1056802 Hey JP I'd start by checking the temperature sending unit sounds like it may be faulty it'll save you a lot of aggrivation screwing with the wiring.[addsig]

1056804 Don't worry about the slight grind in second. do like these guys say with the synth oil. It's just the start of the synchros going. If it goes after a while throw in the ax15. By then you'll probably want to put in a 350 or somethin anyway!! :-D [addsig]

1056805 It is a big pain to trouble shoot wiring. I'd suggest taking the motor back and finding one the same as yours or have yours rebuilt.[addsig]

1061623 My clutch in my 87 yj went for a crap, much the same as yours did. It turned out to be the plunger in the master cylinder. It was relatively inexpensive to replace and it was fairly easy to do. I would start by checking that. The slave cylinder, however, is a lot of work.[addsig]

1062274 If it's your daily driver, I would strongly advise against doing this conversion. The wiring is a nightmare unless you buy a new wiring harness as well. I did this conversion from an 89 cherokee 4.0L into my '87 YJ 2.5L It took me almost three months to do the swap. It was very time...

1045431 does this still apply even though i've taken the motor trany, wire harness and the computer from the cherokee and rammed it all in the yj?[addsig]

1045472 here is an update. When I disconnect the vacuum line to the map sensor it idles down to around 1500rpm, plug it back in goes back to 5000rpm. Hmmm... something do do with vacuum lines. the egr valve3 is pouched but i will be replacing that soon. [addsig]

1045474 cut out a section and weld in a new section try to use a little heavier gauge metal than sheet metal though. but you probably already knew that. [addsig]

1045862 hey, tug has the right idea. There is no dought that the paint has faded over the years, so matching will be kinda hard. Depending on where it is that you are doing the repair you may be able to get away with spot painting the repair and feathering out the basecoat the clear the whole...

1045915 This may sound stupid but you may want to check your egr valve. I had a staling problem with my 87 yj and that is what it was. It is pretty easy to check and they aren't that much at a wrecker.[addsig]

1045916 it would be a good idea to go to a wrecker and cut off a transmission spline of the same transmission if you can find one that will help you line up the clutch plate. Otherwise it can be a nightmare. I think there is also a tool you can buy but usually the spline is cheaper.[addsig]

1045917 I would listen to mudder, he sounds like he knows what he is doing. That aluminum they are made of is really hard to get paint to stick as well as the paint will crater.[addsig]

1046201 Check your oil pressure sending unit and the wiring as well as the wires going to the gauge[addsig]

1048566 i know how you feel dude, my 87 yj was ripped of last january. They found it the next day and they had only smashed my steering column and stole my stereo. It worked out better in the end cause insurance gave me a nice settlement. Since then I converted my 2.5 throttle body to the...

1048568 had the same problem before too . Everyone is right with the lube, but try a product called "Move it" it works a little better than wd40 When you do get them off sand them with some sand paper and put some "Never sieze" in them. I haven't had a problem since.[addsig]

1048569 I suggest calling advance adapters and talking to them. When I was considering a conversion to a v8 I emailed them from way up here in Canada and they called me within 5 min. I talked to them for about 1 1/2 hr. they were a great help. As well I'd recommend getting the advance book...

1048685 just finished on my 87 YJ not that hard, just takes a bit of time.[addsig]

1048686 If anyone cares it turned out to be the switch in the column..[addsig]

1049056 Even with everyone's advice, I'd have to say that a new clutch probably would not solve your problem. If it is only that I'd drive till it needs to be fixed.[addsig]

1049584 My buddy just went to a garage to have his intake gasket replaced. They said that it would really affect his mileage. Easy to check just put some dishsoap around the gasket and start it up if it bubbles it needs some tlc[addsig]
