I think I'll go to bed.

I just finished an Ax-5 swap in my jeep, but when I was readying it to be put in I noticed there is a ball bearing that the end of the clutch fork makes contact with when the clutch is depressed. It sits inside a small hole in the bell housing, and it fell out. I cleaned up the hole as it...

Well, if any of you read my recent thread about the installation of my tranny (Ax5, into a 1985 2.5L XJ), then you might remember that I had problems with the new clutch disc fitting on the input shaft of the tranny. I had bought an aftermarket clutch because it was cheap, and i expected it to...

I'm installing my new ax5 into my '85 XJ and we've encountered a problem. Just put in the new clutch kit, went in fine. Jacked ax5 tranny + np207 transfer case up into place and we cant get the splines on the input shaft to mesh into the engine. Already checked to make sure that the spline count...

After 2 days of debaclery (if thats a word) my new ax-5 transmission has been pulled from its home in an '85 xj chief and now lays in my backyard under a tarp awaiting installation. Having never removed a transmission before nor had any idea at all how to do so, it was quite an experience...

All the engine swaps i've seen usually involve a small block chevy drivetrain, and considering there is one sitting in my backyard, I was wondering about the feasibility of swapping in a ford 5.0 into my '85 XJ. There are several issues that I think would need to be tackled and i dont know if...

I'm running my '85 2.5L XJ and it needs a new thermostat but there are several temperatures available to put in...i'm not sure which to put in. what came stock in it? 160? 180?

One of my rear quarter panels is rusting out, and it has already been repaired before but is rusting again (i live in a snowy area) so I need to just replace it. Unfortunately I can't find any place where I could get a new one. The vehicle is an '85 2-door XJ. Anybody know where I could get one...

We've got the FSM wiring diagram but we need DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS on how to do the following: Wire up overhead console from a 92 xj into a 90 xj pioneer that previously didnt have an overhead console. We've got one plug in that controls the lights, but the temp/compass module doesn't work...

A thread very close to this has been brought up before, but I need a new oil pressure sending unit and I was wondering if anyone could tell me where it is on a 1985 2.5L XJ (w/ carburetor). As to the sending unit itself, I'm using the gauge cluster from a '90, but I assume I still need the '85...

I just got a full console (off a '90 XJ) from the junkyard installed today, somehow I got the perfect color match so wahoo as far as that goes. The whole thing bolted on quite easily but I am having a problem with my shift boot (i have a 5-speed). The boot didn't work on the old mini-console...

Yep. I did it. I took the full gauge cluster from a '90 4.0L XJ and slapped 'er into my '85 2.5L. I would just like to offer a few tidbits of advice if there are others out there with an '84-'86 looking to get rid of those damn idiot lights. First of all, as I know now, the best thing for this...

I've got a 1985 Cherokee 2.5L 5-speed manual right now. The tranny's about to go, and I was going to put in another 5-speed but I was driving my friend's automatic yesterday and realized how much I would rather just have an auto. From what I've read here, it seems the Chrysler 904 tranny will...
