  1. Hi All, I installed a clutch kit, new master cylinder and new hydraulic lines a few weeks ago in my 1990 Jeep Comanche 2.5L. The clutch had frozen on me (all fluid drained out of a busted slave) while highway driving. I had to force it into a couple gears to get home (drove in third a lot of the way). That was before I knew what the problem was. With help from this forum and elsewhere, I figured out it was the slave and made the installs listed above. All fixed. Mostly. So now the transition between first and second, and to a lesser degree second to third, are a little rough. Already bled the clutch, and it seems to be disengaging fully. The symptoms are worse in cold weather (FL, so 60's is cold.) And they alleviate a lot once the truck is warmed up. Down shifting is considerably more rough. It's not terrible now, just to the point where I can feel some very soft grinding sometimes -- not audible yet. Very drivable, but will need to get fixed sometime. So anyway I think the transmission is either naturally beginning to fail, or my episode driving with a failing clutch broke it or took it over the edge. From what I can find online, I'm thinking maybe the synchros or whatever they're called are failing. So enough backstory -- the question is does anyone have experience with transmission rebuild kits? And AX5 rebuilds in specific? Could this fix the problem? How long does it take? After just doing the clutch kit, I feel like I can pull / replace the transmission pretty easily, but have no idea what to expect from the rebuild itself. Any experience or tips would be really appreciated. Thanks much,
