I have a 95 Cherokee, bare bones, 5spd manual transmission,4wd, 2.5liter engine, 156,000 on the truck(should I say station wagon?
). I just bought it a couple of days ago, clean clean truck, level on the springs, no rust, little ruff when the engine steps down intialy from the fast ideal when you start it, but it pulls strong.
When I go to put it into reverse, clutch all the way to the floor, it grinds the gears almost every time. Than I thought I started noticing when I put it into first a very slight clunk from the ass end of the truck (no movement from the truck gong into reverse or first gear). Now like lets say three days later after this started happening, it stopped grinding into reverse but the slight clung from rear of the truck is still there. I believe this vehicle has a hydrolic clutch on it ( I would assume self adjusting) so anyone have any idea what this could be?
I am embarssed to say I know nothing about this vehicle, still waiting on the Chilton's manual from amazon, only drive line fluids I have checked was the rear pumpkin, mind you this truck shifts like butter into all the gears, slight spool up from the synchros in first sometimes when you shift down into but no big deal, any insight into this grinding and clunking would be great, THANKS

P.S why the hell don't they put tachs in these things, not that I need it but it sure would be nice.
