When I stared my car this morning there was a grinding noise and then it started. Other problems difficulty shifting into gear. Sometimes the car shakes, but when I rev the engine it goes away.

Sounds like the starter bendix is begining to drag, just wearing out. A shop can do a draw test on the starter and tell you if its going out on you. The only other thing that would make a dragging sound could be the flywheel starter ring teeth are showing wear but I would beet its the starter itself. The shaking you are feeling before revving is probably just a good tune up and have the injectors cleaned if its been awhile. The tranny, ending in 95 the yj's used a peugeot tranny 5 sp. If this is what you have then its the cluster gear starting to go ill bet. This is rarely a tranny that is worth rebuilding unless you never offroad. Sadly the last time I priced a cluster gear for a rebuild it was over 300$ and this was not all my tranny needed. I would suggest a swap out to a ax5 it came in the same years, its also a light duty tranny but was more durable than the peugeot in my opinion. Let me know what you finally do. Hope this helps you and thanks. Curt
