    Yup always something to improve, I have noticed that when you build a vehicle like this from scratch it takes a lot to work all the bugs out, for instance: I improved my flex in the front end and now the front axle pumpkin can rub on the oil pan if I let it, time for bumpstops!

    I know what you mean. The stuff I build works, but I always end up doing it again and maybe a third time before I am happy with it

    Took my old screen out

    Found this inside of it

    Did a little rewiring and testing

    Then reinstalled it, much more visible and no more glare from the glass that it was behind.

    Ok so I need some help diagnosing the noise mort is making, I thought it was the release bearing but after changing it out he still make said noise.

    So with the engine running, clutch in, the is a rhythmic rattle, sound like from the bell housing.
    Also when reversing slowly sometimes it sounds like a lot of rattling from the tranny area, hard to pin down where from cause mort is not exactly the quietest jeep.
    Also today at a stop light clutch out in Neutral, it sounded like something spinning on a shaft that was not really connected to the shaft, that kind of spinning rattling vibration of something going terribly wrong.

    Me thinks maybe tranny as the one that is in mort I don't really know the history of.

    What do you guys think???

    You might be on the right track there on the tranny if it makes the noise in neutral.

    As far as I know the 6 speed is not an AX15. It is a different tranny found in the JKs

    Well a little update, just ran out for a Rutherford dip from this great little country kitchen down the street, and was able to get mort to make the sound consistently.

    With the clutch in, and rev it a little it makes this noise, kinda like the starter motor gear is still engaged but not hooked to the starter, now with the clutch in, the tranny should not be turning at all, but can't figure out what's making to noise??? It's defiantly in the drive line as you can feel it through the stick.

    Confused!!!

    Dana, even when the clutch is in, there is enough friction to turn the gears in neutral. Does it do it with the clutch out?

    No noise goes away. Dammit sounding more like a new tranny all the time.
