    Replacing np242 tc shift fork pads 89 XJ

    Replacing the pads are easy, just a little more work than changing the chain. A guy on utube has a video series for rebuilding a Dodge Dakota TC. Got all 6 pads for $10 shipped Morris 4x4.

    Replacing np242 tc shift fork pads 89 XJ

    Replacing np242 tc shift pads - how hard is it in the Jeep? Any directions or special tools needed? Can I slide the forks over and dlip in the pads? I have replaced the chain before, I know it needs pads.

    After a trip to a machine shop, after a loooong conversation with the owner, I might be able to have a flywheel for a stock 5 speed made for a fairly reasonable - NOT $1000+++ Should have torque converter bolted up to the engine this week.

    Mercedes diesel in a XJ project- the adapter

    The adapter is for Mercedes 617 5 cylinder and 616 4 cylinder engines, not the 603 6 cyl. I only have one half decent picture before it started storming here the rest are too dark. http://s639.photobucket.com/albums/uu111/badgator/

    My poor XJ's tranny died

    If your sister needs a ride, drive her. Or marry her off. If you're drunk at a bar, take a taxi home, or Call your new brother in law. Some people just shouldn't drive. Sounds harsh but...

    Mercedes diesel in a XJ project- the adapter

    Well I am almost done with my adapter to install my Mercedes 3.0 5 cylinder diesel in my Cherokee, looking for a MJ. I have bolt pattern clocked for both XJ or YJ / TJ / or Toyota (using a AW4 bellhousing), but I can't check fit on the YJ, maybe later this year, maybe Toyota first...

    Won't start ONLY when it's Raining

    Go to Autozone have them pull your codes for free ASAP when it's running. (Again) Could be TPS, Crank sensor, bad grounds, wet distributor, all pretty cheap / easy to fix yourself. Does it have spark when it doesn't start? Does fuel pump turn on? Any fuel pressure?
