13 Legion Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Swapping out manual gearbox with... Yes another manual one. Anything I need to know about doing this swap. I searched the DIY section but didn't see anything on it. Just want to make sure I do this correctly without missing anything. 87 2.5 4spd. Any help or tips would be appreciated! It looks like it's a pretty clear cut swap but ya never know! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75sv1 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 What are you swapping in? Or are you replacing? Should be just bolt out, bolt in. I just replaced the one in my XJ, PS though. I was adjusting it, and then the front seal was leaking. replaced it with a Cardone. It did help a bunch with the XJ from wondering. Still, wonders a bit. Did you need adjustment instructions or other info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13 Legion Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 Just swapping a rebuilt one in. Are there any adjustments needed. An alignment done? Or just make sure I have the steering wheel in right position when putting in? I know it's the gearbox. While drivingthe steering wheel has a ton of play in it. Previously I've had tried just adjusting but it's long beyond that point. 29 years was a good lifespan for the part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
