Re: tranny is shot, what would you do? That's DEFINITELY a good option that I like. I'd LOVE to make mine an auto, but I'd think that the swap would be more involved. Wouldn't I need a TCU, wiring harness, etc...? Also, why bother swapping the pedals? I'd probably just leave the clutch...

You probably need an alternator. I fried more than a couple in my old '91 XJ while wheeling myself, and they always triggered a CEL with that code IIRC. The geniuses at AMC decided to mount it nice and low, so if you drive through any mud or water you'll soak it. You can try cleaning it out...

Re: tranny is shot, what would you do? I personally don't have all that much of a problem with the Peugeot. With the exception of some clunky shifting (what do you expect from an old row-your-own SUV?), this is the first problem I've had with the tranny itself. The slave cylinder went, but...

Well I have a 242 Tcase out of a 1992 AW4 XJ, it needs rebuilding but I can do that if necessary. I didn't know the crossmember was different as well. What's different about it?...or is it only different in the YJ? Also, will the AX15 work with the Peugeot clutch (same input splines)? I just...

It's a 1987 XJ, 4.0, 4WD, stock. The Frenchie Peugeot tranny finally crapped out. It's toasted. I just need to get it fixed without spending a fortune, I'm not really looking to upgrade unless it's easier or cheaper. I'd prefer to expend as little effort as possible because I'm one lazy mofo...

I did exactly that with mine...1991 HO into a 1987 Renix. I have a manual, I forget the specifics but the resistance values are different between the TPS's. I modified my HO throttle body to accept the Renix TPS, I'll provide details about that if anyone is interested. In retrospect, it'd be...

The code for the speed sensor will appear if the speedometer isn't working. Loosen the bolt holding the sensor in, and rotate it. The sensor is offset, so as you rotate it the gears will mesh and then come apart again. Make sure the gears are actually making contact. As for the code for the...

Best advice ever. I swapped a '91 HO into my '87 and used the '91 manifolds. I was able to make it work, but in retrospect I should have just reused the RENIX manifolds and saved some headaches. There won't be many, if any, changes to the block and head from the OBDII changeover in 1996, but...

I believe they're the same, not 100% sure as I've never tried to switch from year to year...but they look the same. Also, are you sure that your wheels are sitting like that because of your bearings and not your ball joints? Have you had your Jeep aligned...could be just a camber issue. Check...

I think he's talking about the fluid in the master cylinder. Just flush it out. Bleed the rear brakes (with a helper) until the master is nearly empty, then refill with fresh fluid and repeat until you get nice clean fluid coming out the bleeders. Just don't let the master go completely dry...

I voted 10 over cause that's usually about what I do in the Jeep. In the Mustang or Grand Prix or any car that's not an SUV/truck, move me up to "very spirited" :D I do always stay within the limits of the vehicle and conditions, I don't swerve, weave, or change lanes frequently. I always...

You should diagnose the problem first, instead of just throwing parts at it. P0455 is a large EVAP leak I believe. First, clear the code out and drive for awhile, see if it comes back. If the CEL comes back on with the same code, then you do have a problem and it's not a fluke. Assuming...

The disco axle will work fine, but you'll need to do the manual cable conversion you mention...I don't think the newer Tcases have the vacuum ports to control the axle. The manual cable system will allow you to have 2WD low range if you keep the front diff open as well. Other than the...

It's extremely easy. A couple screws and the panel just pops off...it's held in mostly with plastic clips. There are two screws in the armrest/handle, and one behind the interior latch. There may be another screw or two I'm missing, but I remember it's VERY easy. Once the panel is off, 4...

I don't think so. Some of the older models had a sleeve that threaded into the knuckle, but I don't think there's a difference in the ball joint itself.

Gootentight. I forget if there's a cotter pin on that or not, but if there is, tighten it down good, line up the hole in the stud with the slot in the nut, and put the pin through.

Did this trans come out of a 4-cyl YJ? I thought all 4.0's were the same...? You may need to have a custom pilot bushing made, that'd be easier than having the crank machined. A sleeve on the input shaft may work too.

Check the IAC and TPS, the two sensors on the throttle body. The Idle Air Controller (IAC) has a pintle that moves in or out to allow air into the engine (bypassing the throttle plate) so it can idle...the pintle moves to control the air flow and thereby idle speed. The Throttle Position...

It's not going to fix itself, and it will get worse. Will it suddenly blow up and spit ALL the oil out? Probably not. Can you keep it topped off and be OK? Yes, you should be fine. When you replace the seal, check your CCV system and make sure it's not clogged.

I believe the stud is splined and pressed in.
