Hey guys, hope your having a great weekend. Well, not so much here. I have worked and worked on my Cherokee and can't get it to start. Here is the story: My flex plate went bad and I replaced it over the Thanksgiving Holiday. I pickec up a used flex plate from the junk yard down the street...

Thanks for the tip. I'll try that out and see if that fixes it. It seems like this is a common issue on the Liberty at 90K miles or so (from other research). Thanks again for the advice.

Well, the Fiance took the vehicle in to the dealership because her parents were pressuring her. Now the dealership wants $500+ to fix a hose (at least thats what little infromation I got). Also, it seems the dealership said that the power steering fluid was low and that she could have messed up...

Hey guys, hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. Well, I am working on my fiance's Jeep Liberty (2002 with 3.7L engine) because it has a loud whining noise at a cold start. It only lasts for a few seconds and then goes away. It also gets worse as it gets colder outside (below 50F or so). Now...

Well the knocking was from loose flywheel bolts. I put some lock tight on them so they wouldn't come loose again. I replaced the motor mounts at the same time when I tightened the bolts. The problem I'm having now is that the motor shakes (rather vibrates) at low idle speeds (around 1000 to...

Awesome. I'll take a look at these things today and report back. I didn't think the chain would be the cause, but I just wanted to make sure with the experts. :shades:

Hey guys, I'm back again and wanted to see if anyone has run into the same issue I am having. First, I recently install a used AW4 transmission (about 3 months ago) and haven't had any problems. Just the other day the Cherokee was vibrating very rough at low rpm and would smooth out when I...

UPDATE (April 19,2009): After replacing the transmission, my Jeep runs better than when I first purchased it. It may be the luck of the transmission, but now it runs better, gets better gas mileage, and shifts super smooth. The junk yard transmission only had 84,000 miles on it, and came with 90...

I was able to do it in my regular Cherokee. It took two jack stands and 2 people. It worked but it definitely is a tight squeeze.

Thanks guys for all the help. I just finished the installation of a slightly used AW4. It's running great now. Just for others to know later, it took me 2 full days. On these Cherokees, there is 2 star bolts at the top of the bell housing. To remove them, I used a standard 12 notched 10mm...

Ok, so I'm going to swap the transmission in my 1993 Jeep Cherokee tomorrow. I have the Haynes Repair Manual but it does not include many pictures. I have searched Google for 5 or so hours total and can't come up with anything good. Does anyone have advice or some pictures they could share...

Long story short. They said the transmission was shot. Now I'm in the market for a new transmission. Does anyone know what transmissions are compatible with a 1993 regular Cherokee? I have looked on google several times but nothing seems to come up for "cherokee transmission compatibility." I...

Here is what I found about the TV... just so you guys know. I'm pretty sure this is correct. Function of the TV Cable: Many people believe that this is a detent downshift cable and that this is the only function that the cable performs. In actuality, the TV Cable controls line pressures, shift...

Thanks for the suggestions. Well my dad has helped me change most of these parts. He has almost every tool you can think of for cars. One problem though, I'm at college now and he lives about 3 hours away. What a bummer! My dad said that he needed to adjust the Throttle Valve cable on my...

Hey guys, new here but a long time Jeep owner. Fixed just about everything on this puppy but I am stuck because I know nothing about transmissions. Below are the basic specs: Jeep Cherokee 1993, 224,000 miles Here is the story: So I'm visiting my fiance who lives 30 miles away (I visit her...
