Cool, thanks!! Are they terribly expensive to rebuild?? I had the 909 re-did in my 86 wagoneer limited (2.8)-I pulled it-and it was $700-I was hoping a manual would somehow be cheaper....grinding when I try to downshift-syncros are going as best I can figure-any experience out there with fixing...

Could anyone tell me how to ID the 5-spd in my Cherokee?? (4.0-1992) It has 9 large ribs on the drivers side of the case and a serial number starting with 204.... on the bottom-it's whining like crazy and I'll need to rebuild it shortly. I can't tell if it's an AX-15 or AX-5. Thanks to all...

Yuccaman, mine's a '92 and I had plenty of room to get a wrench or ratchet on it, taking care to stay clear of the starter...... If you have the machining skills, it would be a cool piece to replicate. O-rings appeared to be the same as the rest, drilled out from the engine side with 2 holes for...

I think I will, thanks....and it was Yuccaman's article-no disrespect to him-couldn't remember his name...I prefer motorcraft filters anyhoo....maybe even a k&n. Orange can of death, that's a hoot!!

I don't remember the gent's name-something-man, but he's got a website with pictures of the procedure on turning the adapter to horizontal-mentioned a t-60 bit to get the adapter off-may have been an earlier model-mine's a 1992-used a fram ph-8a oil filter for ford v-8's too. 3/4 x 16 threads...

Changed the adapter-to-block o-ring last night-had my torx t-60 bit and was ready to go......and sweating....imagine my surprise when I discovered the adapter bolt had a 5/8's standard head on it-took it off with a ratchet-cleaned everything up and was done including an oil change in about a...

Uses about a quart per hundred miles with ease...but no blue smoke and nothing from the top of the engine.....need to get under it I guess...just got it back from my wife's son......ragged it out....hopefuly I can still do something with it...Pat

Thanks Yuccaman...I've read that the 1991's had the correct piece...but darned if the thing ain't still upside down....I'd like to join you guys with the 35's+, 4.10's-n-change, lifts, etc....someday...if only I could get approval from the appropriations commitee.........

Rich, I know what you mean......my 4.0L has the usual oil on it, but no where near the level of oil loss...ur's is the explanation that I wished I thought of!!! Pat

Yep, me again..... My 1992 Cherokee Sport goes thru oil like ***** thru a goose!!! To date, I haven't found any obvious leaks and it doesn't appear to be burning.....could the converter be hiding the smoke?? Anyone else have unexplained leaks??? Any of you great folks ever served onboard USS...

Has anyone had any luck with spinning the 90 degree oil filter fitting to a position other than almost straight up??? Thanks to all of you guys and gals for having me onboard...Pat
