How did you get home after it got stuck in 5th? Did you have any problems shifting in or out of 1st-4th? 5th gear is know to have issues of it's own with retainer clips coming off but I don't know the symptoms. Helpful hint: The new slave will come with two plastic retainer clips on the...

Is that an electrical connection or fluid or air?

Looks great! I'm glad it worked out for you. Now I think I'll follow your lead and get a new Bosch pump and MTS sending unit. Mine still look original and float and sending coil are very worn. Did you cut a hole in the back floor for easy access to the pump? I'm still undecided on that mod.

Fluids have also greatly improved over the years since our owner manuals were written and most new Fluids will last over 50,000 miles in trucks with manual transmissions.

About 10 years ago I called Royal Purple about the GL 4/5 debate and they reassured me their proprietary formula will work. Much of what you read in comparison test comes from the competition. Also, most of any chemical reactions with soft metals occurs at temps approaching 500+ degrees...

I missed that part about the redline fluid. IF you transmission is level it should take about 3.3 quarts. There's a bolt hole the fluid will come out when it's full. If your YJ has a lift kit or transmission drop kit that level will be close but I don't what to say about performance or fluid...

Also check the transmission fluid level. It may be low or never changed at all. The synchros are made of a sacrificial metal that wears out long before the gears do and 2nd gear is often the first on to wear out. In several different vehicles, I've had to start the engine while in first...

Reverse always crunches since there's no synchro for it. I always go into 2nd to stop any rotation then quickly into reverse. That usually does the trick. Try any gear other than 5th because there's a lock out which prevents you from going from 5th into reverse by mistake when driving.

I wouldn't drive it with that rust. Patch kits are available, do you have a welder? If you're paying someone else for all the repairs I'd recommend finding a better YJ that needs less work.

I'm guessing you'll need to unplug the interior courtesy light so it doesn't stay on all the time?

Those are female spade connectors. You can find almost all answers in the factory service manuals find in the resources section in this forum. I think the 94 year will work for the 92. https://wrangleryjforum.com/forums/yj-resources.121/

When removing the U-joint did any of the cups fall off and possibly lose some of the roller needle bearings? It's also easy for then to fall flat inside the end of the cap.

Check the ohms across the connector on the injector. I think it should read about 1.5 ohms. If you get zero (open circuit) then the internal coil is bad.

I forgot about that. That's what I was originally going to do but when I got the pan removed I found I didn't have enough steel to attach some of them. Two where really badly rusted and the others were mostly ok. I had to cut out all the rust.
