no. open it up (it's 3 or 4 bolts), pull out the shifter and base together, then pour in 1 quart. There's nothing really to mess up. :thumbsup: If you're just low on oil, your should see a noticeable improvement. had to do that to my peugeot every once in a while.

if there's no console, then you're half way there already. :D

snow tires man. I just got my first set ever and I will forever swear by them. :yes:

by removing the shifter handle base. start disassembling the center console area and it should be pretty straightforward. :thumbsup:

both will work. if you don't need awd for anything, then just get the 231. :thumbsup:

it probably needs under $10 in oil. and you can fill it from the comfort of the cab. :thumbsup: I would dump in a quart and see what happens.

what are you looking for?

I don't know of a way to do it with phpbb.

um, got another? I can't seem to find the brand of forum software they're using. :dunno: Is it vBulletin? We use phpbb and there are plenty of things we can't do that the bigger, more pricey forum softwares will.

definitely not Jeep. but it might work for ya. test fit it before buying. some are taller than others.

I cannot remember the last time I used a parking brake in anything. :dunno: unless you count doing donuts in the Neon that one day. :clapping: I got the tube from Lowes. They had a selection of different spacers.

can you give me a link to a forum that does that?

you will be pushing the limits of what you've got. If you do it, don't go fast. ever. and leave lots of distance between you and what ever is in front of you. basically, drive it like you're a danger to society, cause you very well may be. :thumbsup:

it's that way on purpose. :D simpler is better. (it's just a side benefit that it's cheaper too)

the book is wrong unless it says GL-3. There's some debate as to whether it as oiginally a typo, or Chrysler just plain got it wrong. Chrysler recently changed the requirement to the motor oil (I believe there are some aftermarket gear oil synthetics that still qualify). GL-5 will eat the synchros in an AX-15. of this there is no doubt. :thumbsup:

really? I read AX-15 last someone posted it. you wouldn't by chance have a link would ya?

gotta shrink the file size then. but an easier way is to email me the full image and I'll take care of the rest. :thumbsup: comancheclub@hotmail.com

you're thinking of the AX-15. plain ol' GL-5 is still recommended for the AX-4 and AX-5. :thumbsup:

might just need the linkage adjusted. how rotted is the body in the shifter area?

doesn't really matter. It's all good. be sure to measure how much comes out so you'll know if it was low or not. :thumbsup: and keep an eye out for metal bits in the oil.

don't need one. I've got a manual trans. :D and this is my parking brake:

Explorers are 5 on 4.5 so don't bother with that. also, you will have a 31 spline big bearing. no need to wonder. the big question is roller bearings or tapered bearings, but that only matters if you're replacing the bearings or seals (which are integral with the bearings and the bearings are press-on and have to be done by a shop) I believe the guy that did mine used CJ front rotors and chevy cailpers, but not sure. here's a couple links for 9" disk conversions. http://fordfuelinjection.com/bronco/brakes.html http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=229934 The rotors I have didn't fit perfect though. see the slop around each lug? the previous owner did nothing about it, but I couldn't accept it. So I went to the hardware store, found some small spacers (essentially a short tube with a specific inner and outer diameter) and sliced them to length so they fit around each lug. does a great job of keeping the rotor aligned and centered. :thumbsup:

you're thinking of the AX-15. the AX-4 takes plain ol' gear oil. check to make sure your fluid is up to snuff. my peugeot had a nasty habit of leaking out the back and it would act up when low.

the more cylinders you have, then less likely it'll ever struggle at the low rpms. You'll have twice as many cylinders. It'll be fine. :thumbsup: I'm just saying, don't spend any time or money on a 35. that's all. :cheers:

gearing is what you need to go faster. :thumbsup: do you know what gear ratio is in your axle now? 4spd or 5spd transmission?
