I have the clutch fully pushed in and I checked under the hood and there is plenty of clutch fluid. It seems to happen more when I have it reved up in 2nd around 3000 rpm. It also only happens from 2nd to 3rd, never 3rd to 2nd or going between 3rd and 4th. I had an 89 YJ that did the same thing but it was less frequent so I really didn't think much of it. Any help would be much appreciated...thanks '95 Wrangler, 4.0L, Rock-it Air Intake, tornado, Performance Distributors Ignition kit, 31's, 2.5" Pro Comp Suspension lift, Hella fogs, Light Bar Re: Grinding gears?

You can try changing the oil in the tranny, at least check the level, if it's low adding some may help. The gears are always meshed and spinning so grinding gears is a misnomer. Unfortunately, the only way to fix a bad sychro is to completely tear down the tranny, Live with it or get ready for a big hit in the wallet. If adding oil or changing it doesn't help, you could just stop using third gear. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" /> Freedom Off Road Moderated by  4x4Wire  Hop To Mitsubishi Forums ------  Mitsubishi 4x4 and SUV Tech  Mitsubishi Diesels  Mitsubishi ArchiveToyota Forums ------  Early Toyota Trucks  Toyota 4Runner, FJ Cruiser &...  T100 & Tundra Forum  Tacoma Forum  Toyota Tech ArchiveJeep Forums ------  Jeep Talk  Jeep TechIsuzu Forums ------  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Talk  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Tech  Isuzu DieselsKia Forums ------  Kia Talk  Kia Sportage & Sorento TechOff Topic Chat ------  4x4 Gallery  Off-Topic Chat  Recreational Access & Land ...  Politics4xForums ------  Outdoor Gear  General 4x4 Discussion  Tools and Fabrication  General Communications  Amateur Radio  GPS and MapsParts Bin ------  Private Party - Garage Sale  Private Party - Items wanted  Vendors, Hot Deals, Group Buys4x4Wire Back Yard ------  Suzuki Forum  AZ Crawler Crew  Cal-Nev Crew  General Ford 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Dodge 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Chevy 4x4 & SUV ForumFeedback & Testing ------  Problems, Questions, Suggestions4x4Wire Staff ------  Forum Moderators  Problem Threads Print Thread Switch to Threaded Mode 5 Excellent 4 Good 3 Average 2 Bad 1 Terrible View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts
