I got a a140 semi auto with the letter f on dash which indicates problem with the clutch which i have to ,when in 1st to pull away it jumps a little but then ok just on take off it does it, also sometime when driving i lose power steering please help its 1999 model

Yes dash control is bad most likely

sounds to me like the clutch plate is just a little worn. its a good way to test a clutch take off in 1st, 2nd on clutch power and see how it responds.

manual transmission clutches wear, making it necessary to adjust clutch pedal position, much like brake pads wear. Check your vehicle clutch adjustment by finding out if clutch pull point, or friction point is approximately I/2 the distance from all the way pressed to the floor and all the way released. does not need to be exactly halfway, but should be close. If the clutch release point is up towards the top vehicle clutch definitely will not hold completely, and allow vehicle pulsing roll. This will indicate clutch adjustment, or even require replacement.

If the clutch is a problem you will have difficulty selecting 1st only as the gears would be spinning from the engine revs.. I would say that the front input shaft (clutch shaft) bearing is failing allowing miss alignment of the synchros and not allowing proper engagement of the gears synchro rings. It means removal and repair to the gear box so the clutch can be inspected while the box is out.

Go here - www.jeepforum.com/forum/f11/tech-faq-links-tsbs-89273/ - and find the AW-4 Service and Diagnostic Manual. Looks like you need to test some solenoids.

Rather than banning scary looking black semi-automatic sporting firearms, why don't we
identify and treat the nut jobs pulling the triggers, and put the criminals in jail ?

the auto gearbox is low on transmission fluid is first thought .ot the front clutch but i would suspect low on oil ,start engine put in reverse then check fluid level ,with handbrake on and brick behind drive wheel of course .

easier to replace air comp but try this 1st webresourceful.com for auto manuals online

sounds as though your input shaft broke, this would cause a loud clunk, cause it to feel as though in gear, and cause no pull.

try to give it a little gas when letting the clutch out

indicates syncro ring or gear problem in the transmission
