I have a very similar problem on my 98. The windows can always be operated from the driver side panel while the other three are on again off again. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't and, as far as I can see, there is no reason why. I just rack it up to a ghost in the machine or simply...

So, I'm under the vehicle looking up at the linkage (not really, I'm actually here in my office). In relation to the linkage, where would the connector be located? Are you referring to an electrical type connector? And you say "transmission" but do you mean "transfer case" or am I really...

Yep, that's how I did it! But I had to twiddle with a bit to get it to work perfectly. I am not sure but it seems like they might be a bit more play in the linkage than there should be. But after adjusting it through trial and error, it shifts quite smoothly - no problems except for the...

98 Classic with Selec-Trac. A number of months back I did some adjusting on my TC case linkage as the vehicle was not coming out of PT4WD. I adjusted the linkage so that it does indeed come out of 4WD but the dash lights do not always show this. The vehicle will actually be in 2WD but on the...

Rich: Thanks for the very informative AND prompt response. I will give recharging the system a whir myself - especially with your detailed instructions. Would the clutch only be cycling when the engine is cool(er) or should it do it all the time at idle? As for the code, I've exprerienced no...

I'm sure that this has been discussed before and I did a search on this forum and read many of the posts - but there is always hope that someone has been through a similar situation and has the exact answer. I have a 98 Classic with a Sanden compressor. I turned on the AC the other day for the...

Problem solved. I finally got around to crawling underneath and having a go at the linkage. After some trial and error positioning, I found the one that works great. It now shifts the best in has in a long time. Cheers, Sean

For the record I did the search on this forum for info regarding transfer case linkages because I believe this to be my problem. And I read all the posts that were applicable. Here is my situation. Just this AM (out of the blue) my 98 XJ Classic (with Selec-Trac) would not drop out of FT 4WD...

Eagle: From the Cooper Website the following specs are given: P245/70R15 Section width - 9.95 Overall height - 28.40 Tread width - 7.60 P235/75R15 Section width - 9.30 Overall height - 28.85 Tread width - 6.45 Wouldn't a 1.15" addition to tread width be preferable to a .45" increase in...

I'm running 245 70 15 Cooper AT's. For all intents and purposes they are exactly the same height (maybe 1/8" in total) as the 235 75's but the tread pattern is 1" wider. Front on, the whole vehicle looks that much wider because of the increase in tire width. I have very minimal rubbing on the...

The shop simply cut a new leaf, sandwiched it in between the existing ones. It looks fine to me. The vibrations I am feeling are heard more than felt and seem to be coming from further back than the slip yoke. Dropping the TC seems to be the best/easiest experiment for me right now - famous last...

I added a leaf to my 98 and I've been chasing driveline vibes since I drove away from the spring shop!!! I was not intending to get any real lift - I just wanted to stop bottoming out on road bumps while carrying my camping gear. I'd say I got a 1.5" lift. I get vibes under hard acceleration...

Matthew: I did a similar thing to my 98 just a few weeks ago - I had a local shop add a leaf because of sag and bottoming out on bumps with even small loads. My ride height is up about the same as yours but I've been having driveline vibes since I drove off the shop's parking lot - under hard...

Driveline Vibration I have a similar vibe at around 110km (very close to 55mph) that occurs only under load. Sometimes when you tap the gas while coasting at said speed, you will get a flutter as well. I'm thinking my ujoints may be stiff (eventhough the dealer said they are fine. BTW, brought...

My wife loves the XJ!! She always did like them - even before we bought it. Case in point , we were camping a few months ago and it was parked next to us in the campsite when, out of the blue, she states what I great looking vehicle it was. I had to agree. The "peppiness" of the 4.0L amazes me...

Sorry - I wasn't implying that the Classic was "rare"in the sense of collectability - just "rare" in that I don't see many around here. Sean

I have a 98 Classic which apparently sits between the Sport and the Limited. This model must not have been offered for very long because, while I see lots of Sports, Classics are pretty rare. Sean

I have a stock 98 and I need to know something about the rubber bushings between the bottom of the tc and the cross member. Is there supposed to be any rubber on the cross member - I have a strip of rubber less than 1/4"high and there is a good 1/2" gap bewteen the cross member and the bottom of...

I don't know how long the Ujoints have been in - I bought the vehicle one year ago. It now has just over 119,000 km and was never abused. When the dealer replaced the ring/pinion three weeks ago, I specifically asked that they check the ujoints. I can only take their word that they are fine (ha...

If that is the case, wouldn't the wrap have been worse "before" I added the leaf and subsequently stiffened springs? There were no vibes whatsoever prior to the addition - neither under full acceleration nor at highway speed. Sean
