I'm gonna take both yalls advice to heart. No driving with no track bar, and start on the bolt with lower impact settings first. Second thing I'm wondering about... I haven't seen any of these newer design grease retention cups yet, and I want to make sure I didn't receive a defective...

Thanks for the opinions. Terry I've come up with an idea that's gonna help getting it out if the head snaps. First I'm gonna remove the tabbed nut by rotating it instead of the bolt head. That way I'll use the friction between the bolt and sleve/rubber to my advantage instead of putting all...

I developed a bit of death wobble in the old 96er recently and traced it to the driver side connection of my track bar, so I'm in the middle of getting it out. I've been soaking the passenger side connection in the picture below with PB for a while now, and it's still distressingly hard to...

I've got a 02 Ford Taurus with a 'blown' heat a/c blower motor that needs replacing, and I was wondering if there are any model/part suggestions. Should I angle for an OEM part, or is there any manufacturer brand I should look out for, or avoid? Thanks.

I'm about to install a used AW4 transmission into my 96 XJ, and I'd like to replace whatever parts I can quickly get to before it goes in, short of a rebuild. I'll be replacing the torque converter for sure, but I don't know what replacement part to go with. Should I try to go for an OEM part...

To me, ohm is something you say during a Buddhist meditation. I'm afraid we've just reached the edge of my understanding of how to operate my multimeter. I understand that an ohm is a measure of resistance, but I'm not sure where to set my meter's dial and where to put the probes to measure...

Thanks for the info guys. Well, we have quite the mystery here then. I did some more testing and the batt shows 14.74 V with the engine running. With the engine running, high beams on and high fan on the batt reads 14.49 V. Got the old girl up to Advanced for their quick parking lot test and...

I have an 02 Taurus and my dash battery light has come on twice in the past week. Once after a few miles of driving, seemingly random, and once when I was warming the engine up. It's been 20-30F around here lately. This second time, I started the engine in the morning at about 20 deg F. Let...

Well I finally found a good 97 trans close by that's a bolt in for my 96 except for a little wire splicing. Does anyone have advice on how to get this splicing done or seen a write up on it?

Thanks again superj. Someone sent me this link and it addresses the wiring harness issue you mentioned. https://naxja.org/threads/everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know-about-the-aw4.1053970/ Jeepergeo I'm still thinking about going with a reman. Haven't decided yet. Thanks for the...

Thanks superj. Any idea on what range years and jeep models my transmission was put in?

'96 XJ here. I find myself in the unenviable position of trying to locate another good AW4 transmission, because my fluid just leaked out and mine's nothing but a core charge now. How do you go about finding a used one of these in acceptable condition? The only mechanic in town I trust took...

Two questions... One... 96 XJ here and my Aisin Warner AW4 4 speed auto transmission just failed due to a leaking trans oil cooler line, and I'm having to replace it with a used one via my trusty mechanic. It's failure has been verified and there's no chance to save it. My question is...having...

It has something specifically to do with the AW4 transmission. For some reason, it doesn't like Mercon III substitutes, or I'm just now learning synthetic transmission fluid.

Thanks superj. I've decided to splice this into the line leading from the radiator to the transmission. I've seen conflicting information as to which line is the send and which is the return, but luckily one of my lines is leaking so I'll be cutting it and seeing which direction the fluid...

I was told a while back never to use any transmission fluid other than the Dexron III Mercon suggested in the owner's manual, even after the IV, V, and VI versions came out, superseding the III version. But this is what I'm seeing at the car part store now. Nothing lower than Dexron...

I started to add a transmission cooler to the old XJ last year and after installing the cooler and lines I stopped short of connecting the lines to the transmission. Here's what I have now...cooler installed in front of the belt fan and lines. Can someone remind me...how do I go about...

'96 XJ 4.0 here coming to ya with 225k miles. Just now the transmision did something it's never done before...never even hinted at it. After sitting for about 4 hours after driving perfectly on the interstate (60 mph) I start another drive and after 5 mins at below 35mph I'm pulling off from a...

My '96 XJ has been my daily driver for years/decades now and she's got 220k miles behind her. My Mom's car needed some work so I traded cars with her while I get hers done. She doesn't drive nearly as much so it's only been started once every week for about the last month. On Tuesday of this...

I've got an old Taurus where the exterior windshield edge rubber has come lose on the passenger's side down to the bottom where it ends. I can't get it stuffed back into place so I'm just gonna cut some of the back off so it'll lay flat in it's groove and seal it down. What should I use...
