[@michaelharless6278]

If your fill plug won’t come out you can fill trans from top of shifter.

[@mikelazcano1310]

[@kylelefeave3334]

[@lucasbethune8430]

My next purchase for my Jeep….but I also need to know where you got that hoodie! 😂I need that so my Jeep works better!

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

Nice, it was a limited run sweatshirt from nine line apparel, not sure if they have it anymore

[@ooigfgnnkhjjnc]

Baby seat in the back? Have you ever seen a wrangler in a rear end collision? I took my back seat out. Just a heads up man.

[@SUPERSTUD6000]

i had a 97 xj and i switched 75w90 and it shifted flawlessly.

[@xjbeater8638]

Same!

[@DrHavok1]

Man we gotta get you guys out there and get more subers

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

We agree. We are having fun doing the channel either way. Thanks for your support.

[@xjbeater8638]

If your fill plug dont come out just fill it from the shifter.

[@ujayet]

This was 3 years ago... would you still recommend sincromesh or you find something else?..thanks!

[@vigilantemotors]

Hey Quantum, I know I am not the owner of this channel but I saw your comment and albeit old its a great question. My first question is do you have an auto or manual trans?

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

I no longer have a manual. I have a whole build of my new auto, but yes the synchromesh worked awesome for years and was in the transmission when I sold it.

[@vigilantemotors]

@@MuddyBeards4X4 You have a good channel on here. Great reviews and just some good overall vids!!!

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

Thanks👊🏻

[@JudegBredd]

Does anyone know where the tv cable goes on this transmission? I can’t find it on Google and I need to replace mine.

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

Manual transmissions do not have tv cables…

[@JudegBredd]

@@MuddyBeards4X4 thank you. I didn’t know. Found out after a lot of looking and calling a transmission shop.

[@rewasbhujel4473]

Should I change my transmission oil if my Jeep has 180,000 and I don’t know if the oil has every been changed

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

Yes, Never hurts to know for sure the conditions of the fluids in your vehicle

[@adamriale9065]

Break the top screw loose first but remove it last. It will create a vacuum and slow the draining so you don’t make such a mess

[@Roman-lp5th]

Really can't see where any bolt is located. And wht is he really doing

[@mrktna]

isnt that oil GL5 and that oil destroys syncs, found that for ax15 and ax5 use GL4 gear oil...

[@fxrsniper1]

no it's not GL-5

[@justinbucher6300]

Dude! Tell me about that child seat behind you! Where can I get one?

[@chief7839]

You mentioned it briefly... Redline MT90. No substitute.

[@kurtroth7783]

Question for ya. Did you use just 1 quart of synchromesh and the rest Trans fluid? Or did you fill the trans completely with synchromesh.

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

The whole thing with synchromesh, you don’t want to mix different types of fluids.

[@kurtroth7783]

Muddy Beards 4X4 Isn’t the synchromesh an additive tho?

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

Synchromesh is just a manual transmission fluid. It does have additives built into it though. It is the recommended fluid for the newer TJ’s NV3550, and lots of other vehicles with manual transmissions. Just not for the ax15 which is what I have in my 97 TJ, Chrysler just recommends 10w30 oil.

[@kurtroth7783]

Muddy Beards 4X4 Alright what about the AX5 trans? Still the same deal, just use the synchromesh ?

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

Kurt Roth Yes, I would.

[@victorialarson4799]

So I have a 2001 Jeep Wrangler And I’m leaking transmission fluid. I’m not a car mechanic my sister is lol… I’d like to try and change things myself. Does it sound like I need to change the gasket? Is their a gasket?! I did change my 02 sensor and it took me an hour! Only because I have short arms and couldn’t reach it! Uhhg! Short girl problems!

[@larryalexander4833]

Could be from several locations depending on type of vehicle and if auto standard trans and if 4x4?? Check pan gasket and dip stick o ring if auto ? Check front seals on either standard or auto and output seals also . Just a few places that tend to leak

[@ph7715]

Muddy Beards 4x4 good for ax5 1995 yj wrangler 4cl 5spd ????

[@robertmahar3462]

Very helpful Thank you

[@mallkrawlerz620]

Does this mean that your transmission might go out at some Point?

[@bushhog8142]

If you just got the Jeep and it’s a 1999 what would you put in transmission

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

If it a manual, You can use synchromesh, redline mt-90, or just plain old 10w30 which is what Chrysler uses.

[@SUPERSTUD6000]

i used 75w90

[@jaredmosebar7880]

I'll be doing this this weekend. I'm having the same issues

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

Hopefully it helps, let me know how it goes. Thanks for watching!

[@erickschaefer5886]

What size socket and Allen did you use?

[@O_GDUX_O]

I wanna say it was a 14m

[@fxrsniper1]

@@O_GDUX_O 24mm

[@excav8310]

How many miles do you have on your rig?

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

It has about 98k on the odometer, but there is no original drivetrain, I believe the guy I bought it from 9 years ago said he blew pretty much everything up and put Cherokee stuff in it, lol. So transmission miles.. unknown. Sorry not helpful..

[@boknows8936]

What tool did you use to remove fill bolt? Newbie to rhis stuff, location of fill bolt on 2002? Did you use a jack or just slide under? Thnx for video, think i might be leaking, wanna top off..

[@ReihingTom]

Bo Knows it’s a 17mm hex but a good cheat to make a tool is use a bolt head that fits in the hole and lock two nuts together on the end. BOOM

[@ninja63639]

What socket sizes does it take
