Not sure if its just me...but when i change gears from 1 to 2..i hear it change..like medal hitting medal.. And for some reason i can never do it smooth!! -_- i press the gas to much or i let go of the clutch to fast...lol but any how.any of u guys hear the same noise?

 

I have found the six speed to be a little hard to get used to. With your issue what I do is make the shift quicker and it seems to smooth it out.

 

mine got a bit smoother after the first fluid change

 

what do you mean? oil change? or like the whole deal..like oil/transmission/diff..

 

Changing the gear oil in the manual transmission....went with Pennzoil synchromesh

 

I was just reading the owners manual regarding the six speed manual transmission as I was thinking of changing the fluid. The manual states that it needs only to be checked periodically to top off if needed and that the fluid is intended to be good for the life of the vehicle. That doesn't seem right to me though. Thoughts?

 

Is there actually a way to drain the tranny? I thought there was only a service port to top it up. I've never really looked though.

I'm interested in the idea of changing the fluid as my 2008 JKU has a somewhat rough tranny.

 

Not sure. …............

 

Here is a link to the write up on changing the manual transmission fluid....
