I bought this TC back in Jan. Finally got around to trying to install it. When I bought the TC I wasn't aware about input spline counts. Thanks to this forum I'm now aware that I now have a TC that doesn't fit. :wall: My choices to fix this problem are, buy another TC, or change input gears on the one I got. I chose to do the later. So when I split the case this is what I found I took apart the rest of the TC apart to get the input gear out, and try to find what and where these parts belong Think they go here, I'm pretty sure I only need one of these springs. Made sure there is one of them in there when I put the little metal piece back where it belongs. How about this Do I need a new chain and do I have to change sprockets on it like I have to do on my bike ? :dunno: Anyway, here's my input gear I think it is a short length narrow bearing, late gear cut ? As defined by this tag ? Does this tag mean the TC was made in 1996 ?

:agree:

Woke up this morn. thinking about My New Toy. Realized that it wasn't so new anymore so I decided to rename her Mary Jane, MJ get it? LOL. It's kind of a tribute to the acronym MJ and pays a little homage back to my 420 days. No longer touch the stuff, as life and reality of being a responsible adult and parent don't allow it any more. :typing:

Progress: Picts of my Band, 87 Comanche, 85 Cherokee-parts, 89 Cherokee-parts Picked up this Roll Bar a few weeks ago at the Rez-Yard for 30$ With 3 front hoops it looked way too wide. It also had clearance problems with the fuel filler area in the bed of the truck. Made good use of my new HF portable bandsaw, and a cutting wheel. Removed 1st hoop and shortened floor mounts. Me and my best helping hand installing it. She'll do anything to help on the truck cause she knows she will get to drive it when it's done. Installed,looking good! Still have to put mounting bolts in, these will come at a later date. I got the bar in the truck so I could keep up with housekeeping. BTW I have no idea what truck this bar originally came from as it was pulled out of an old nissan or toyota. It was kind of cobbled in place, I only had to pull 2 bolts from each side to get it out. Then I moved on to the real stuff. Pulled the BA-10 today,HF tranny jack was worth every cent spent on it. AX-15 231 install next.

Every single 2057 bulb on my truck twisted apart when I tried to clean the socket. I was dealing with similar issues. As for the turn indicator, mine was the r/side but did the same thing.The other thing that was going on with my truck was that the dash lights wouldn't come on till I turned the headlight switch to the interior lights position. When I changed the headlight switch the problems went away. I also inspected the front turn signal sockets,replaced them with ones out of my donor XJ. The ones in our MJ's are notorious for corrosion and failure. Check out my thread, it shows how I fixed all these issues. viewtopic.php?f=7&t=13953

Am I correct in thinking that my harmonic balancer is bad if it is hitting the timing cover on this It's an 89 with a 4.0 Tried to take picts You can barely see where the balancer is hitting the cover in this pic. Or is it possible that it has other problems. Is there a possibility of,I think I read about in another post, thrust bearing ? problems. The rubbing hasn't gone all the way through the timing cover (I know it's toast), and there isn't any oil coming from the rear main seal.

Ya,it's a steal/deal. But it has a few issues,which is why it's getting junked. No title (could be had,if I really pursued it,time and money). No D-shaft, rear pinion yoke gone :dunno: ,Harmonic balancer is hitting timing cover (Have a WTB in the classifieds,hint hint). Or I'll just steal the one off of the MJ when I switch motors. :chillin:

Just bought this home last weekend 140k runs 175$ 89XJ 4.0, BA-10, 231tc, Tilt, Air, Cruise,Intermittent Wipers, d30&35. Most of this stuff will go into the MJ except for the BA-10, 231tc,f&r axels.

This is a pic of an 89 XJ I just got On the 87 MJ I put a screw in this The small rubber plug that comes out of the TB - carries vacuum to the MAP sensor.On the top seems that it is open Is it missing a vacuum line? does it need/or is it supposed to be plugged?

Intermittent wipers are in my future/or were, for the MJ. seriously though, isn't that swap a plug and play if you got all the parts? And on another note, you guys wrench like me......scary! :shake:

I'm interested as well. Just got this 89, plan to swap out it's AC, tilt, cruise,intermittent wipers. Even got a better 4.0 than the one that is currently in the MJ. Don't plan on any of this too soon as the MJ is still undergoing its 4x4 conversion. If I do get around to it soon (Sometime this year) I'll make sure I take lots of photos.Hopefully somebody has info on this. Oh Yeah...... got the XJ for 175$ :banana:

Where/how did you cut your carpet? Got any Picts? :typing:

JB Weld,then drilled a 1/8" pilot before I installed the sheet metal screw.

