Guys,
My return to TJ land is moving forward. I have found an 05. 145,000 miles
Pix will be added when I can get them off my phone.
The Good:
No rust I can find. None on the frame, none on the tub, none at all.
5 almost new tires on 17" aluminum rims
It's Electric Lime Green. For me, that is good, others, not so much
Runs strong (for a 2.4)
6 speed
Clean interior, new seat covers.
The normal:
Runs, starts, stops. Radio, a/c & 4wd works as it should.
The bad:
4 cylinder. While the 2.4 goes a little faster than the 2.5, it's still kinda slow.
The transmission pops out of first gear with alarming regularity. If I hold pressure on the shifter, it pops out of first less often, but it still tries to.
Front pinion seal leaks. R&R the seal.
the P0216 code shows up every so often and the current owners have everything they can think of to fix it, to no avail.
The rear of the engine of coated with oil, as if the front of the bell housing. Rear main?
The clutch makes noise ( rattley, solid sound, not a hollow rattle) that went away with the clutch pedal held to the floor.
I am asking for suggestions on what could be wrong and how to fix it.
Also asking for an approximate value.
Many thanks,
KenR955
