I will NEVER make this mistake again :) Thanks for the response, that all makes sense to me..... if it wasn't so dark out right now I'd go check this out right now!

I just joined this forum a few hours back.... spent the last hour reading this entire thread.... :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: That is one beautiful build bud! Thats a lot of hardwork, congrats to you and that sexy beast of yours! I know you'll be enjoying her for a long time to come, well deserved!!

I had a similar thing happen with a car I used to have.... It would only stay in 3rd and 4th! It's most likely NOT you're transmission.... in my case it was a cracked clip in the actual shifter assembly, so it wouldn't hold the shifter to any sides i.e. 1st/2nd and 5th. I'm new to the MJ scene but just thought I'd pitch my 2 cents to maybe help ease ur mind :popcorn: Fingers crossed for ya!

Hey everyone! Just joined the MJ scene a couple months ago! I saw this '91 V6 4.0 on craigslist and couldn't resist, I was in love after the first go-see :D I knew that it needed a new starter, so I searched online, found this place, did the quick swap and install and she was running like a champ for a couple months..... fast forward to now though.... First off, went to go start her today and we've had heavy terrible rain lately, she cranks but won't turn over. To go along with it I get a really loud rattling/whirling sound. I'm guessing its a wiring issue since I never had any issues starting her after the new starter went in. Are there a few things I can check? If so, how? I'm limited with tools (I recently moved to a very rural area, solid 2 hour drive to any real city) and knowledge but I'm eager to learn. I want to keep this baby for as long as possible, I'm fairly handy in general, just not specific to the Jeep line. Second, the bigger issue lately for sure, I've always noticed the clutch definitely feels soft so I asked the previous owner and he said he replaced the clutch a couple years back! I trust him, somewhat lol Anyways, a couple weeks ago while driving I noticed it a little hard to put into some gears, mostly 1st after being at a stoplight/stop sign. A few days after that I was at a stoplight and completely unable to put her into ANY gear, had to leave her in neutral and push her to the side of the road. After pumping the clutch several times I was able to get her going again, drove her home and parked her for a while. So now she basically sits around. When she's off I can pass her into any gear, but once on its basically impossible to change to any gears. Also, I have a bit of an issue with grinding when going into reverse. So I'm thinking/hoping it's either the Master or Slave cylinders.... I already tried topping up the fluid, it was to the top already. I'm guessing I should bleed the fluid first and see if maybe there is some gunk in there clogging it up? How do I go about doing that? If nothing good comes of the bleeding what would be my next step? How do I know if its the Master or the Slave being the problem or if its the clutch itself? Any kind of advice or pics or links would just be really really helpful.... she's my only vehicle at the moment and it sure be nice to not have to bike anywhere this winter lol I've done a lot of searching on the clutch issue and have been sifting through countless posts on the forum, you guys all seem to be pretty top notch people, and very enthusiastic about the MJ, so I know over the years I'm gonna love it here. I hope tho this post isn't too 'repetitive' and that I don't start off on the wrong foot by creating such a 'similar' post (some car clubs Ive been in before have been pretty anal about this sorta stuff )hehehe Thanks for checking this out and I look forward to any help or advice! Cheers :cheers:
