    1992 XJ 2wd to 4wd transmission won't shift

    If you pull the fuse or unplug the trans computer, can you shift manually with the shifter? If not, then you're looking at a mechanical problem. If it does then it's electrical. Three possibilities here. 1. TPS is bad and telling the trans computer it's floored. This is easily tested with a...

    How to Confirm Suspected NSS Problem?

    Lookup the Bleepin Jeep NSS videos. He does a pretty good job showing how to remove and refurbish the NSS. Hardest part is getting it off. Note the back is plastic, so don't jam a bar under it and pry as you will break it.

    Please Check my Axel Shafts..What do you think?

    It's an improvement because it's only pushing one cap at a time, even though it's still applying a spreading force to the ears.

    Please Check my Axel Shafts..What do you think?

    Here's my technique: I have a piece of u-channel that I stick underneath, supporting the sides of the ujoint cross. Then I stick a big socket on the top and press on that. This forces u-joint upwards, and the upper cap pushes out into the socket on top. That way, you're only pushing one cap...

    Please Check my Axel Shafts..What do you think?

    The ears look bent to me. Usually caused by the poor technique everyone uses to press them out. Pressing on the upper ear, causing it to bend if the cap is stuck. Besides the grinder and the hatchet, did you use a press or a sledge hammer?

    No reverse AW4

    Correct, solenoids are not involved with reverse.

    Manual Transmission conversion between years

    Oh yes, the pilot bearing changed along the way too. I was referring to the change from internal to external slave, which a lot of people swap when the internal fails (again). The bearing retainer on the face of the transmission changed in 93/94. See pic here -...

    Manual Transmission conversion between years

    There was a change from the internal to external slave in 1994.

    High temp woes

    Be real careful with compressed air and the heater core. That's a great way to cause a leak that's a bitch to fix.

    1990 renix electrical issues

    Yes, they could be partially burnt. Try jumpering past them and see if that helps. If you have a meter, start measuring voltage at various points back to the battery ground. The wierdness with things partially working make me suspect you have a bad ground from the engine or chassis to the...

    Air box

    I'm about 75% sure the answer is yes it will fit, but there was a small difference in connection on the lid where the crank case vent line attached. Nothing that could not be worked around.

    Swapping a 2wd AW4 out of a 2000 xj into a 2wd xj from 1996

    I'm assuming you swapped the rotor and as well. As I recall the older sensor was longer bottomed out when I did my swap. I ended up using the 98 sensor and making the electronic converter mentioned in the everything aw4 thread.

    Transmission Not Shifting Past First Gear

    Measuring the solenoids resistance would be my next step, suspecting a bad #2 solenoid. I would also inspect the wiring down to the transmission for damage, including the wire that runs to the rear for the output speed sensor. Crank the shifter back and forth a few times as it could be a dirty...

    Fuel pump will not prime

    You are aware that it will prime at key-on and then shutoff the fuel pump after a few seconds if it's not seeing rpm? I just want to make sure you're not chasing your tail thinking it should be powered anytime the ignition is on. Do you have voltage at the ballast resistor? Have you tried...
