hey guys, so i have another question on my new cherokee. my transmission seems to slip, bump or clunk repeatedly at times in first and second when it gets to the higher RPM's. i recently changed out the fluid, and i put in a little lucas oil stop slip. to help with this but it didnt. its only in first sometimes, but i happens all the time in second. Is this something i should worry about? or is it just a quirk that my Cherokee has?

i also have a transfer case leak that i added some lucas oil transmission fix to to help with the leak, could the clunk be from the transfer case?

edit: its a 95 with a manual transmission.

How old is the clutch? And Lucas trans fix does NOT GO IN A 5 SPEED

the clutch is newer, i didnt do the job but he guy i purchased the jeep from two weeks ago said he recently replaced it.

****, i already put some trans fix in my transmission, how do i flush that out? maybe thats why its clunking........ is trans fix ok to be in my transfer case?

I can't see why it could hurt the tcase, but in the tranny itself it could hurt. You should be running an api gl 4 gear oil in the tranny, I'm not sure what's in the trans fix but I do know a) it's thick as mud, deffinately not a good thing and b) could have additives that can hurt the synchros.

well crap..... i gotta get that out of there then and see if maybe thats what is making it worse. any suggestion on how to flush it out?

Just drain and refill, the drain is on passenger side, fill on drivers side, near the mid plate
