Ok when I got my Liberty recently I didn’t have a way to get it up to 5th gear on a test drive. I just took it for a quick run up to highway speed and it wouldn’t go into 5th. There’s no grinding noise. I’m thinking I’ll have to drop the transmission and replace 5th.

Yeah I have the 5 speed manual gearbox..no problems at all.

Is the oil level correct and has the correct gearbox oil?

I presume you have downloaded the relevant manuals for your Jeep here:

www.colorado4wheel.com/manuals/Jeep/KJ/

If you are looking to replace the clutch at the same time read up on the process..the Flywheel has a curve in it which must NOT be machined down!

I haven’t had a chance to do fluid change yet.

Make sure you use the correct specification gearbox oil...my local Jeep Dealers tried to persuade me that ATF+4 was the correct oil for the 5 speed manual gearbox!!!Wrong!!

ATF+4 is for the Transfer case!

The link to the Jeep KJ Manuals I sent you has the list of the correct fluids for your year KJ...including HOAT anti-freeze fluid for the cooling system.
