OK I know someone here must know something about trannies. My 94 XJ 5-speed (I'm thinking ax-15) is making some troubling noise. When coming to a stop or after the tranny has warmed up with the clutch pushed in and gear shift in first it makes a thumping noise. Ive noticed it when coming to a stop or when sitting at a stop sign. It also likes to grind a little when going from first to second. I'm thinking of starting with a full fluid change however I don't have a lot of faith that that's going to fix the problem. So whats everyone think? Clutch, throw-out bearing or what? Or should I look into new transmissions?
