Gear selection? 4.0TJ
« on: July 17, 2009, 03:49:41 PM »

Hi,

I have an '01 TJ (67K that has about 30K of that on a centreforce-II clutch) that every now and again, ie just now, doesn't seem to want me to put it in gear easily.
Mainly 1st but it happens on the others.
I thought it was just when i didn't release the clutch but I've noticed that it isn't.


Its as if i hit a 'wall', when it does you can feel the jeep move a bit. Sometimes trying to select another gear helps sometimes is does not.

The carpet/mat is all the way back, the clutch fluid is topped up.
It does it when the engine is cold or hot.
I ran the jeep all day the other week and it didn't do it but went out today and it started to do it. ( it did absolutely chuck it down but trying not to believe cos it rained that's the problem)

I have only just got the jeep back where it was with someone carrying out some work- he couldn't seem to get the jeep to do it at all as this was one of the reasons he had it.

I know its there but typically everytime people go to look at it there isn't a problem. I'm pretty loathed to take it to a stealership.

Has anyone else seen something similar or can they recommend a decent mechanic/garage( that knows what they are doing) ?

regards

Paul

I believe your hydraulics are on the way out - best to purchase the complete one rather than attempt to reseal/repair.

Are they/it easy to change or is it best to pay someone to do it?
do you mean the Master And slave cylinders?

Yes - you can buy the complete unit that does not require bleeding.

IOM seems to have nailed the issue...

Priorslee Motor Spares in Telford can source entire cylinder units cheaper that Lighthouse as welll...
