We made a trip down to Coal Creek first weekend of November. We usually go once or twice a year.

I just bought the parts to do this. The booster did not come with the spacer so I will have to make one. Is it 1/4" thick? Also, the rod on the booster is already flat on the end. Will this need to be trimmed down? Thanks Ryan

Put the new sensor in and it started right up. The idle was much better also. When I did the swap I thought this only controled the light on the dash. Lesson learned! Thanks for the feedback. Ryan

I'm going to buy a new one tomorrow and give it a try. I will let you know how it works out. Thanks for the help.

I have disconnected my temperature sensor and install an aftermarket gauge. I read that the sensor sends informaion to the CPU during start up. Does anyone know if this is true. I have new plugs, wires, ect. It is very hard to start, dies after a few seconds and is sluggish when it will idle. Once the engine has a small amount of heat it runs like a champ. Any help? Thanks Ryan 1991 4.0L with auto trans.

This is me and the wife stuck at Patty's Bluff (now closed) This is the cleanest pic I have of my manche. We are located in Western Kenucky 1991 4.0 automatic locked front and rear 33's

You were right on. I took the spring and ball out and got it to shift out of reverse. It was shifting great into 1st, 2nd, and 3rd but would not go into 4th. Now the pos is stuck in 5th. Going to take it apart soon. Thanks for all the tips and support. I will let you guys know how it turns out. Always open to any other suggestions. Thanks

Thanks Pete. I found some threads on this and it sounds like it may not be worth it. It would be better to try to fix the current trans or find a direct replacement.

Did it happen when you took that picture next to your name? When I remove the carpet will there be excessive heat from the transmission hump area?

yea its been over a week and it seems as wet as the day i got hung up in that hole.

Thanks for the tip. Maybe I can get over there this weekend and try that. I'm intrested in the pdf if your able to find it. We located an automatic transmission out of a 90' xj. Any body know what would be involved in replacing the manual with the automatic?

Thanks for the help. I guess we can take it apart. We can't hurt it, right!

I would love to kick this thing. I was pulling on the lever so hard I thought it was going to snap. Can I use the 2wd transmission?
