92 YJ shift problem- maybe not syncros?

Hey YJ crew, I've got a 92 YJ with 50k miles. 4 cylinder, 5 speed. When I shift up to 3rd or down into 3rd, I get grinding. If I let it idle down on the up shift it is fine. This all led me to think it is the syncros but at 50k miles? I checked the fluid and it comes out of the fill hole and looks clean. The lady that sold me the jeep said the clutch had been replaced.

Lately though in the cold weather it shifts FINE until the jeep warms up? Is this a too light of fluid problem? It can't be that easy, right?

How well does SOA handle

I'm thinking about doing a soa conversion, mostly for better offroad articulation/flex and my current springs are really worn and sagging, right now it's lifted decent on 35s with a d30 and 8.8, if my measurements are correct the soa conversion should only add about 2 inches, how does soa handle on the road, I drive it mostly on the road but do go to the trail with it, I currently have no sway bars or track bars and can go 70mph down the highway comfortably, can get up to 80 lol, figure I might have to reinstall the sway bar if I do it

Leaf spring information?

Are stock jeep yj leaf springs flat? Yes or no, next question, a 1.5 in soa spring, is that saying it will lift the jeep 1.5 inches if the spring is installed in a stock spring under configuration, i know i get an additional 5.5 inches from the axle, trying to figure out how much lift I will get if I switch to soa

Frame Swap Registation

Hello all, I am new here and have a question about proper registration after doing a frame swap. I have had my YJ for close to ten years, and after a many years of plowing and multiple frame repairs, I decided to pull the plug on it and swap it to a (new to me) frame. I've been working on the swap/ restoration for nearly four years and haven't really thought about VINs until now. My title matches my tub and the two identifying plates, but not the new frame. I understand this is something that I will probably have to bite the bullet and ask the DMV, but just wanted to see how others have handled similar situations.

I appreciate all replays

Power Steering Hose Needed

Hey guys, I picked up my YJ from the mechanic earlier as I have a leak in the Power Steering and they said the leak is from this part (Circled in Blue). Does anybody know where I can get one of these from?

I’m based in the UK but US or other International markets are fine also. (Unless they’re not compatible for whatever reason ofc)

Thanks!

Just (another) oil filter question

Yo Jeep fam!

Getting ready to change the oil on my 2 Jeeps... 1993 YJ 4.0 and 1997 XJ 4.0.

I'm going with Wix filters. Just unsure on the flavor. Will both take the larger 51515 filter? And, do yall go with the xp variety, or standard?

Appreciate the input!

#Jeep on! 🤘🤘

Road wonder and bump steer

I picked up a 95 yj a few weeks ago, guy said it was all over the road. I figured it just needed an alignment, could be loose steering box, and noticed the sway bar links were to short. I replaced the sway bar links, aired the tires down to 28 psi, checked the alignment which seems pretty close, tightened the steering box a little, checked all the joints, removed the drag link, kept the drop pitman arm, etc. All seems fairly decent. I know my caster/camber is off slightly in the front due to the 1 inch lift shackles on it, and it has what I assume to be a 2.5 inch lift. So far it all has the same set up as my previous 95 which had no issue going down the interstate I'm stumped as of what it could be, but i did notice the passenger front leaf is bent. I'm not sure if that's what would cause a road wonder/bump steer issue or if I'm not seeing something. I'm honestly not sure what lift is on it, guessing 2.5 rough country as everything else looks to be roughly country. Any thoughts? Ideas?

First YJ and stoked

After about 10 years of Tire Kicking and never pulling the trigger finally pulled the trigger. 95 Sahara, 136k miles and in Love. Always wanted a “survivor” and all original but think these mods aren’t too over the top. Couldn’t be more stoked!

Noise in 3 speed automatic transmission

I posted about this issue before but the noise from the transmission wasn’t really heard in the video so I’m posting again with a better video. I copied the text from the other post because I’m not sure how to add the new video to the old post. Any help is appreciated. I have a 1993 4.0 Automatic 3 speed yj. I lifted the yj 2.5in, put a new transmission mount and new skid plate spacers. I also did a transmission fluid change. The amount of fluid I took out I put back in plus a little more. After all this was done there is a noise coming from the transmission and I don’t really know why. The noise only happens when it’s put in gear, it’s the loudest in reverse, decently loud in drive and audible in neutral. In park there is no noise. At first I thought it was just low transmission fluid but with the engine hot and in neutral I checked the dip stick and it shows normal levels. What could the noise possibly be?

Help finding possible bad ground

I got no AC and No heat. Neither of the blowers turn on or react to anything.

They both stopped working at the same time so I'm guessing there's a correlation I'm missing, but since both are sperate systems and use 2 blower motors I couldn't tell you. Fuses look fine but I'm thinking maybe they share a ground? I couldn't tell you which one that's why I'm here to ask. 94 Wrangler SE 4.0

Blower motor issues!

Howdy! I got an interesting one for you all.

Spent yesterday and today hooking my heater box back up. Connected the wires for the controls, and the resistor on the heater box above the fresh air duct. Tested it yesterday and the fan worked, but only on high. I expected this as the resistor had a broken off terminal on it, but the point is it worked.

Today, I hooked the heater lines up, fired it up, and the heater blower motor did not come on at all. Fuse isn’t blown, everything is still connected. The blower motor sounded fine yesterday, and now it doesn’t come on at all. Anyone have any solutions to try?

4.2L YJ Leaking at this brake junction

Leaking pretty steadily at the plastic nut threaded into this brass fitting. I'm guessing there's probably an o-ring on that plastic fitting somewhere or maybe there's a seal on the actual brass housing? Also, what is the electrical connection for? I could Google this of course, but you guys in the community are so full of knowledge and I hear it's good to keep the brains active... 🙏

Voltmeter reading low, help finding issue?

I just replaced the alternator and the battery is less than a year old. Occasionally the meter climbs back up past the red line but then goes back down after a few. Jeep starts up find with no fails what so ever. I also dont have AC or Heater working at all so maybe this is tied to that. 1994 SE
