I have a 1990 yj with ax5. TBI removed with a dui hei distributor and Weber 38/38. Motor only has 5k on rebuild. I have it running great and it loves to climb and no issues at altitude problem….clutch release cylinder is leaking that was put in new when the motor was rebuilt. Is there a reasonable auto swap I can do? I’m starting to have sciatic nerve issues and shifting a bunch is crazy painful, so before I drop the trans to redo the clutch/cylinder I thought I would ask as I can’t find much info on this exact subject. I don’t really care about it being a dog, I’m typically never running over 60 and use it mostly for exploring the roads around aspen. Thank you in advance!

I recently rebuilt an AX 15 to swap into my CJ with a Dana 300. I swapped it from internal to external slave and replaced all synchros, bearings, etc. Since reinstalling, it is very difficult to shift into 1st and 2nd gear when running. I can shift back into 1st when I come to complete stop and return the transmission to neutral first. I can shift from 1st to second and 3rd to second if I do a combination of double clutching and rev matching. All other gears shift well, and the transmission will shift through all gears when parked. I'm trying to decide if it's a clutch issue or if I need to pull out the transmission and take a look at the 1st/2nd gear synchros. The only reason I think it may be a clutch not engaging/disengaging fully is that the white strap that retains the pushrod on the slave has not broken loose after using it, leading me to believe that maybe the clutch isn't fully engaging.
