    Muncie 4 Speed Stuck in First

    Ok....I went to load the the Willy's onto the trailer to take it to town to have some exhaust put on. I put it (Muncie M-21) in first gear, and can't get it back out. I un-hooked the shifter linkage, and it's still stuck. I can't even get it to come out with channel locks on the link and...

    Bench Bleeding

    Ok....just about got the bracket built for the clutch slave cylinder on the Willys. Problem: In the course of all the fabbing I pumped the clutch master and pushed the piston out of the slave. I see how it goes back together, but now I have to re-prime the system. How do I go about bench...

    Frame Dimensions

    Ok...Looking to buy some rock sliders from a certain someone. Question is: They are for a TJ. I have a YJ. What are the frame dimensions on a TJ? I need to know how tall, how wide, how far from the frame to the outside edge of the tub, and if the frame tapers any. The frame on my YJ's "main...

    Oil Pressure Gauge

    Ok.....my oil pressure gauge used to read one line above 40 running down the road, and one line short of 40 at idle. Over the past few weeks, the "range" of the gauge has been dropping, never getting up to 40 even running down the road. My question is, can an oil pump go out slowly, or do I more...

    Enlighten Me!

    Ok....this question probably has an obvious answer that I haven't thought of. On a limited-slip differential, power is sent to the wheel with LESS traction. Why is this?
