well i had the car runing daybefor yesterday after i had changed the oil... went out and got it started today to try and get it outta the garage ...it died went to restart and click is all i get checked all the fuses tried to jump it nothing but a click pulled the plugs and tried to turn the motor over by hand it wont budge ...so it looks like my motor is locked up ... oh well guess ill try the atf thing and if that doesnt free it up ..i guess its time for a rebuld...damn damn damn and i though it was gona be easy

 

did you put oil back in it? are you 100% sure the engine wont turn over by hand? the car has to be out of gear when you try to turn it over by hand. if it was in gear, theres no way youd of turned it. make sure its out of gear and try again. it shouldnt lock up after changing the oil if it was running before hand. if thats the case, try putting some regular motor oil in the engine before you use ATF. ATF is dangerous to play with in engines.

 

yea its outta gear i know for a fact i put oil in it lol tried to turn it over by hand and no luck ..it had been siting for 2 years befor hand but i canged the fluids did a full tune up then tried to start it it fired up and ran good two days ago .i went out about three hours ago checked the oil it was good fired it up it idled for about 30 seconds then i let the choke out and it died ..i tried to restart and only got a click ..so i made sure i had a good batery still nothing but a click .theres no leaks and no spots of oil under it and i checked and made sure it still has oil....its outa gear the only other thing i can think of is maybe some how the clutch has some how locked its self to the flywheel maybe it had got water in it and rusted im gona drop the trans be for i do any of the atf stuff ......

 

I'm not sure that an engine can lockup that quickly except if something serious is broken. Usually, long neglect is required, as I understand it.

 

if all youre getting is a click it isnt the clutch. check the batterie connections. check the connections at the starter also. make sure none of them are corroded or dirty. check your fusible links while youre at it. you can always try rolling it off.

 

yea i check and replaced almost all the fuses today as well ..i dont know man im at aloss im done messin with it for the night have to finish getin my jeep ready for the show and shine tomarrow but after that i plan in tring to get this figured out ..its driving me nutz the damnthing was runing fine and no nothing lol
