This is my main transmission shift rod! Pulling out the selector to do some work and the rubber bushing came apart. It was pretty dry-rotted. Problem is I can't seem to find the replacements. These are used all over the selector rods under the Jeep from the transmission to the transfer case...

I have two exhaust studs broken flush with the head I need removed. Anyone own a shop or have the tools to remove the studs somehow? I just don't have the tools or the knowhow to do it. The heads are off the engine so I could just bring them over wherever the need to go. I'm hoping to get...

For some reason this part is impossible to find. There was definitely a gasket there when I took it off! I notice a lot of other transmissions just use RTV when they re-install the housing so my question is can I do the same thing? I had to open it up to replace the rear output seal that was...

Don't know how much information I'm going to get here on this one but here it goes..........I currently have an 86 XJ with the 2.8l v6 backed by the a904 3-speed transmission. Problem is I have never used this as a DD but situations have changed and I might be using it more often especially on...

Ever since I got my NP 231 installed with my new driveline I have been getting a horrible clunk when the transmission engages into reverse sometimes but almost always into drive. Could this be caused by having no front driveline attached? I am waiting to figure out how I am going to adapt the...

Can you pass emissions with part of your exhaust system missing? The only part thats missing is the tailpipe. It goes from the cat to a muffler then dumps off. In Virginia you had to have every single piece of your exhaust in place in order to pass but here they are just using the sniffer test.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyber_Intelligence_Sharing_and_Protection_Act I was surprised I hadn't heard about this till now and it has already passed congress quite easily! Censoring the internet is one thing but allowing any company to access my personal information at anytime for any reason...

Just picked up a practically brand new looking CS-130 alternator (105 amp) out of a junkyard today since my stock one decided to stop working. I have read what seems like a million pages and can't get a definitive answer on this. Do you need to add a resistor to the "L" wire or not and if you...

I can't seem to find anywhere that sells these. The one thats on my rig is damaged on one end does not move freely. I have read online from several other people, not Cherokee owners, that they have just gone to Napa to get them but nowhere on their site do they list them. I'm trying to hook...

While blindly removing all unnecessary wires and hoses I might have gotten rid of my HVAC vacuum controls! Is this the two vacuum lines that need to be connected? I only have heat blowing out my defrost by the windshield and I'm assuming these are them. Just wanted to make sure.

I am having a problem with my steering when heading in a straight line down the road. It takes about I would say from about 12 to 1 or 12 to 11 o'clock until some input is felt through the wheels. I had someone turn the wheel for me so I could look at all the components moving and I found...

I need some help to reconsider how I am adjusting my driveline, what angles to use, and what type of driveshaft I should use. If my math serves me right my TC points 5* downward and right now my front pinion points 5* upward. Should I leave this alone and just get a driveshaft with a u-joint...

Is there a reference guide or some sort of list for driveshaft lengths that would make it easier when I go to the junkyard? I have an A904 tranny that I just replaced my crappy NP228 with a NP231J and none of my stock driveshafts front or back will work nor the driveshaft that was on the...

I just recently bought a NP231 to replace my very sad NP228! My question is I am have a hard time understanding whether its as simple as pulling the electronic gear and replacing it with a cable driven or whether I need to replace the whole speedo housing? This is mounted in a 1986 jeep...

I just found out I didn't set wheelbase correctly so I have to adjust it a little bit. Is it safe with axle on jack stands to remove both upper and lower control arms and push it forward? The swaybars and shocks will still be in place. Is this enough to keep the springs in place or do I need...

I always get good responses from threads like this and being a NW person I have almost unlimited choices! It's also interesting to see what different types of beer people have from coast to coast. Anyways here we go.... Speakeasy Ales Double Daddy IPA! 21st Amendment Brewing Back in Black!

I was checking my driveline angles cause I'm ready to get my Jeep on the road and I'm getting 2* off of the yoke 17* on the driveline and 16.5* off of the pumpkin! How in the world can I fix this? I have the NP228 TC so it has a fixed yoke (no Slip Yoke). With two regular U-joints at each end...

Of course my vacuum diaphragm is shot on my NP228 and it no longer engages. If I were to just crawl underneath whenever I need and engage the 4wd lever, does it need positive engagement? Does it need something to hold it in place so it doesn't pop out of gear? It's super easy to engage that...

I was kicking around this idea watching a story on the history of hot rodders. I know I don't have a whole lot of posts here but do you consider wheeling hot rodding? We borrow alot of parts from older and newer jeeps to create our rides. Is putting a hemi in a jeep cherokee hot rodding or...

Do you center the axle by sight or is there some measurements you can take? Basically I have seen the suggested control arm lengths with lifts and most say they are garbage. Should I set the wheelbase then correct the angles with the uppers? Basically I just need some guidelines for...
