I would recomend changing all fluids first but before waisting your cash on new fluids you should put it up on some good jack stands(recomend doing this with no wheels on so to be safe & put all lug nuts on to keep rotors & drums from flopping around) & run it through the gears in 4 wheel drive to make shure there are no strange noises from any bearings(t case,trans,f&r diffs) because no sence in waisting good expensive fluid on something that is going to need a rebuild. When draining any fluid it is a good idea to use a clean container so you can inspect the old fluid for internal wear. Fluid will have a mitallic sparkel if there is bearing wear(not good). Find a strong clean magnet & run it through the fluid & see if it picks up alot of metal debris. Even a small amount is not good but then again I can only imagin the amount of metal floating around in Rocks AX15 & that thing is still going. That shows how much abuse a manual trans can take before it finally quits(or will it quit)

i have a grinding sound when i push down on the clutch pedal. even when both trans and transfer are in neutral when i push down it grinds. also it might've been a honey color or abit darker. with my luck it's original from 82/81
skibum:
Does it grind when the engine it off?

If it's running and in neutral with the clutch pressed in does it sound like a spinning grinding sound? One of my CJs had a throwout bearing that was going on it and it made a grinding like something was spinning inside.
