My AW4 tranny just lost 4th gear. Lots of stuff sitting down in the pan when I changed the filter so it's got I've got problems. A guy that used to be a mechanic for a Jeep dealership told me that rebuilding this tranny wasn't a good idea. He said the Jeep dealer he worked for always replaced...

Recently my TJ has been giving me troubles. It has an auto transmission, and when it shifts to 3rd, either up or down, it seems to be slipping. The engine revvs way up, and the gear won't catch until I lett off the gas. It's only 3rd gear that's giving me this trouble. Any ideas?

Both my 97 ZJ and the 95 YJ are having brake problems... the front driver's side caliper (spelling?) seems to be causing the brake pads to drag which eventually begins brake fade and some smoking. I took it off and cleaned them up. I'm wondering if the piston is corroded or something? Same...

10700 miles but 37 years old. Smokes at startup, the ugly grey oil burning kind, but seem to let up after the engine warms up. Some days it starts with no smoke at all. I'm sure it needs a rebuild but that's the deal with the intermitant smoke?

Original military 24v ignition. Runs fine at idle and low rpm and will rev up for a while but after about a minute of driving at normal rpms it begins to lose power and backfire. Gotta check the timing but wouldn't that be consistant from engine start to engine shut down? This thing is a lot...

Trying to get new toy home! I'm buying a 1967 fullsize truck (85" width and aprox 200" length) but it's located in NC and I live in FL. Being that it's 38 years old, I'm a little concerned that it won't like being driven that far so I'm trying to figure out some options besides having it...

I HATE the Jeep dealer near my house. These people SUCK. When one of those "take it to the dealer" issues come up I am so afraid of what those people will do to my XJ. My ZJ has to make a trip to the dealer and I'm already dreading it. Maybe NAXJA members could come up with a list of good...

Discovered some red stuff under the ZJ tonight and crawled under expecting to see the tranny bleeding. Nope, it's the transfer case. I guess the 249 has it's own set of problems. I don't hear any grinding so I'm assuming the VC is holding up so far (75k) but obviously I've got a seal problem...

Man, this is getting annoying. I'm tired of these wackos trying to mess with me and my country. I know this is unpopular and politically incorrect but here is my plan: :soapbox: 1. Secure the boarders. I know that Mexico and Canada will be offended but I really don't care- my way of...

Yesterday was a sad day for me. I had to do what I never thought I'd ever do, I leased a Honda Civic. My neighbors were in obvious shock when the little blue Civic entered my driveway and I claimed it as ours not a rental or loaner. Even I sit in disbelief as I see the shiny new little gas...

Cranks and turns fine but refuses to run. If I give it a little gas it will fire up but dies the second I remove my foot from the gas pedal. Seems like a sensor problem? Any thoughts or ideas? Thanks! 1997 5.2L 75k

Last nonfunctioning piece of equip. I tested the voltage at the switch, the switch continuity, and continuity of the grid in the window. All seem okay. The little light on the switch doesn't come on when I attempt to turn on the defroster. The grid doesn't heat up either. Got to be the...

Finally switched out the "multifunction control lever" and it solved my cruise issues. Got the whole thing put back together and still have highbeams too :D Sigh, :tear: now I have a "binding" when I turn to the left through about the 10 o'clock position. It's like the cancelling ring is...

Anybody know the power output of the stocker radio? I've got a bunch of stuff left over from a previous system I might throw into the Chief.

Well, after getting my idle problem sorted out and the Chief now running perfectly, it suddenly decides to have an electrical problem. Sigh.... Noticed last night that the instrument lights weren't working. Removed and replaced old headlight switch and now not only do I not have any...

On my 4.0L 88 XJ 4x4 there are two holes in the TB. One of them connects to MAP sensor. What is the other hole for? Am I missing a vac line? :huh:

Well I might be headed out of the country for a while for work. Might have to put some of the fleet in cold storage until I return. I plan to dump some stabilizer in the gas and fill the engine all the way to the top of the valve cover after a new oil and filter to help keep the lifters...

ZJ tensioner pulley is making clicking noises. Loud enough to hear outside it with the engine running. Just replaced h2o pump last week... Any thoughts? Thanks

Hi, Wife just called from work and described a problem with our '97 ZJ 5.2L. She says she's got a rattle at idle that sounds like it's coming from under the hood. She says it's pretty loud because she could hear it over the radio. Search results on NAGCA all kind of point to a Cat. going bad...

Hi all, My neighbor is considering purchasing an XJ and asked my advise about this particular XJ. The details follow so you can tell what type of equip. and mileage, price, ect. I have an '88 but later models have different issues so I am wondering what else to check besides the typical...
