    Steering very tight after installing new gearbox

    I recently replaced the steering gear box on my 2000 4.0 auto because it was leaking. Jacked the front up, cycled the steering wheel right-left and vise versa 25 times with the engine off. Then turned engine on then cycled it again for 10 times. Took the jack off, turned engine on then tried to...

    32RH Transmission Issues

    Oh I know what bracket you are talking about. Mine broke long time ago. So it’s pretty much just the bottom part where the tube goes into that’s holding the tube ha ha. You might want to try the one that I used.

    I remember you telling me your dipstick tube is bolted. Mine just slides into the hole with the seal on it. So far no leaks🤞

    32RH Transmission Issues

    So I finally completed rebuilding my 32RH or A904 transmission. My TJ is back to life, runs and shifts smoothly during my 10 mile test drive. Big thanks to the youtube videos of @hear which gave me a lot of confidence to tackle the job. He was very responsive to all my questions. Issues found...

    32RH Transmission Issues

    Hey bro. What’s the torque on the transmission housing to engine block bolts? There are 2 sizes. Bigger ones go to the sides (guide/dowels) and the smaller ones to the top.

    32RH Transmission Issues

    Any tips on putting the dipstick tube back? It’s was pretty tricky getting it off. The space is pretty tight so I’m thinking it’ll be a pain putting it back on😄. Did you replace the filler tube seal?

    No Teflon for me. It’s all metal

    32RH Transmission Issues

    My question is specifically for the input shaft since that’s the only part with a different sealing ring that OTP sent. Wondering if there’s any issues using the metal sealing rings. I’ve tried to call them several times and they never answered their phone. Emailed them and they never responded

    2 of the old sealing rings for the input shaft are plastic (the orange ones). Please see attached photo. The ones OTP sent are metal. Did you reuse the plastic ones or the new metal ones? Thanks

    32RH Transmission Issues

    I got the rebuild kit from Oregon Performance Transmission and it came with 2 oil seals. One of them has a long protruding rubber. What it’s for?

    32RH Transmission Issues

    Thank you for your reply. I am talking about the scratches inside the planetery. Please see yellow arrow. Just wondering if you had those scratches in your planetary when you did your rebuild. I saw one on Ebay which also has almost identical pattern of scratches so now I’m wondering if it’s...

    32RH Transmission Issues

    the inside part of my front planetary has some damage. Do you remember is there's some kind of washer on this part? I didn't see any when I disassemble it. I'll be replacing this. But I just want to make sure if there's supposed to be a washer here before I assemble it. Thanks.

    Can I leave the transfer case attached while removing 32RH transmission?

    Did you use a slide hammer to remove the pump? If so, where did you get it from?
