Gonna take that POS Puegot tranny and get an AX15? The one in mine is completely grenaded, so its the perfect time for me to swap.

Its alive!!!!
slipped the trans into first gear with a screwdriver because I took out the gear selector in first and It wouldnt fit.. Adjusted the transfercase linkage, bled the clutch some more.. And I took my first drive. Needs a lil more bleeding, but it works great. Need to run my vacuum lines for the 4wd actuation, but shes gonna get a shake down this week!
I may have to get a set of xj stock springs. This bull**** wrangler type lift setup isint tall enough for 32s. Rubs like a mother ****er at nearly halfway to lock.
