Are you looking for some sort of structure to attach it to (hence the coat hanger)? I don't know how well they'd hold, but you could try something like this https://www.amazon.com/Adhesive-Management-Adjustable-Organizer-Fixation/dp/B0881DWXPL/?th=1 or this one accepts zip ties...

Did you use loctite on the bell housing bolts? I've put loctite on the flywheel to torque converter bolts, and all the driveshaft bolts, but I didn't see any on the four bell housing bolts (so I didn't add any). I'm in the final bits of this, but if I need to go back and add loctite, now's the...

Wire conduits protecting the wiring harness on my transmission had pretty much deteriorated. I took some time and put new conduit on there and used electrical tape to tidy things up a bit. Hopefully it'll last another 20 years. Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk

That's great man, good work.

I managed to get the transmission dropped yesterday. The transmission jack made things a lot easier. I used a socket on the crank bolt at the front of the engine to spin it over and remove the flywheel bolts I was able to jack up the front of the Jeep in order to slide the transmission...

That's awesome. I'm really taking my time on this - I'll probably drop the trans later this week. I plan on pressure washing everything including the bottom of the Jeep before I put things back together. I'm debating on if I should open up the transfer case or not. I don't have any reason to...

I was looking into this just now, and I see the same guys that made my skid plates make a low profile mount https://undercoverfab.com/body-and-power-train-mounting/20-ucf-lopro-03-06-tj-lj-trans-mount-.html They do say that this mount will cause more vibrations - I'm betting that it's due to the...

Got some more progress last night. The transfer case is out. It wasn't very hard at all, although it was heavier than I expected. This video is a good one to walk through how to remove the transfer case He did have alot more fluid pour out his transfer case than I did. I ended up...

I started taking things apart today. I did notice right off the bat that there appears to be a leak where my transfer case selector mounts I also noticed the transmission mount is ready to be replaced I bought a new transmission Jack, but I'm not exactly sure how to best position it. My...

I've watched that video, and it's really good. Surprisingly few videos on this topic. I have the whine (which has gotten very loud), and the shutter. I haven't noticed any slippage yet - either I'm catching it early, or misdiagnosing.

That stinks man. I'm going to pay extra attention to this.

I'm with you on this. I don't trust AI in general, however I do think it's good as "yet another opinion". I've been using Valvoline ATF+4 for some time now. Since I bought that fluid extractor I've changed the trans fluid (well, half at a time) every other oil change. My Jeep still runs...

Here's where Permatex talks about the need for a pressurized can:

I asked Chat GPT, and it told me that this is likely a bad torque converter. Not sure if this is just AI telling me what it thinks I want to hear, or if this is legit, but it sounds good:

I did some research on the pressurized can. From what I've read, the reason they use a can is because the gasket goo is too thick for a person to squeeze out of a tube. I think I'll probably go with the tube, 90 minutes is not too long of a wait if things have really gone sideways.

2005 Jeep Wrangler 4.0L with a 42RLE transmission. Symptoms: Loud whine when on the gas. Really easy to hear at 40mph and above, and if I let off the gas to coast the sound goes away. The sound stops for a moment as the jeep downshifts, and it almost sounds like it grinds / growls to a stop...

I'm always building out my trail bag with tools and emergency spares. This Feb we're planing on another wheeling trip seven hours from home, so I'm revisiting things. I think some gasket maker would be a good addition to my trail bag, but I'm in between two choices: Permatex The Right Stuff...

Wonder if you have a leak in your fuel lines somewhere.

That's great man. I've been changing my trans fluid with every other oil change. Just sucking out the fluid in the pan and adding new with my fluid extractor. I also have an after market trans cooler in front of my radiator. From everything I've heard, the 42rle will be the first thing to go...

I went over the weekend and helped my buddy swap his front axle out. Took us from 9:00 a.m. until 7:30 at night, but we got it done. We still need to do the rear axle but I think that's for another weekend We ended up swapping in new axles instead of trying to rebuilding the old one. Because...
