    Clutch work

    Does anyone here know of a good XJ shop in the Charlotte area where I might be able to get a quote on clutch and flywheel replacement?

    2001 4.0 5spd 4-door

    Price drop, $2000 It has been getting hard to shift, I think it needs a new clutch, pressureplate, and throw-out bearing.

    thinking about moving from XJ to Commander

    Thanks for the reply! I don't plan to tow anything, was going to try to find one with the V6. Can you fit a 4x8 sheet of plywood in the back with both back rows of seats down? From what I could find online, it looks like the 2010 has the least issues.

    thinking about moving from XJ to Commander

    I have been thinking about getting a commander. Is there a production year sweet spot in the commanders?

    2001 4.0 5spd 4-door

    Decided it is time to find a new home for my XJ. I dont get to drive it much these days and I hate to see it sitting lonely in the driveway. I replaced the original tranny with a AX-15, the head was replaced about 18 months ago. Have replaced MANY parts over the past 4 years. Interior is in...

    I found a couple threads where the fan would work fine when cold but not when it was hot. Maybe a new fan would be the solution.

    time to make a decision

    Well, I have a high-flow thermostat, new fan shroud, and new belt heading my way from rock auto. The radiator is 2.5 years old, the water pump is about 3months old, the fan clutch is about a year old. I flushed the system out about 2 years ago when I replaced the heater core (boy was that a...

    time to make a decision

    Now I am getting a P1491 CEL code. (RADIATOR FAN CONTROL RELAY CIRCUIT) I ran it down the road about 10 miles and it stayed at 180Deg (I have a 180deg thermostat in it). I read on here to test the fan while the engine was running by unplugging the temp sender at the thermostat housing. When I...

    actually, the top of the fan shroud broke off. it is still on the lower 3/4 though. I broke the original one and ordered a new one from rock auto. I managed to break the new one a couple months ago.

    time to make a decision

    Well, I did have a fan relay issue. With the AC on and temp at 225 it was still not spinning. I removed the relay and replaced with an old one, still nothing. Put the newer one in and it started working. It now comes on at 220 and cuts off at 217. The gauge on mine seems a bit off. the...

    I know it was working but will have to make sure. Was thinking maybe fan clutch also.

    A little more back story. On the day I was driving to Fla, I noticed the temp was running about 20deg higher then normal. it went about 150 miles like that before it spiked enough to make the Check Gauges light come on. Then after a mile or so it would go back down to where it was (around...

    The issue I have with the transport people is they cant give me a pickup time less then 24 hrs. I am not being pressed to move it, and I could just fix it where it is. I really hate to mess up someone else's driveway. And even though it should be straight forward head swap, I always seem to...

    time to make a decision

    I think I have decided to get it back home to work on it. The auto transport quotes I am getting are in the $300 range. Would anyone on here want to move it from Savannah to Waxhaw for $300? would rather give my money to someone on here.

    time to make a decision

    The place in Greenwood told me I had to have the old head to pick up the new one. I found a place Johnson-Tipton 6320 Gibson Rd Gibson NC 910-268-2800 They have ready to install ones for 265 and told me I could bring them the old one when I got back from Savannah. Is there anything I need to...

    Is that ready to install or would I need to install the springs and lap valves?
