Not sure whats with the ... I figured it was best to come back and bring what answers I found rather then leave just another tread without some resolution. Here some pics of the broken parts. Filter Seal Fork Range Sleeve Again thanks for the help, I probably would of just taken it to a shop...

Update: Alright figured I'd I do the internet justice and will post an update. I'll get pictures up later today. After being a bum for about a month and a half, my buddy and I finally decided to do the dirty work ourselves and dropped my Transmission along with the Transfer case. It seems that...

Northern Coconino county. So a bit of a drive. When I get my jeep back I'll try and figure out if the Torque Converter is also bad. If not that might be a good option. Thx for the link.

Hmmm, I thought I heard pretty clearly. I'm however not nearly qualified to tell you if the grinding sound I heard is a transmission. Like I said I'm a computer tech, one who enjoys taking his jeep out with buddies and losing tires, breaking track bars and in general enjoying off-roading. I...

Thanks for all the replies! I understand that its supposed to be a great transmission, but sadly mine either lemon'd or was used rougher then I thought. Hopefully with good maintenance the next one lasts longer. I have a sudo-mechanic buddy (Was into fixing cars then switched to fixing planes)...

Thanks of letting me know that Jr/Dan. I live in a pretty small town, with very limited options. Where my vehicle broke is a bit bigger, I'll call around there and see if I can get a better deal. $3,7k still the best quote I've gotten. I'll also double check with them and see if that's stock or...

See I just don't know enough about transmissions. Not even sure what upgrades would be relevant. But no I doubt that included anything other than a base transmission from Jasper. I'll continue to poke my nose around, however I've mostly gotten quotes for new/rebuilds. 4k from jeep and 5.4k for...

First, thank you guys for a whole ton of info when I was shopping for a built XJ. (Ended up picking this one up for 8.5k) Although I didn't buy it from somebody here I got a lot of useful information. Its been great to me this far. However, my first XJ that I've had for about 4 months now has...

Damn royal xj thanks for the post. Nice jeep and price Sadly it probably won't happen, as MI is a bit of a drive from AZ, tho I'll look into it.

I understand the idea, and don't fault any sellers for trying to get the most out of their investments and I do appreciate the feedback I've goten. I was looking at CJ-7 a while back and saw a large amount of them quickly jump to the high teens/low twenties when they have had a lot of work done...

Looks nice, however its from May and considering he hasn't logged back on since 16th of June I imagine he has sold it.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask about this. But since its modded, 4.6l stroker, etc. This seemed like it might be the right place to ask. My fairly stock 96 zj is on its dying breathers. Engine is going to need replace, kinda drove it through a river. You know jeep things ;). However...
