    4-Wheel Drive not working

    This is the first winter I've had a chance to check out my 4-Wheel drive in my 95 YJ 4.0L. In 4H and 4L, I was constantly getting stuck today in level packed snow. I don't think my 4WD was working at all. I couldn't see that the front wheels had spun at all during this time. This is probably...

    Transfer case leak

    Wow, thanks for all the good input on this. As I look closer at the leak (and match what's on the ground) it appears to be coming from the front TC seal. It continues to leak whether I use the 4WD or not. Its not a small drip, so I need to gear up to replace the seal(s). Based on your input...

    Transfer case leak

    Thanks, that makes sense. hopefully that's the case. I'll top things off and take a closer look. The more I think of it, I've had the Jeep about a year and the last couple of weeks was the first time I've actually used the 4WD. So, the leak (or over fill) appears to be related to use. Thanks...

    Transfer case leak

    95 YJ 4.0L manual I developed a 4 or 5 in. diameter leak (on the driveway) that appears to be coming from the transfer case. I have not had any leaks in this area before. The only thing I can think of is a couple of weeks ago I had a heavy snow commute down the canyon to work. I used 4WD...

    Improving synchro shifting problems by using different gear lube weights or additives?

    Wow, thanks again for taking the time to explain. Someone on this thread recommended Red Line MT-90 GL-4, so I think I'll go that route. What would you recommend for my Transfer Case? Thanks

    Improving synchro shifting problems by using different gear lube weights or additives?

    Sorry to bug you again on this subject. I'm still somewhat confused regarding these different recommendations. It was stated a couple of threads above that "Using the lighter weight oil in the AX15 helps the synchronizer issues". why is that? With my transmission problem, when its cold in...

    Improving synchro shifting problems by using different gear lube weights or additives?

    Wow, thanks for sharing your experiences with this issue. I think I'll try the simplest fix first and run ATF (before other recommendations) to see if that makes the difference. Do you recommend that I use Mopar ATF, or do you think it doesn't matter the ATF brand?

    Improving synchro shifting problems by using different gear lube weights or additives?

    Thanks for the info. I was actually thinking along those same line. If beading the brakes is that big of an headache that most report, then save the headache an just put a new one in. Thanks for confirming that.

    Improving synchro shifting problems by using different gear lube weights or additives?

    Oh, OK appreciate the information. I just put a new clutch in it when I installed the remanufactured engine,. I didn't replace the clutch slave cylinder, but it sounds like I should have bled the old clutch anyway. I'll give that a shot.

    Improving synchro shifting problems by using different gear lube weights or additives?

    I have synchro problems in the 95 YJ that I just purchased. It grinds mostly when shifting into 3rd and 4th. Has anyone had experience improving synchro shifting problems by using different gear lube weights or additives? I believe there is hope, because when first starting out and the...

    Could synthetic oil be causing my oil leak?

    Ya, I'd appreciate you letting me know how it goes. My leak is getting worse. The video I watched on the Jeep Solid channel made it look pretty simple. Thanks for your help.
