So my friend's 98 Jeep Wrangler is bucking in first gear and part of second, as soon as you let out the clutch. I added some fuel injector cleaner real quick....I dont really work on cars much. Anyone willing to help, or know a good shop? I think it could just use a good general tune up, spark plugs, etc. Anyone who helps can either be paid some cash or i can install their stereo. I work at the gainesville circuit city as an installer, i know stereos very well just not really cars themselves.

Thanks in advance

letting out of the clutch too quick/low and shifting too early into 2nd?

 

nah man ive driven stick for 2 and a half years now, i learned on it, i drove the jeep when it was acting normal. It was bucking so bad I thought the motor mounts were gonna break and the engine was gonna drop right out of the car. It seems to happen worse as the car gets hot.

I was revving the crap out of it in first while babying the clutch to try and get it going a little smoother, still shook. I tried everything, to no avail, only pattern being it gets worse when the cars hotter.

 

I wouldn't know anything about that man really, I could take some educated guesses but probrably nothing more than what you all could do....I've always taken my car to Tires Plus up here on the corner of 34th/Archer....always have had good work from them, and they're pretty good guys for being a large chain like that........

 

Aight thanks anyway, just dont wanna get ripped off cuz like I said, I know stereos not cars.