Check this out, just repaired my bezel last week.look near the bottom of the page. viewtopic.php?f=7&t=13953

Fixed the stripped screw holes. Sorry about the poor pic quality. Drill Fill and drill The headlight bezels were in poor shape, so I cut the top and bottoms off with my Dremmel. Gave them a coat of flat black,then installed. Can't really tell they were trimmed up. Extra grill off of the XJ (silver trim) Old grill Liked the silver one better so that is the one I installed. So the front end is all back together,everything working. :banana: Next I moved back into the cab to finish putting the dash back together. It really bothers the heck out of me to see something that has been cobbled or put together back-@$$ wards. The PO put these in, because the screw holes that held the lower dash panel on the right side were stripped out. They just sunk the screws in till they hit I don't know what.Actually I think that they were mostly stripped out also. Stripped out holes In the top 2 pics you can barely see where the long screws were sunk in below the broke stripped out stock holes. I fixed it by riveting some 18ga galvanized tabs to the metal support below the holes. Then I took out all the old rivets from the lower dash panel,put new rivets in (with backing plates) By this time Mojo was getting tired of making sure I was doing a good job, But as any best friend would do he stuck in there till the job was done. Now I put the lower panel in place, predrilled holes in the 18ga, installed all the fasteners. Installed the dash bezel. Now I can move on to better and more exciting things! My tranny jack was delivered today http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/d ... mber=39178 So now I can move onto my 4x4 conversion. Just wanted to say that I did the engine tune-up, mechanical maintenance, basic electrical fixes, before I started on my conversion. I didn't want a truck that I had to fix the basics before I could drive it after the conversion .If you get what I mean. Anyways..... :clapping: peace

SE Mont, Colstrip. It's about 20 MI from the Rez. (Lame Deer,N.Cheyenne tribe) I is a goot tribal enrolled member enit ?.........LOL :waving:

Anybody from around SE Mont. W ND or W SD or NE Wyo? Yeah, I'm pretty far out here in the sticks, beautiful country,Montana is though!

:huh???: Auto or manual?

Make sure your speedo cable is the same,where it hooks up in the back of the cluster.If it isn't,be sure to grab the speedo cable from the vehicle that you got the cluster off of. A good example is in my thread of my build. I just finished this swap last weekend. viewtopic.php?f=7&t=13953

Is this what you are talking about? http://www.stu-offroad.com/axle/drivesh ... haft-5.htm

Had some nice days got a few things done on the Jeep. I got the engine up and running correctly. Now I started on the other "issues" before a start on the 4x4 conversion. First off, I didn't have any front running lights. The dash lights only came on when I turned the knob to turn on the interior lights.The right turn indicator would light up when I pulled the light switch out to the park position. I knew I would be into the dash on this repair,so while all of this was going on I converted the gauges to a full cluster. The two problems I had with this was the speedo hook-up,and the harness plug in the back of the cluster wasn't seating all the way causing the fuel gauge to not work properly. Old set up: new set up: I fixed this by swapping the complete speedo cable from the donor XJ (I was lucky as this wasn't the vehicle that I pulled the cluster from). I widened the plug opening next to the speedo input cable with a utility knife to allow the plug to fully seat in the socket. I also put a little more "spring" on the contacts (bent them out a little) for good measure. You can see the socket in question to the right of the speedo input in this pic. Actually this is the old cluster,but same difference. Next I started on the lights, first place I checked was the rear ground under the left taillight. It wasn't even hooked up! Repaired that then put new bulbs in the rear.after testing they all worked well. Then I pulled the headlight switch off of the XJ, see if it would help with my dash light problem.Problem solved there. I still had a turn indicator light coming on with the park lights so I moved forward to the front of the truck. I had one park light that worked on one side and a turn sig light that worked on the other. After testing with my test light I found I had one dead contact in each socket. Pics of old sockets: Pulled the sockets off of the XJ Tomorrow I have to fix two of these: Kind of a bad pic, its of a broke off corroded screw. I think Ill drill beside it maybe a couple of places,so I can get the old screw out. Then Ill drill oversize,fill with JB Weld,drill again then install the bezels. All thats left on this project is to fix the two screws then get it all buttoned up!

Done the floor jack, chest drop,2x6 seesaw.....first time I'm doing anything with a TC. So I went ahead and ordered the HF tranny jack for 57$ (Buyers club deal or something like that). I have to pull a AX-5 207 combo from my donor vehicle, install an AX-15 231 combo into the MJ. Figure a tranny jack would be a good investment. I'll do the chest drop thing to get the BA-10 out of the MJ if the jack doesn't get here before I get started on pulling the tranny. Anyway.....thanks for the input, steering me away from the floor jack adapter thing. :cheers:

Just couldn't help but to comment again,one of those "cute and sweet" little dogs would shore look funny riding around in the back of my MJ.......Not going to happen! A pickup truck needs a pickup truck kind of dog. Heelers Rule!

First things first, What is DSM ? :hmm: Second, I thought the video was cool, I'd probably agree that there is a cyl leakage problem. I also bought one of those HF gauges ( haven't used it yet),didn't know they had "issues".Anyways,this is what I found http://www.ask.com/bar?q=how+to+use+a+l ... tester.htm IMHO Makes sense to me. BTW I'd definitely replace that timing chain.
