Sounds like i just need to take the rear cover off. It hasent leaked a drip, so ive just let it ride so far.

The tire rub the control arm just alittle when fully flexed and turning. The spring rub is what concerns me.

My 89 mj (i belive) has the cad dana 30(upgraded to cromely shafts and spartan locker, deleated cad) and I have a dana 35 in the rear. 1st question, is the cad dana 30 wider than the dana 35? Ive been trying to center my front axle and it seems like my front end is about 2 in wider than the rear. ( also my coil rubs on driver side even after centering, any tips to avoid that? Its the trackbar mount that it rubs on.) 2nd question, when I lift my rear and rotate one wheel, the other wheel rotates backwards. That indicates open differential, but everytime I spin tires both rear tires spin, on asphalt and offroad, is it possible it has the limited slip in the rear? Did comanche even offer lsd? (I havent poped the rear face off yet)

That was it! I didnt notice it when I dropped it, I pulled it out of the connector up top!

I'm stuck guys. I got my clutch changed, and bolted back up. My truck turns but won't start. Ive got 3 pairs of loose end wires. & for the life of me can't figure out where they go or why it won't start. I could only get bad pics but hope they help. The connectors crumbled away so they are just lose ends. Any help would be awesome. One wire seems to be clipped to the driver side top of tranny and the other I'm assuming is the speed sensor on the passenger side?

I think my slave and throwout are one part. I'm definitely replacing it, that is what I belive failed on me. When messing with thr flywheel, would you resurface it or even take it off if it looks good? Can I do it at home, or is it definitely a shop thing?

So I want yalls personal advice, my slave cylinder went out on me, ive replaced the hydraulic line and master cylinder previously. I bought a new stage 1 clutch kit(did not come with flywheel). Ive got the transmission sitting on a jack under my truck and that clutch plate looks daunting. Ive never been inside a tranny before and in my personal opinion the clutch disc looks great. Ive heard yes and no on replacing the actual clutch. It operated perfectly previously. It was alot of work to get it out & really don't want to do it again, but at the same time how much could go wrong? Do new clutches have fitting issues? Is the flywheel necessary to resurface? Should I get a new flywheel and go ahead and do the rear main seal while I have it all out? Also if I decide to go through with the whole process, the stage 1 clutch plate sticks out almost 1 inch farther(the circle of forks, not sure exactly what its called.) Is that normal? Are my previous "forks" worn? I know that was alot of questions and I ran on, but I'm a bit nervous over this whole process. I'm a learn as you go backyard mechanic so all this is new to me, but I do have a decent amount of experience. I have already put the slave in, is there a bearing behind it that I overlooked? The kit came with 2 roller bearing, one about nickel sized one about quarter sized. Thank yall so much, I can take more/better pics if needed.

It definitely rubs the control arm on very tight turns. & I did something similar to the wd 40, I cleaned and respray painted most of my underside & after wheeling i noticed my passenger spring rubs the tire rod mount alittle when flexing.

Yes! Ive made it rain blood too many time on her, this time its the manche's turn! & that's a interesting noise! Do you have the old c.a.d. axle?

Fair enough! Ive tinkered out alot of the noise, I've kinda leaned to the allways noisey side. She performs like a charm tho!

I did re do both my front hubs recently and has taken 50%of the noise out, I think I didnt torque the hub bolts in properly last time and cause premature wear(small noise).

Sorry bud! I thought this was my locker post! It's early! & no my offroad noise doesn't come from turning, mainly on very rough rocky trail, anytime I have to bump it, sounds like she is creaking and not crunching(but similar noise) I'm pretty mechanically inclined so I've checked all the main stuff and repaired tons of stuff.

Yes only time I ever hear it anymore is very very tight right (max out steering), moderate and very tight lefts. (75%-100% steer) The first 2 weeks everytime you touch th3 steering wheel its going to feel like you just shot your tranny!

So I want to see how others mjs sound offroad! I replaced most of the front end, rebuilt front axle, new brakes, new bushings/ball joints, new bushing on all shocks. I get alot of creeking, alittle knocking(not engine) and squeaks when I'm on really rocky areas. I can't seem to place the noise. Ive done some pretty heavy stuff in my truck, been through all trails in uwharrie(except frontside of daniels) & some recently went on a 800mile heavy offroad trip through west virginia. It operates beautifully, just so much racket! Any tips or advice? Are mjs just noisey offroad and I need to put better speakers in to drown it out?

This is one of the cleanest bays I've ever seen in any car, definitely the cleanest jeep!!! It looks brand new! How many miles?
