I have a new transmission from XP Smart parts. When I stop and try to put it in first gear it’s like the transmission won’t stop turning to allow me to put it in gear. If I sit there with the clutch in for 3 to 5 seconds everything stops moving and it goes in smoothly. Is this just a fluid...

When I hit it with Ether it only acted like it was gonna start so I quit spraying it because I know it’s not good for them. I don’t have a wiring diagram to do the troubleshooting mentioned. When I thought it fired on ether I replaced the fuel pump and still won’t start and won’t even try to...

Well before I did anything I hit it with a shot of starting fluid and it fired right up. So I checked my fuel relay and fuses and nothing bad. I guess I’m dropping the gas tank this weekend.

While it is aggravating to have to replace it this soon, it’s not a hard job. Last year when I bought the Standard brand from Oreilly’s it does have a lifetime warranty so it’s not gonna cost me anything. 🙂

No it was definitely Standard brand from Oreilly’s

I don’t remember the brand but I want to say it may have been crown. Where do y’all get the OEM Mopar parts. The closest Jeep dealer is almost an hour away and every time I’ve tried to get something for my older 04 Wrangler they never have it.

So I’ve replaced the Crankshaft Position Sensor about a year ago. What’s the chances of that being the reason my 2004 4.0 manual X will not start now. It’s doing the same thing. So at 3 pm it started but probably took 3-5 seconds to fire and finally start which is unusual drive 26 miles. Then...

Just my 2 cents. I have a 2004 X 5 speed NV3500 that came with 3:07 gears. It ran 33’s most of its life on the stock axles until December 2020. I had a local shop upgrade the Dana 35/30 with 4:56 Motive gears and the Eaton TrueTrac in the rear. Best $2600 I’ve ever spent. It has plenty of power...

Yeah, zero towing and only wheeling was when it snowed I used it to just get around. The snow came after the gears had about 2500 miles on them.

Yes, didn’t get over 50mph and let the shop that did the regear change to fluids.

2004 X with Dana 30&35, fresh NV3550 and fresh transfer case. In December 2020 I had my crappy 3.07 gears swapped out for Motive 4.56 gears and TrueTrac locker in rear. In late February I had to drive back and forth to work in snow (4HI at about 40mph). The following week I got a front...

You just said both take So you’re saying all TJ’ with NP231 require the short input shaft

So instead I just ordered a gear shop remanufactured. However, when they invoiced me it said 23 spline short input. I questioned them on it and gave the all documentation that would indicate me needing the long input shaft. They’re currently checking into it to verify what I need. My question...

New to the forum so thanks in advance. I have a 2004 TJ X 4.0L manual transmission. My transfer case is roaring terribly. I have purchased an used transfer case from a 1998 TJ 4.0L manual transmission. Will this bolt up directly or is the input shaft on the 04 longer than the 98. If so can I...
