Help

I have a 2000 XJ Sport 4x4 4.0L auto and I have almost fixed most of my headaches. I put in a new radiator, hoses and flushed. New oil pan and filter. All new window regulator ends to keep them from falling down, etc.

Anyway to the point. I just ordered a new evaporator and heater core to replace next weekend to make the A/C and heat work. I know I need to take out the dash but how in the world do I get the automatic transmission shifter handle off. I cannot seem to find out how to remove the silly thing!

Also I have the engine without plug wires, does anyone know where I can get the parts to change the plugs, etc?

Thank you in advance for the help.

Hey Ron. On my 1999 you just have to pull straight up on the "T" part. Is doesn't come off easy, but it will pop off with a little tugging. :us:

I don't remember if I had to remove the center console to remove the dash or not, but if that's why you are taking off the shift knob, then the next problem you will run into is getting the console over the park brake handle. An good trick here is to remove the rear brake drums and then you will have enough travel in the lever to get the console over it.

For the spark plugs, you really don't need anything except the plugs themselves. The coil packs bolt right on top the plugs - no wires or anything else to mess with. It's pretty clean system. There are three coils for the six plugs. The computer fires both plugs hooked to each coil at the same time. Since one cylinder is on compression and one is on exhaust, it doesn't hurt to fire them both together.
