heres the pics of what i ripped a little and what was holding the pan in place or rather giving resistance. sorry been gone all day long so got nothing done today. you can see on the close up the bottom of it is torn. it feels like just a little foam gasket probably just to keep oil from leaking into the bell housing im assuming.

 

i just finished my long pain in the a$$ project of a rc 4.5 lift on a 96 xj. i test drove it for the first time tonight and found a MAJOR problem. or so i think it is. the stearing wheel, is no longer straight but almost a 1/4 turn to the right. and i have about a 1/2 turn worth of play in it now.
has any one ever used those PS2 stearing wheels? where you turn it about a 1/4 turn and it does nothing and like 1/8 of a turn more and its full turn radius?.. its almost like that.
would anyone know how to fix this?

 

Thread win!

 

Did you do the alignment or have it done after the lift?

 

no allignment yet its comeing soon. but i wasnt sure if it was really supposed to drive that way after a lift untill the allignment. i expected minor changes at most but this thing is just way to far off.

 

you could change the tcase out pretty easilly but you have the vacuum lock front end and I'm not sure how that would all workout. the electric plug in the two tcases are going to be different too but i'm sure some of these guys have done it so they might can give you a better idea of what it would take but yea a tcase is usually cheaper than an automatic trans

 

Ah Ok.. Well I def need a Transfer case.. I was told it was the Trans but I'll post a picture up soon, there is like a 4inch by 4 inch hole in the side of the transfer case.

The Trans might still be good actually.. I may just swap them both out.

Id like to upgrade them but I do not know enough to do so, I'll prolly stick with what belongs there...

 

i really want to get more power in my jeep somehow. is there any ways to tweak something already existing in my 89 jeep cherokee limited, or do i have to buy something?and if so,what should i buy and from where

 

Anybody know how i can get the color back in the rubber around my windshield?

 

Just go with the 21spline renix stuff, unless you can find the 23 spline cheaper. Ive never heard of a 21spline tcase/trans breaking...

 

I only know of 1 that has broke but it was seriously abused

 

I have a homemade "CAI" and 19# mustang injectors (the orange kind) and I have a noticeable power differance. I don't know exactly how much of a HP difference it made but I can feel the difference.

 

Did you put the pitman arm the exact same way you took it off? Sounds to me like you put it on 1/4 turn wrong. There's 4 master splines on the pitman arm and on the steering box shaft, So it's easy to get it off by a 1/4.

 

i think they sell some black restore stuff at the store you can use. good for restoring black to tires and faded plastic. i dunno if this would work or not, never used it.
