93 auto tranny question
ok so here it is I have a 93 XJ and my front pump seal is leaking and I'm pretty handy whit a set of tools so I got the tranny loose (even the :censored: PITA reverse torque bolts at the top) and now my issue is the plugs and throttle cable on the trans. My question is how the hell do I get them off without damaging the wires or cable? I don't have the cashe to get a Hanes or Chilton manuel as I've already spent over $300 on the jeep this week alone. ANY sugestions would be great guys thanks

the kickdown cable (not throttle) stays with the transmission. Disconnect it up near the throttle body and feed it down. Otherwise the trans pan needs to be dropped.
The plugs, these should just be regular electrical connections that have a clip on somewhere that needs depressing to release. Take your time, you'll get it. |

It either has a pop on end to a ball on the bracket, or the end slides forward then off the bracket. Then depress the square clips on retainer bracket and feed the cable through.

It should be somewhere near the back of the bellhousing or top of transmission... they come apart. There is also the CPS bolted to the bellhousing by two bolts at the 11 o'clock position laying underneath that needs to come off. Wire clips together at end of the fuel rail.

got the trans out thanks for the imput

You bet..
On reinstall make sure that torque converter is all the way back to where you can barely get your fingers wrapped around the back side. |
Alright so I got the trans in and now my flywheel won't move so I can put the torque converter bolts in. Anybody have an idea of why? Hoping I don't have to take it back out as it was VERY aggrivating to put it in by myself

Dont torque the bellhousing bolts in too tight.
Grab a large screwdriver and place it along the backside of the block, you should be able to slowly and carefully rotate the flywheel by walking the ring gear around with screwdriver. There may be only one spot where all the bolts will line up on torque converter. Dont try to rotate the the crank by tightening on the harmonic balancer bolt, you'll strip it if your not careful. In a pinch you can remove all the plugs and rotate by using the serpentine belt. |
Matt82,
I'm impressed you got it off so quickly. I'm attempting the same next weekend for the first time. I just want to make sure on the top two E12 Torx bolts, you loosened them counter-clockwise, correct? I've got everything else off, the bolts are the last to go, then its into the basement. Thanks- |

aight guys i'm having trouble getting my trans to line up right. Seems like it's going together fine and seems like my converter is all the way in but I can't move the flywheel to put in the converter bolts?? Any sugestions as to what might be binding it up thanks

Pull it back, make sure that TC is all the way in.. this has frustrated many a Jeep owner. It should drop in 3-4 times before it's fully seated into the pump drive.
How many bolts are in the bellhousing? You may have too much pressure against the flywheel. Remove all but the largest at 3 and 6 o'clock positions. Gently tighten to pull them in, while checking that you can rotate the flywheel. I know it's frustrating.. but this is how you learn the "feel" for this kinda work. |
