    1997 TJ high RPMs and not shifting gears

    Warmed it up and the fluid was fine, I took it to a shop and they dropped the pan and there were gears in the bottom of the pan. He told me $650 and whatever parts he would need to replace. Didn't think that was a bad price. He wasn't going to rebuild the whole transmission, just replace the...

    1997 2.5 only getting 8 mpg

    My current gear ratio is 3.73. So if 33 X 3.73 / 29 = 4.25 Should get the gear that is closest to 4.25 also do I need to do the font and the back? I ordered my 02 sensor on Amazon yesterday, thanks for that.

    1997 2.5 only getting 8 mpg

    Not sure my gear ratio, I will have to check it out. It is 1997 Wrangler SE 2.5. It was stock until I purchased the jeep, we did the lift and tires. Also I will replace the up stream O2 sensor.

    Offset for Toyo 33x12.50 tires?

    The ones I am look at are below, the BS is 4.53. I'm not understanding back spacing, its not in the 3.75-4 range. What do you think? 17" x 9" 5x114.30 Offset -12 BS 4.53

    Offset for Toyo 33x12.50 tires?

    Having trouble find a rim size and offset? What is the recommended offset? I am see some -12 offset. Would -12 look good? 1997 TJ just starting the build, first Rough County 2.5 with Toyo 33.
