Hi there,

I have problems shifting gears. It starts out fine, but after a while
it gets harder to shift gears, eventually I get stuck in one gear and
cannot get out of it. If this happens while I am stationary not even
the breaks can keep the jeep from moving forward. The drive train is
making a little more noise a high speeds as well. Do I need to change
the oil in the tranny, or is this something wrong with the clutch????

Any help with this will be greately appreciated.
Thanks

Are you driving it in 4x4 on tarmac ?

Good point but I think I would also start by changing tranny fluid as
many neglect this.

Another easy thing to check is the bell house to engine bolts, freind has
had his come loose twice on his YJ.

Lets see, there is a tool called a TORQUE WRENCH?

A torque wrench prevents bolts from coming out now?
I always thought it was for tightening bolts to a certain degree.  Silly me,
I've been using thread lock all these years with the torque wrench and all I
needed was the wrench.

Man, my torque wrench sure won't fit back there.  Maybe for the bottom
ones.... I have also seen and heard of the bell housing coming loose.

To the OP, I would change the tranny fluid first, it could be full of
water or low or event he wrong kind.

That's the problem: they don't get tightened correctly.
