    anti-rattle clips question

    Those look like they got bent up. They should sit flush making a level surface for the ends of the brake pad to sit in. It's hard to see, but iirc the clips have "tabs" that actually fit into little indentations on the side of the cage.

    Transmission going out

    Got about 2K on the rebuild now and I gotta say that now I realize how bad the old one was. When I step on it now it goes! Hooks up and goes!

    Stripping O2 Sensor

    Break off the sensor and put a normal socket on it.

    Poor fuel mileage after NV3550 Rebuild.

    O2 sensor could've been knocked when they were in there doing the trans? If it was immediately different when you drove it away from the garage. If you have a scanner you can check to see if they are working right. That's a big drop.

    Mechanical reasons for low MPG's? Serious answers only please.

    History shows on this site that the only thing that helps mileage is re-gearing. Any "gimmick" thing has always proven to not do anything or make it worse. Bad o2 sensors may be a cause too, but those tires are probably to blame and all the other stuff.

    Hunting for the right Liberty

    Might as well get 4x4 and not worry about it. Would be cheaper than buying what you need for rear wheel drive like a locker and such. If you want really rugged get a nice 2002 or 2003.5 that has the 45rfe. Not as nice inside but much more "rugged" IMO. Just my 2 cents.

    Transmission going out

    It's fried Well it's done for, getting rebuilt. Called the place that I linked to in the previous thread and they said they didn't have any 42rles. Go figure. Having them put in a transgo shift kit just for good measure. Hopefully it will be better than new when I get it back.

    Transmission going out

    I'll have to have a shop do it. I could but would probably screw something up. Just need to see what they say is wrong. Would love to just feel how a new one feels. I got this KJ with 3000 miles on it and it has always been a bit quirky. Not really "Normal" if you ask me. Always shifting weird...

    Transmission going out

    a little web searching is telling me that the solenoid pack may be bad. There's also a TSB about the pressure sensor wiring harness where it gets corroded. I would check that, but I can't get to it and I don't really want to drop the transmission down. I don't see how it would be corroded...

    Transmission going out

    yeah, you are right you know. however I think I'll toast it driving it there being that it is about a 10 mile jaunt through town. I'm debating what my options are and might need to just get it towed.

    Transmission going out

    Thanks for your replies! No codes. At least no cel. There is a loud whine just before it acts up, sounds like a bad power steering pump, but it is obviously coming from the transmission. Driving home yesterday I had OD off to keep it cooler, had trouble taking off and barely got itself going 40...

Thought I'd pick the brains of all the fine folks here and see if this has already happened to anyone so I know what to expect. since mid winter i've had an...

    How to: Install/Replace 3.7l Waterpump.

    I think you HAVE to use the gasket. The gasket snaps into the pumps mating surface. It is more apparent after you see it.
