Hey guys,
A year ago I picked up a '91 Cherokee with a 4.0 and an automatic transmission.
It ran great for six months, but then I realized the crank was walking back and forth about 3/8"-1/4", sending the pulleys out of alignment and making a huge racket.
I've heard you can get crank walk by riding the clutch, but this is an automatic.
I'm pretty much at a loss for being able to explain what happened, and I am worried about it occurring again once I put in a new motor. Could the tranny/t-converter/flex-plate be responsible in some way? Or was it something else?
Thanks for your help
