    I just purchased an 06 6-speed TJ and had the clutch pedal go limp on my way home. Was able to Jimmy rig it to get home and found that it just needed a $4 bushing to reattach the pedal. Was on my way to work a couple weeks later and had it happen again. This time it didn’t break the bushing...

I have a 03 Wrangler 4.0 and recently I’ve noticed that when engine breaking, primarily in 2nd gear, and slightly in 3rd gear, a metal rattling noise can be heard until the jeeps rpms catch up to speed.

    Can't shift gears

    I have a 2001 Sport, 4.0 manual transmission. Long story short it is about impossible for me to get my trans into first gear. Second is slightly less difficult, and third through fifth are not so easy either. On occasion I can get it to slide right in, but there seems to be no pattern or...
