Im having a dilemma? I see people posting used trannys on Craigslist, and need one bad. Seeing how I have no reverse.

My question is how difficult would it be, and what specialty tools will I need to rebuild my old tranny? So I guess in the hurry to type this here, I forgot to mention it is a manual, I think its the AX15. All other gears work fine.

Thanks for your time

Cheers Warren (PriusCrusher)

Could u elaborate on "the flange"....mines a high pinion. Is yours also?

Jack it up, turn the steering to full lock on both sides while rotating the tire. If that's it, you'll see it .

OK so there is definitely an electrical problem with my jeep. When I go to turn it on the check gauges light and e-brake light turn on plus the battery gauge goes to 10volts so I may need to goes a new CPS. I have no clue. Also the exhaust smells rich. I'm really hoping its not the computer

Those lights should come on when you Turn key. They go off when started. Sounds like a bad cps! Plus, charge your battery. It's probably low from trying to crank it.

I would charge the battery but the crappy Harbor Freight charger literally burned up. It started smoking

Boost from another car?

Swapped the ASD relay with another one like the aux fan?

All fuses good?

There are literally thousands of no start threads you can search for ideas in BTW.

Yes all fuses are good. I cheched the resistance on all fuel injectors, which was between 12.9-13.1 so the are good. I'll take the CPS off and take it to get exchanged. I left it cause I was getting mad. I'll look at it tomorrow

The ring and pinion don't look chewed, spin the wheels or rotors or hubs or whatever is left so you can see the spiders.

Is that a piece of a gear laying in the bottom of the housing?

The spider gear at the bottom makes it lock up better!
