hello CF users! Let me start out by saying I literally blew a hole in my transmission/tcase in my 1991 cherokee and now im in the process of removing both of them. The tcase came out without a problem but the tranny i thought i'd ask for some advice on removing it. I dont know how i'd start removing it (besides removing the bolts). just looking for some helpful pointers to make this as easy as possible. check the pics/video! Thanks!!

 

holy crap dude, i've never even seen buggys explode a 231 that bad. What did you do!?!?

As far as the transmission, it's pretty straightforward, except for the top two bolts. In jeep's infinite wisdom they made the top 2 bolts reverse torx bolts (size E12). so be prepared with the socket and some extensions.

 

what ever he did he did it real good lol

 

I dont know how i managed to blow it up.... I take very very good care of my baby girl!! I just changed the transmission filter and gave it new oil(didnt over fill it)!! No symptoms no grinds no shakes was shifting perfect with no hesitation.... than BOOOOOOM!!!! it just exploded going down the highway one foggy morning.


reverse torx bolts?? do i need a certain tool to remove the 2 bolts?


and does anyone know the torque specs for the transmission bolts??

 

a 12 point socket will work can remembewr the size

 

thanks! im stoked to get my jeep up and running again... need it before summer thats for sure lol
