My rig just died on my for the last time. The other day i was going to work. At the stop light I put it neutral, then went to shift into first and nothing. The spring feel and feeling of being in gear has been slowly fading over the last 2-3 weeks. Now the shifter just floats around in complete...

Finally getting around to doing the full tune up today. Got both fuel filters, a new air filter, plugs, cap and rotor and some injector cleaner. Need to pick up the new wires and am wondering if the 8mm are even worth it? The whole point of this tune up is to eliminate a mis-fire that is causing...

Just had some asshat brake check me the other night for no reason. Needles to say I lost it; I ended locking em up and doing a 180 into the curb. Severely bent my rim, to the point that its touching the leaf spring and is almost at a 30 degree angle. I just picked up a spare today and threw it...

Alright, my beast is being a PITA yet again. Currently its running extremely rough. Similar to how an old 454 with a carb would run, chugging i guess would be the correct word. There's a strong gas smell constantly and I'm getting horrid MPG, around 7-10 depending on how i drive. Also I've lost...

Been having issues with loss of power. I feel good pressure in the motor and exhaust but it feels like its being held back. As far as I can tell there isn't anything loose or any vacuum leaks. There is an exhaust leak at the head due to a snapped off bolt. Odd thing is that I had this issue...

Alright just finished up the rear drums on my 87 xj (dana 35). Firstly the shoes aren't returning properly as seen in the video. Also The back pad (left) is even going out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tix2uS1n91I (the video hasn't finished processing so it may take a while for HD to be...

Just pulled the old ones, and can't even get to installing the new ones. I'm having issues getting the pin through the bushings on the new shocks. Any ideas? I pulled the bushing out and put the pin through it and am now trying to get the pin/bushing back into the shock with no success.

Title says it all, mine have severely worn bushings in the front and are leaking oil in the rear. I need to know what you guys think are the smoothest riding shocks. I really dont wheel the thing, I just want something really smooth for the street, since its a daily driver atm.

Sometimes when braking I get a deep clicking noise, its worse downhill than on flat/uphill and the harder I brake the louder it gets. I also sometimes get a sound when pressing the clutch in, similar to a bad pilot bearing. Just to let you know I did an AX-15 swap and got rid of the pilot...

Alright, we just finished buttoning up the everything on my buddies RMS project. Started her up and ran her for a few minutes then saw a nice big puddle of oil underneath. Started her up again and watched this time. Oil is just pouring out in a stream from the RMS. We had problems lining the...

Title says it all, I'm in a bind. 2 piece Rear main seal, upper is completely stuck in there. So the tranny is out and I loosened all of the bearing caps, but cannot get the crankshaft to drop for nothin'. Any ideas on how to get this PITA to drop so I can hopefully get the upper portion of the...

Just finished up my rear main seal. Now afterward i have a little bit weaker clutch pressure and issues getting into gear. I ended up having to jack the car up by the cross-member, but doubt that this would cause any issues. The master cylinder and slave cylinder are both only 9months old. I...

Just finished sinking in the upper and lower ball joints and am having issues getting the knuckle to go back up and on. I know I'm not suppose to pull the knuckle up with the bolts. When I pressed it on with a jack I didn't have a zerk fitting on the top ball joint and a bunch of grease shot...

Into my front end, replacing knuckles, ball joints, trackbar and cv joints. I've come across a problem, the cv joints I was sold are wrong. They include both in and outer axle shafts and cv joint. I have standard 4-point ujoints w/ caps. What did these ujoints come out of so I can tell my parts...

Alright, long story short I'm replacing everything but the axle tube and ring and pinion. So new knuckles, ball joints, CV joints, trackbar, steering stabilizer and wheel bearings. Just finished up all the tie rods and rod ends. Now I've run into the problem of removing the ABS Rings from my new...

Just got finished with an ax15 swap. After everything got bolted back up I took it out for a test drive. It starts and revs in neutral or with the clutch in just fine. Once you get into gear and put load on the motor it just wont accelerate. If you barely put your foot on the pedal it will very...

Alright first off hi to everyone, this is my first post here on the forums and surely not my last. Now to the fun stuff. I'm just about to complete my ax15 swap but have been running into a PITA problem. The trans, exhaust and drivelines are all in. But I messing with that stupid mount and...
