drop the crossmember 1 inch and you good

trans_am7935 Dec 3, 2010 07:51 AM

so you have a 2 wheel drive jeep then. ok is your tranny an auto or a manual?

xjeepj Dec 3, 2010 11:18 AM

that with the wheels on the ground...i have a 31 procomps on there

and its a auto

what is the crossmember?

TheJerm Dec 3, 2010 11:23 AM

crossmember is the thing that holds your trans to both frame rails

Well if you where closer to MI i would give you my 2wd rear DS from a manual and that would fix it cause the manual trans is shorter than the auto. But if your not getting vibes from it and not wheeling it, id say you will be fine. I ran too short of a DS on the street and it didnt do anything.

section holding up your transmistion one side of the unibody "frame" rail to the other. If your kit came with a transfercase drop kit (tc drop) then that is what he is referring too.

will that work cause im having serious problems know with it switching gears?

xjeepj Dec 3, 2010 11:36 AM

im not doing any hardcore off roading..

I very rarely say this and other members who know me can vouch for this but...

Search, read, search, read THEN start working. Its extremely difficult to help someone who doesnt know the basics like what the crossmember is for example.

I dont mean to be an *** but we cant give directions to something when you dont know what the parts around what you're trying to fix is called.

Sorry.

xjeepj Dec 3, 2010 12:03 PM

ok i guess im going to try to drop the crossmember down..im going to go get the kit.

So your Jeep is 2wd, not 4x4? Are you in the DFW area? If so PM me, maybe I can be of assistance.
