88whitemanche Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 Hey guys Well I've been daily driving the truck now for the past 2 weeks and besides a suspension clunk I've been getting a weird impact to the truck.lets say if I were to brake 2to 3 seconds ill feel like I've been hit by someone in the back but nothing...I know my brakes are good but it wouldn't feel like if someone has hit me I am really thinking that it might be my motor mounts that's probably moving the engine forward causing it have such an impact braking. Motor mounts are toast Any input would help I'm soooo stumped about this and this is my dd please help
ftpiercecracker1 Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 Sounds like you have answered your own question. :thumbsup: Engine/transmission/tcase, thats alot of weight to be shifting around, even if its only a little.
88whitemanche Posted April 13, 2013 Author Posted April 13, 2013 True thanks I'm going to order brown dog motor mounts tomorrow and install them when time comes
Comanche County Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 Get underneath the MJ and check all the brake lines.!!!!
ftpiercecracker1 Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 I'm going to order brown dog motor mounts tomorrow . . . atta boy. :cheers:
88whitemanche Posted April 13, 2013 Author Posted April 13, 2013 Ill go and double check everything but the motor mounts are one thing that worry me the most
88whitemanche Posted April 14, 2013 Author Posted April 14, 2013 So I ordered my brown dog motor mounts and ended up finding out that's its not. that although its great to get some high quality stuff but found out its my clutch messing up....I noticed that when the truck warms up and I'm getting to a stop. I put it into neutral and grinds and slams I'm guessing its the clutch plate to either the transmission or flex plate. Sorry if it sounds confusing I'm still half asleep.
88whitemanche Posted May 31, 2013 Author Posted May 31, 2013 So the problem has gotten worse...although I haven't changed my motor mounts....it grinds in gear...lately I've been driving street and highway. It only happens now when I'm in gear...shifting into gear has no grinds no struggle to put into gear.... While in gear something's grinds like when your cable goes out and that shhhhh noise appears. That's how the grinding noise sounds...yesterday I was able to replace my transmission fluid with 10w-30 synthetic oil and on the drain plus there was a thick layer of metal shavings...I drove it last night with no problems and this morning with no problems it starting grinding today driving city but in gear(in any gear actually) ...could this be the result of my ax5 going out? Please help its my daily driver and I'd hate to be stranded by yhis
88whitemanche Posted May 31, 2013 Author Posted May 31, 2013 I have not dropped my transmission yet to check the fly wheel....my mechanic took my fly wheel to be machined and changed clutch,slave cylinder,master cylinder, and everything else...
88whitemanche Posted May 31, 2013 Author Posted May 31, 2013 Another update...I changed my transfer case fluid and no metal shavings anywhere to be found and the fluid looked brand new.... Anyone else has input? Or any experiences?
88whitemanche Posted June 1, 2013 Author Posted June 1, 2013 How do I check those eagle? Do I have to drop the transmission to check the bearings?
86FUBAR Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 Many years ago my Comanche felt like it was getting rear ended every once and awhile , this went on for months and months and I kept thing it was a motor mount or Trans mount broken but the motor mounts were fine and Trans mount was only a little suspicious . I checked everything until one day I was driving home ( the day I graduated high school no less ) and my truck ground to a halt as the spider gears finally gave up the ghost . Might be worth a look .
88whitemanche Posted June 3, 2013 Author Posted June 3, 2013 Well guys I think I have solved the problem...I was reading into another forum because of google and someone talked about adjusting the transfer case linkage. So I thought I'd give it a try... Talk about being over a half inch off in the linkage. Since sat night of fixing the linkage it hasn't grind at all or sound like a bag of rocks. I've done everything I can to see if it would grind and no problems "by far" thanks for some of the input guys....
ftpiercecracker1 Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Good to hear you got it fixed :thumbsup: , here's hopin it stays that way :crossfingers:. And thanks for getting back with the report, I hate when someone has a serious, diffcult, or unusual problem and they just drop off the face of the earth once that get it fixed without bothering to fill the rest of us in. :fs1:
88whitemanche Posted June 4, 2013 Author Posted June 4, 2013 I totally understand there's some subjects I would want to learn for future reference and never return. Lol but no problem anyway to learn from others or your own mistakes. always help. That's the benefits of working in a jeep
