The one I'm gonna go look at is a 97 so it should have the external, so I need a new pressure plate and pilot bushing. Ty so much for all the help guys

For the swap: 73 Cj pilot bushing External slave Clutch kit 97 (maybe?)

Please correct me if I'm forgetting something. I need from the JY : Transmission case Bellhousing Transfer case Crossmember (trans support)

5 minutes on that website and I found a rebuilt 97 5 speed at a yard 8 miles from my house. Thanks a ton guys. Gonna go see how much they want soon

I was just looking into it more and on the website before shipping or any other parts its 1600 . So yeah whose got a used ax15 manual for sale

So currently I'm in the research phase (as well as saving lol), should I look for a used one or should I splurge and save for the brand spanking new one from Novak?

I'm very quickly becoming overwhelmed lol. Stuff like this scares the s**t out of me

Oh so I would have to hook up the transfer case just not hook up a driveshaft?

Also just found this like 20 minutes from me, is it correct?

So if I find a 4wd trans can I still use it and just not hook up the transfer case? And if there are adapters regardless of what length the input shafts are? Sorry I'm gonna have a billion questions 😂

I changed it less than 500 miles ago with redline. An ax15 from a 96+ cherokee right? I've never even taken a transmission out so I have almost no knowledge

My trains started popping out of 3rd today and it's been grinding a little bit in reverse since I bought it. Is it safe to assume the pukegoat is on its way out?

A better pic of the console

I also finally found some 2 door cherokee buckets that just happened to have the rocking chair feature and picked em up for 50 bucks. They were blue so, go Broncos! And I got a beautiful NOS console from RedMistress (thanks again!). With the new buckets and the console it is the comfiest vehicle I've ever driven

Wow it's been a while since I posted any updates. I got "new" 97+ mirrors, got rid of the leaky and latch-less vent mirrors (thanks Satirical Hen), and got new outer window seals from quadratec for like 8 bucks a piece.

Haha my son does the exact same thing! Once I figure out how to upload pictures correctly I'll post them. Sorry for not responding, I've been super busy with work and vacation. Once I get home today I'll re read all the posts and get back to you guys

I wish mine looked HALF as good

Hey guys sorry for the late responses, I left for vacation shortly after posting the pics. Pete, I uploaded them on my comp and can see them now on my phone, not sure if you guys can. If yall can't I'll try to take screenshots and upload. OldManComanche, I do not have Ac, the fan I was referring to when I checked was the fan driven by the belt. If it's a fan thing I'd love to upgrade, if it's a radiator thing, I'd love to upgrade lol. I was looking into an open cooling system but besides replacing the overflow bottle/cap I don't think it would help me.

So i need a new fan clutch, while I'm on the cooling system, is there any way to clean this up a bit? Most of these hoses are really old and the metal pieces are rusting. If i can replace worn out hoses AND clean my engine bay up a bit i would be a very happy camper (trying to add pics correctly)

I just checked the fan, it spins very easily with little/no resistence. Is this what's causing the high temperatures?

I'm sitting in her right now, shes running and warming up as usual. Is it also normal for my oil pressure gauge to read at 65 is until its warm? I think I'm just being paranoid, but I'm in too deep to stop now!

As soon as I start the truck my fan kicks on, I'm not sure how to check the fan clutch. I'm sure I'll have a thousand more questions about easy stuff lol

Sorry if I'm asking stupid questions, this is the first vehicle I've owned and I want to make sure its properly maintained. I don't have a ton of experience with vehicle care (apart from easy stuff like brakes, fluids, interior stuff etc.) so I want to be 100% sure that everything is in good shape.

Do you think it could be the radiator fan? Ive already drained and re filled the radiator with fresh coolant, it has a few little rust spots on it, not sure if that matters. I can take pics if it helps at all
