ok so my check engine light is on, its a neutral safety switch which is on the transmission, i am gettin another trasmission with the part on it. has anyone ever had to change this part? its a sensor and it messes up the changing of gears sometimes. also do you think if i put a 4" lift on i would get vibes and need a tcase drop??

 

never had to do a NSS but most people say if you clean it and put it back on it works fine 9 out of 10 times. and all '99s i know needed a TC drop at anything above 3" lift.

 

for the t case drop.. each rig is diffrent. you may not get vibs at 4 when a friend may get them at 3. but most likly yes.

 

when taking the NSS out is there any fluid that comes out? would i be able to do this without a garage?

 

First try to adjust the shift cable and the NSS. This is the easiest to do. I had to adjust both on mine before it was right.

this helped out so much, thank you, i dont kno how you found it because i had been looking for awhile

 

I have a 1999 cherokee as well, Just my thoughts but I would say you will need a t-case drop for sure on a 4". I am running a 4.5" but installed the SYE and CV driveshaft. If you just going to do the T-case drop- I would just install the lift and drive it a bit to see if there are vibrations and if so, then do the t-case drop. Most likely you will need it. But dont wait too long to put it in- have heard many times that after a while of the vibration the trans mount gets pretty worn down quick.

Good luck

 

i was gonna put in the four inch lift and tcase drop at the same time so nothing would happen

 

Go-Jeep is generally referred to as "The Man" in the XJ world. Bookmark his page and read it often.

 

Yea- put in the T-case drop with the 4" kit at the same time. I was not sure in my earlier post if you had the drop kit already or not.

 

nope not yet, im gonna go with a RE tcase drop for thirty bucks, the lift will consist of 3 inch coils with a 3/4 inch spacer for front then a bastard pack in the rear with a one inch shackle, it should be interesting. any comments or concerns for this?

 

What kind of leaves will you add to the rear?

 

right now it has an RE aal, so i will add some other leaves im getting from a guy i hope, his pack has a aal and shackle, so i can add a shackle for the extra inch i need but i might add both to be on the safe side.
