    Intermittent vibration 2005 TJ

    Will definitely look at that. I am all for a driveshaft fix and not a transmission repair :)

    Intermittent vibration 2005 TJ

    Yep, was thinking about pulling the rear, but good idea to do the front as well first. Thanks, will do that today.

    Intermittent vibration 2005 TJ

    Hi All, Sorry for the erratic post, but losing my mind trying to find this. Have this odd 'vibration' or sound that comes in intermittently in the driveline around 2000 rpm in some gears, sometimes...easy to pinpoint right LOL. Rides and drives beautifully 95% of the time and then out of the...

    Help with sector shaft adjustment please

    Yep, the box has to come out. That's what I was afraid of :) Oh, well, will be another part I've never had off the Jeep before...not too many of those left LOL Thanks for the guidance.

    Help with sector shaft adjustment please

    Well, any of you have a friend that knows everything about everything, and generally screws stuff up more than he helps? Yah, we all have one of those. Anyway, I've been chasing a gremlin in the front end and dealt with all the usual suspects. Was looking to try adjusting the sector shaft and...

    Using an NSG370 6-speed out of a JK

    Yep, that is something each person would have to consider for their setups. For my type of use I think that the little taller first gear will be a big help on the forestry roads we frequent. With the 6 speed I am too slow in first and screaming going at the usual inclines on the roads...and in...

    Using an NSG370 6-speed out of a JK

    Hey TX...that is crazy timing you asking about this. Yes, my brand new AX15 plus install goodies will be in my hands tomorrow morning! My 6 speed is just the same as it was previously. Just the occasional difficulty getting it into reverse in 4LO...but I have got it down to a science now...

    Rough Country 1" body lift says it doesn't work with 05-06 6-speed TJs

    From a physical fit point of view, can't see why it wouldn't work. Only thing I can think of is that is their way of saying you might end up with shift problems on the nsg 370...which you probably will unless you modify/move the console.

    Time for a lift (I have researched and studied and want your point of view)

    Honestly, I would just leave it the way it is until you actually find you are hitting its limits. That and the fact it is so pretty, let your level of reluctance to bang it up guide you. The body on my jeep is mint, but the paint is far from it as I don't care about scratches. Lifts won't help...

    6-speed transmission making clunking noise

    Have you had the skid plate off recently? I know it sounds weird, but on mine if I lift the tranny to do so and then set it back down on the skidplate and tighten up the 4 nuts in that 'flexed' position, something feels off with the shifting. So I loosen the 4 nuts, go for a short 2 minute...

    New transmission, buy new or take a chance with used/rebuilt?

    I just ordered an ax-15 and bellhousing from advance shipped to canada and the shipping was only $165, which I thought was reasonable.

    Why does my dash window vent not have much hot air blowing out?

    Vacuum leak? I can't remember which position the system defaults to when a vacuum leak is present, but it is the same symptoms. Check for a vacuum leak in the engine bay. Especially if you have been working in there recently. On mine, I was working on the steering column and I accidentally...

    Flywheel Question

    LUK 484 should be the one you need. At least that's what Rockauto shows. Wish they would show images of the machined side then you could make sure it has the increased number of timing tabs. Edit: Rockauto also shows the Mopar number you mentioned and has a good picture.

    Front air shocks or other to keep TJ level with snowplow?

    It's not really lift with air bags...not like you are used to with hijackers which have lots of travel. The air bags fit inside the coil springs and limit the amount of compression with added resistance. You'll find them not so rough as air shocks and just as good with the load. That being...

    Front air shocks or other to keep TJ level with snowplow?

    Airlift is the company for the front air bags. Firestone doesn't make Ride Rite fronts. I too have a plow and have the Firestones on the rear and Airlifts on the front. If I had to do it again, I would use Airlifts over the Firestones anyday on the rear as well. Better thought out and much...
