Any recommendations on where to buy it online or otherwise?

I'll take a look, but the pinion seal wasn't leaking before I changed the fluid. Could new fluid cause the pinion seal to leak?

well, i got the fluid changed on Saturday. But now the thing is leaking. It's not major...no puddles under the Jeep or anything, but there's always a drop hanging from the bottom of the pumpkin. I really don't feel like doing that all over again.

I was wondering if people are still using Red Line transmission fluid in their 5-speeds. For a while everyone was talkling about it but I haven't seen any posts recently. I'll probably be changing the transmission fluid soon and was wondering what the consensus is.

anyone know the proper gear oil/necessary additives for the diffs on a stock 98 Sahara?

I had this same exact problem and there are a couple things you can check. Check your trackbar at both ends and make sure it's tight. You can do this by watching it while a friend turns it all the way to the right and the left and watching the ends for play. Another thing to check are the...

So if I was doing a full replace as opposed to a rebuild would all of that still be involved or would it essentially be sliding out the axles, removing the bearing supports, dropping in a new diff, and doing it all backwards?

In my old diff the spiders were all pitted. Not sure if water got in there or what. On this new one, I'm not sure yet. It might not even need replaced. All I know is that it's whining a little bit durning normal driving and that it acts funny once it warms up. It makes this very noticable...

It hasn't rained here for over a week, but thanks for taking the time to post!

It looks like I may need to replace/rebuild the rear differential on my 98 Sahara. I've never really done any drive train internals work so I was curious if anyone had a link to a detailed, step by step outline of what would go into it so I can see if I'm up to the task. I had a shop rebuild...

On the way into work this morning, I was cruising down the road in my 98 Sahara and the speedo and tach went to zero and the airbag light came on. All the rest of the guages seemed to be fine. It happened twice on the way in and after about 3 minutes of sitting at zero, they both returned to...

hey all, my girlfriend's 98 Sahara has been acting weird during low speed maneuvers when the thing has been run for a while. It's seems to happen especially after highway driving. But during low speed turns, like pulling into a parking space, it makes this weird noise and I think I've noticed...

RE: cat converter mods Hey guys. I'm trying to find the best price on a sailcloth top for my girlfriend's jeep and was curious if y'all had any recommendations for a place to look. The cheapest I've found so far is 718 for a sailcloth with tinted windows on quadratec and 4wd hardware. thanks.

RE: CV driveshafts Hey all, The time has come to part with my Jeep. I need to go find something a little more commuter friendly. Here are the details... Red with black top 99000 miles 5-speed with 25K on it 31x10.50 Kumho MTs with about 10K on them 2" Trailmaster Suspension lift JKS Sway...

RE: door hinge Well, I took a look and it turns out that it is the swaybar. At some point the thing has become off center and once side of it is catching on the frame. I tried to beat on it with a hammer to knock it over closer to center but it won't budge. Any recommendations on fixing this...

Yeah, I tried to see where it was coming from while my girlfriend turned the wheel but really couldn't tell. I watched both ends of the track bar because I had thought the same thing, but there didn't seem to be any movement from either side. I tried to tighten down the bolt on the axle end...

Loking For a air compresor hey all. every time i turn the wheel to the left on my TJ (high speed, low speed, no speed) there's a loud pop or click that comes from somewhere in the front end. I've checked the sway bar and tie rods visually and everything seems tight. Any thoughts on what me...

I was just curious about how difficult a job it would be for me to install a new exhaust on my 97 TJ from header to tailpipe. I have a pretty decent set of hand tools, I can get a couple power tools, working on the ground with jacks/jack stands, probably outside, with some experience installing...

I had a bad case of the death wobble with my TJ about a year ago. I tried just about everything to get rid of it. Tightened the tie rods, replaced the traction bar, had the tires balanced, etc, etc. But whenever I hit around 55 and hit a bump or went around a turn, I'd be wobbling all over...

Got an open driveway/garage in Denver, CO? Thought maybe we could get a forum going where people list their favorite mechanics. Maybe we could divide it up by state or region. It's hard to find a good person to work on your car so maybe by doing this we could all find that person as well as...
