When I am driving, and I release the gas and depress the clutch, the rpms's either ramp up slightly or stay where they are. And so when I move the stick to the next gear, and engage the clutch, the jeep surges forward.
Now I know my engine compartment is pretty muddy, but I'm wondering if the throttle return spring is clogged with mud. Or is it something else?
Also, my gear shifter seems a little stickier lately. Could that mean there is water in the tranny fluid? Or that there is mud gumming up the linkage?
And likely unrelated to the mud, since I have put the 33's on; at 70 kph I get a pretty good vibration coming thru the steering wheel. It was present a little bit with my 31's, but I shrugged it off to mud in the bead and on the inside of the rim. I guess I should raise the front end, and check all my nuts and bolts to make sure they are all tight.
I also get a pretty good ping from the front control arms when the suspension sinks or stuffs. I should check to make sure those bolts are tight or not bent.
If anyone has any ideas or solutions to these, please put you ideas out.
Cheers
Chris
