im pretty new to xj's, & i have a few Q?'s..

1. im not sure what this is?..lol but im guessing maybe a vacum lines of some kind? what is it? & what dose it do?




thank you. sorry for the crappy phone pics & if i sound retarded..

 

Just today I pulled the engine/tranny/t-case from an XJ. This one has the NP 231. There are no similarities with mine and the picture you have. What is transmission and t-case are we looking at here??

I can't really make out picture two. I'm guessing you're instauling new guts to a rig. If so, most linkage 'pops' into place using plastic gromits. There will be a pivot mount connected to the vehicle itsself, in which the rods rotate within. It's hard to explain as it is.. could you be a little more specific with your question?

A new rubber tcase mount deal??? The transmission should be supported by a skid/mount plate ..t-case should just be sitting there without any additional mounting (unless I'm way off and misunderstood what your're asking).

 

Thats the vacum switsh that tells the dash light to come on.

Spray some lube on the plastic, and apply a lot of pressure to pop the linkage back in.

 

i got the linkage on no problem, & how hard is it to put a new vacum switsh on, or can i get away with fixing that one?...do i even need it to be hooked up?

 

the tcase is a 231 amc & a AW-4 tranny. 4wd still isnt working, what esle should i try? thanks
