Sport87 Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Hi I am the proud owner of a beat up 1987 Jeep Comanche Sport. It ran fine before my now ex-husband tried to replace the clutch plate 23 years ago. I still have most of the parts. He lost all of the bolts needed to put it back together. I would like to get my truck back on the road. I don't care about the appearance right now. To date, the most I have done mechanically on a vehicle is add oil and washer fluid and change a tire. Does anyone want to take on the project of fixing my Jeep and teaching me how to work on it myself? Before you fall off your chair laughing, I am serious. I live in Chesterton, Indiana. Oh, on top of everything else, I am on a limited budget. This is not a joke. If you think I am a fool, just tell me. If this is doable, please tell me how. Thank you for your time.

Pete M Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 we all start at the bottom of the knowledge ladder. the fact that you want to learn how to tackle the bigger things puts you a huge step ahead of most owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghetdjc320 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Interesting project. Just so I can understand correctly, the Jeep has been sitting for 23 years for what was supposed to be a clutch job right? Any pictures you can take of that work area or parts may also be very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have moved the truck from Michigan to Indiana about 15 years ago so seeing the work area is useless . I can see about taking pictures if the parts I still have.

Thank you. The fact you didn't just laugh is encouraging. Looking on you tube was suggested and it sounds like as good a place to start as any.
