Pete M Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 you'll fill it through the fill hole until it won't take any more. it's situated at that exact spot for that reason. obviously this will need to wait until you've installed it back into the truck.
AMC86Kid Posted March 30, 2020 Author Posted March 30, 2020 it says in the book my friend has 2.1 liters i guess i will start there and see how it looks i also accidentally broke my Vacuum Switch on the T-Case my question is if i install a Posi-Lock on the front axle will that then solve my problem and bypass this switch ?
Pete M Posted March 30, 2020 Posted March 30, 2020 a posilock would negate needing that switch, yes. or just bypass the CAD and forget the system ever existed.

JustEmptyEveryPocket Posted March 30, 2020 Posted March 30, 2020 The first read-through of your comment " 31 minutes ago, Pete M said: tell you to stop spreading your ideas on using 2-low. " I read it as "tell you to stop spreading your lies"! Took me aback for a moment until I slowed down and read ALL the letters in ALL the words. Anyways: Team 2wd Low FTW! Anyone interested should look into a posi-lock system. Combine that with a boostwerks shift linkage for the 231. Everything is awesome!
derf Posted March 30, 2020 Posted March 30, 2020 Yeah, 2wd low (either FWD or RWD) is useful when rock crawling. An Atlas or other twin sticked transfer case makes that so much nicer.
AMC86Kid Posted March 30, 2020 Author Posted March 30, 2020 Sounds like a plan I will order a a Posi-Lock so I can ditch the vacuum sensor switch

AMC86Kid Posted March 30, 2020 Author Posted March 30, 2020 Working on the tranny next does anyone know how to remove the check fluid level filler neck tube ??
jdog Posted March 30, 2020 Posted March 30, 2020 should just have a o-ring at the base, should come out by just pulling it, altho some have a bolt at the base
AMC86Kid Posted March 31, 2020 Author Posted March 31, 2020 Ok I will pull on it and see what happens
AMC86Kid Posted March 31, 2020 Author Posted March 31, 2020 So I finally was able to open the tranny and looked at the front band what do you guys think ? It looks original but in mint condition is it fine to just put it back in ?
jdog Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 If you have one, which you should have if you got the rebuild kit. Replace it
Eagle Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 22 hours ago, AMC86Kid said: Sounds like a plan I will order a a Posi-Lock so I can ditch the vacuum sensor switch Why? Do you do any type of off-road driving where you would need to use 2-wheel drive in low range? If not, save your money and just lock the front axle in the engaged position permanently. Jeeps with the Selec-Trak transfer case don't have the front axle disconnect, and the factory stopped using it with the Command-Trak transfer case around 1991. It will not hurt anything to drive in 2WD with the front axle engaged.
AMC86Kid Posted March 31, 2020 Author Posted March 31, 2020 Thanks for your advice eagle but I do want to able to have 2wd low I'm sure it helps a lot driving down hill and jdog i haven’t bought the kit yet because you can order ones with or without the band so I wanted to see what I needed first then order it
AMC86Kid Posted March 31, 2020 Author Posted March 31, 2020 What makes you say that jdog ?? do you think the material on the band has just evenly worn down ? oh and the filler neck did pull right out thanks
AMC86Kid Posted March 31, 2020 Author Posted March 31, 2020 Here’s a pic of the rear band looks a little used but I’m stuck with it since they don’t sell new ones
Warren Mohler Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 3 hours ago, AMC86Kid said: since they don’t sell new ones That band appears burnt, should look like the one in previous pic. which looks good to me. these parts should be available if you can't find one new visit local mom and pop trans shops, most of these guys are hoarders and may have one for cheap
AMC86Kid Posted April 1, 2020 Author Posted April 1, 2020 Well warren the front band is the kick down for 2nd gear and the rear band is for low reverse so if it doesn’t drive in reverse at least I can drive forward till I get it fixed
AMC86Kid Posted April 1, 2020 Author Posted April 1, 2020 Now for hopefully my last problem how do you guys recommend I remove this broken brass fitting I got a new one the fits the same thread size and there’s no access to it inside the tranny just outside like how it looks in the pic, any advice ?
