OK I'm back! The problem wound up being the starter cable. I replaced it along with the battery cables and now it starts right up - huge difference with the new starter. I also wound up replacing my key lock ignition cylinder (it was broken, but not the problem) and turn signal cam in the...

I replaced the one at the base of the column last year, but the mechanical one I have not an its the one that doesn't seem right. Could the mechanical one cause weird symptoms like this?

I have an aftermarket steering wheel that I've taken off, but there is a metal plate blocking the turn lever switch and the key lock. Please tell me I headed in the right direction!

That's interesting..... I've checked all the cable connections, I have installed a new starter and solenoid and I took the battery to Autozone and it tested fine. I am now looking at the ignition key lock cylinder. It's acting really weird. Originally I could start the Jeep without using a...

It's ironic, but the Liberty's battery is brand new as it went out about a month ago! I put it back into the Liberty and its starting just fine. It's really wierd, I did not have one problem starting it and then all of a sudden this happened. I started it, drove it about a block and then it...

I'm pretty sure that they are ok as I had everything disconnected at one point, I know they are are nice and tight. I'll check for any corrosion that I missed. Can the ignition key lock switch cause this? I noticed my voltmeter flutters as I turn the key. I didn't notice this before.

Ok, after getting to drive around for a month my CJ decided not to start...all I get is a "click" which I am assuming is the solenoid. I have replaced the starter and solenoid but this did not help. I tried the light test where I turn on the lights when attempting to start and once I get the...

Not including the fluids it was around $300.00 without tallying everything its a guestament- definitely not over. I swapped between 4wd.com and quadratec.com both were accurate and shipped right away which was nice when trying to time all this out. I had everything when I needed it. A few cuts...

Good news! My CJ is back rolling again...finished it today. The clutch is working and no more fluid leaks!!! Thanks again for your help!

You are right. The reason I didn't install was with all that work I did I wanted to see if anything leaked or if the clutch worked. I had no intention of driving it any distance. I put the plate on today and still had the problem so I removed the clutch boot and watched the throw out bearing...

Ok, I officially drove my CJ around the block.....I wound up replacing the motor mounts, rear main seal, oil pan gasket, throw out bearing, fork and springs, xfer case pan gasket, ujoints, and rear pinion seal. So far no leaks! I found it hard to get into gears, but I think its because I havent...

-lol I guess I can add that to the list...I'm laughing out loud as I'm typing this! Stay in touch I may need your help again!!!!

its funny you say that. The tube definitely has a worn flat spot on it from the bearing. Do I need to replace the tube? or a better question is will I be able to replace it without tearing up the transmission?

Several things.....I had to pound out a dent on my oil pan so hopefully that won't leak! I need to replace my header, and then put my transmission and xfer case back in. I originally tore it down because my clutch popped and then I couldn't get it in gear. So I tore everything down. The...

Thanks again Steelheadz! I was able to get the upper seal out without any issues using a small torx screw driver. It actually popped right out! Anyway, both seals and the cap are back on! Moving on to the next thing!

Ok I'll take a break tonight and try it again tomorrow. Thanks for your help and advice!

Makes sense! Will it come out fairly easily or will I have to work at for awhile? ...and once I get it out, I heard using dish soap or oil is key to getting the new one in....is it difficult putting the new one in? I'm worried that I bit too much off this time....not a good feeling!!

Ok, I am a newbie so please excuse my ignorance! I have battled and battled to get the motor mounts, oil pan gasket, and main seal replaced. I finally got the bearing cap off and was able to replace the bottom seal with no problems. I attempted to remove the upper seal using a small screw...

That's interesting! Never thought of that! Unfortunately I have already pulled the transmission out. I haven't got to the clutch yet - I have a lot of other stuff going on so I haven't got a chance to work on it as much as I wanted. I have to replace the rear main seal which looks like I...
