as I turned it off I was able to go through all the gears, smooth as butter. The clutch pedal didn't have quite as much resistance as usual, but it's been about a week and a half since I last drove it so I could be imagining this.
I didn't have the time to check anything out, so I went to grab the keys to the BRZ and head to work.
My initial suspicion is that it's low on clutch fluid or there is air in the lines. Is this likely what's wrong or is something else going bad? I've also read that this can be caused by a shot/not lubricated pilot bearing.
Back story:
The last time I drove it was 7/21 and that was just to the spray wash to clean off the mess I'd made the prior day wheeling. During this drive I noticed it was tough to go into 1st and 2nd, but all the other gears were fine. While wheeling, we went through some pretty deep puddles, but nothing deep enough to get through the drain holes. I have 35" KM2's, a 3-4" suspension lift, 1-ish" body lift (not certain as this was all done by the PO). I'm not sure if this has anything to do with these issues, but figured I'd add it just in case.
