Hope its going well and apologizes for starting another thread from suggestion in the previous thread (https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/dana-35-gear-rebuild-advice.88641/), I have successfully done a minor overhaul of my dana 35 with new bearings and races, reusing the old shims. Currently I...

Hope the new year is finding everyone well and any input to my predicament is appreciated. This past week I swapped in a set of 100$ axles (Dana 30 and 35) with 3.73 gears to replace my old 3.07 ones. I was foolish and probably didn't do a thorough enough check over the inside of the axles...

Good morning, Just got done swapping in a used ax15 and finally have a working first gear. As the title suggests and from being self taught how to drive stick on this TJ without a working first gear I was wondering if I'm putting a lot of strain on my trans/syncors by downshifting into first...

good morning Im a pretty new jeep owner and driver in general so this may just be a jeep thing or my inexperience…. Recently I’ve started to drive a nearby mountain pass about 3-4 times a week in my bone stock 97 TJ sport. The pass has some pretty steep curves at 45-65 mph that are usually also...

Currently my 97 TJ has the original Ax-15 w/ 270k miles a broken first gear by the PO when out wheeling. The tranny shifts good in all other gears, will still go into first gear when the engine is off or when on and clutch is pushed in, but as soon as I let off the clutch a little it makes a...

Howdy! Currently dialing in my TJ's tire pressure to help on road manners and the consensus seems to have it settled at 28 PSI for E rated 235/75R15 BFGs. I've driven around town am enjoying the difference at sub 55 mph speeds but I'm curious if there's any draw-backs or cons that come with...

Hope it’s going well! Within the last hour my TJ started blowing smoke out of the ac to the point of having no vision in the cabin! The story goes that I recently did an engine swap and had ac lines and everything disconnected so my system is free of Freon. Today I did a coolant flush and was...

Howdy, Recently I swapped out a 4.0L from a 99 XJ into my 97 TJ after the previous one gave out. Made sure to prime the fuel/oil, double check distributor timing and engine started up good until I started to hear a knocking noise coming from around cylinder 3 that increased with RPM and a...

Hey Jeepers Recently I got a 1997 TJ 4.0L 5 spd off my girlfriends uncle (PO) completely free with 270k on the dash and have been driving it around for the last month or so. Despite the high mileage the PO told me he put a new engine in the car with ~70k miles on it, but retained the old ax-15...
