Well put the transfer case back together, but instead of taking editing and posting a lot pictures I made 4 videos about it, after a test drive the transmission feels great, funny how what started as a question about the transmission slipping turned into a transfer case service. Any way thank...
Just an update ordered the overhaul kit (part # TRS-TSK231J) from drivetrain.com, waiting on parts then ill post more pictures as I replace the seals in the t case then I will open up the transmission and will take more pictures and post them. More pictures is better right?
Quick up date, After cleaning all the bearings and running my finger nail across main shaft and front output shaft. Then very very slowly rotating the bearing by the inner cage feeling for any scaring, pitting and "bumpies". Then looking very closely at the gears syncros and chain. I'm 90% sure...
I think the only way to truly tell which brand is better is to get bearing part number from the factory (etched into the side of the bearing sometimes on the outer race) that made the bearings and try to Google the specs of each individual brand and see if they list different load specs and the...
Basic things I would check in the back (if the growl is coming from behind you) of the jeep, differential fluid level (check of metal shavings in the fluid as well), transfer case fluid level (also check for metal flakes) if the fluid is low or has metal in it it could be bearings in the rear...
I know a malfunctioning CSP sensor can cause a no start / kill condition and dose not always trip a code. Its easy enough to get to I believe, it's on the rear of the engine driver side topish / 1:00 position of the flywheel housing. After the engines cool restart it and jiggle the connector and...
Just a quick update on the Grand Cherokee, I noticed that the throttle valve cable is broken so that explains why the over drive was acting funny, so that will get replaced, I'm going to overhaul the NP 231 transfer case and drop the transmission pan to adjust the bands , replace the filter and...
I showed this to my wife...and after she was able to calm me down she said it proves only one thing...."that the only thing that can really kill a jeep is another jeep", made me feel a little better...
I would check the fluid level first thats the easiest thing to do. The I would check the shifter linkage. I have been hearing that the governor in the transmission sometimes goes out. I'm tearing into a Grand Cherokee drive-train as well so if I find out anything I deferentially let you know.
Hey quick question, is there supposed to be a seal between the overdrive unit and the transfer-case? Thats where the huge leak was coming from thus why I dropped the transfer-case. My Haynes repair manual is lacking a detailed exploded view of the drivetrain.
