Ok so i just acquired a 1986 4wd Comanche. Its five speed 2.5 motor with the good tranny from what ive read. It has been running very well except for a few problems. I was told this was a new clutch, new this, new that. I would like to get this thing in top running condition for my DD. List of problems is as follows
I think i have a vaccum leak on my brake booster as there is a loud hissing noise behind my brake until i push down on it and it stops, same for gas pedal if its to the floor the hiss stops.
My clutch has some issues. I'm not leaking any fluid what so ever anywhere, but it will not shift into gear for at least 5 min. You almost have to lovingly talk to it and pump the clutch enough then it goes in, and it will shift perfect until you shut it off and let it sit for a while. Then when first started same thing, but then shifts fine after a few miles of shifting.
Loud noise while driving sounds like maybe wheel hubs??/bearing?? loud while driving straight but louder/grindyer if turning wheel to the right or left. its not rpm related just simply while driving
also on my trans. there is a hole on the passenger side of it that is just a hole. its not threaded. should there be a plug of some sort in it?
sorry for such a long post just tryiing to figure it out.
Thanks again, I'm so glad i found this place!!
