SuperWade2 Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Getting conflicting #'s from different charts on different sites... 31" Tires -> 4.10 Gears I got a long shaft 37 tooth for about $15, didn't see 36's readily available... Does it matter...will they be "close enough"? Wade
JeepcoMJ Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 I'm pretty sure I have a 37 tooth...I'll look. return favor :D
SuperWade2 Posted February 25, 2009 Author Posted February 25, 2009 I'm pretty sure I have a 37 tooth...I'll look. return favor :D i got a 37 already....was just making sure its the right one

HOrnbrod Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 I used the 37 long shaft gear (31's w. 4.11) and it's real close. :D

RandysMJ Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Not to hijack your thread. But does anyone know where i can get a long shaft 39 tooth? I work at a Jeep dealer and my cost is over $50. I know somebody has to have them cheaper.

I work at a Jeep dealer and my cost is over $50. I know somebody has to have them cheaper. Chrysler jacked the price on them about 6-7 months ago. They used to be like $20, now they are over $80. $50 is a good price to be honest with ya and I doubt you'll find it cheaper. If you do you've most likely found someone who's not aware of the price raise...

SuperWade2 Posted February 26, 2009 Author Posted February 26, 2009 Where is the "mark" on the T-Case that i'm supposed to be matching the side of the cable housing too? I see the Numbers on the end of platic ring on the Speedo cable, bit can't see anything on the t-case...

I see the Numbers on the end of platic ring on the Speedo cable, bit can't see anything on the t-case... ???? As I recall there are only notches on my tcase at 3,6,9, and 12 O'clock and the adapter plate for the speedo housing that can be aligned to the notches has the tooth count in four sectors corresponding to the notches. I didn't notice any teeth numbers on my housing because it was rusted, I got another one from the JY and it had the numbers.

So if I installed it correctly, the Tach us also affected, correct... On the way to work today, I have Tach, but no Speedo...maybe it popped out of the back of the Speedo @ the Dash (clip isn't the most secure) when I was yanking on the speedo cable.
SuperWade2 Posted February 26, 2009 Author Posted February 26, 2009 MY TCase housing doesn't look quite like that... I have the cast section right below the Speedo Gear Hole where the vaccuum lines run in...

My tach worked without the speedo. If you do not allign the tab over the correct tooth count like I did I got "bouncing speedo". I would then move the tab another 45 degrees to the next tab and try driving again. I did this 2 times until I got the speedo working. I eventually bought a new housing with the numbers on it.

I got full tach and ZERO Speedo (no bouncing). I'll check the Cable up top first and if it's in good, then I'll pop the housing off again... I can read the #'s on the housing, I just didn't don't see anything to align them too...

SW, There should be numbers representing teeth ranges in 3 areas E.G 17-24, 25-36, 37-42. This is why you rotate the housing to the red arrow Motion Offroad supplied to match your tooth count.
SuperWade2 Posted February 28, 2009 Author Posted February 28, 2009 OK, here is what I'm looking at... can someone tell me where this "imaginary" line that I'm supposed to align this thing too?
jeepdoggydogB Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 OK, here is what I'm looking at... can someone tell me where this "imaginary" line that I'm supposed to align this thing too? Mine sits 90 degrees counter-clockwise from the position in your third picture.

Mine sits 90 degrees counter-clockwise from the position in your third picture. With what tooth Gear? So the mark on the "32-38" actually points toward the bolt holding the retaining clip/
ejndssn Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 there should be a little tic mark at the base on the tc where the speedo gear goes in you can follow the vac lines connection to the base also you can line up the lines i think they are the thin ones to that knub and you should here it when they get connected that's how it worked for me :cheers:
