    Sudden Heavy Clutch

    Hey guys, need some help. The clutch on my TJ has always been quite light. I changed my TJ AX15 gearbox oil and within two days the clutch is very heavy and hard to press. Is this a coincidence and it’s something else at fault or could it be related? Swapped with 75w-85 gl4 full synth

    Squeaky rattling noise when I let off the clutch in 1st gear

    About half the times I start moving from a stop light or stop sign I hear a loud squeak/rattle that sounds like something is shaking. It happens in 1st gear when I let off the clutch at around 5-10 mph. It only lasts for a second or two but it’s very loud—almost a screeching noise. I am almost...

    Throwout Bearing question

    My boss has a 2004 X with the 5 speed manual. There is a very (VERY) slight noise with the engine running and trans in neutral and clutch released. In my infinite wisdom, I suggested to him to not be concerned with it but that I would check to see if the throwout bearing was greasable. So, here...

    adjusting clutch pedal tension

    So I've been driving my 97 Jeep TJ for 4 years now and I've developed a problem from pushing on the clutch. I get a pain in the ball of my foot right where the small clutch pedal makes contact. The pedal pushes with a lot of tension (doesn't seem excessive - probably normal) and I wonder if...
