Just a quick update on a few things. Transmission is running GREAT!!! Like a whole different Jeep. Speedometer cable was not seated correctly in the transmission, now it works. I changed the oil and went from 0.25 bar at idle to 1.5 bar. At 2,000 rpm (no load) I have 2 bar instead of 1 bar...

Not at all! I have 2 current projects and 2 future projects, and am still looking for a postal project. I am sick, I have a problem.

Interesting that you decided to ”Americanize” the front grille. I personally like the UK lights and round grilles, but probably because they are unique in the US with a sea of “normal“ versions.

I had a neighbor tig weld a NP241 case. He said it glowed a strange blue color while welding. I don’t think you can ever degrease a transmission or transfer case. But I still think minor cracks can be welded. Not sure a T-5 case is a good candidate for welding, not the best transmission and I...

I highly recommend a steam cleaner with brass brushes to clean the oily parts. I use this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000DF0RB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1...

Easy to develop a stash of T-5 cases when you eat them like m&m’s.

I have decided I am not planning to haul my camper to the Wolf Caves campground. I have already paid for spot #50 if anybody wants to use it. Paid for 4th thru 7th. 50 Amp Campsite. Let me know if anyone would like to use that spot. I might park the Overlander there each night and commute...

I used an O’Reilly clutch in my ’82 with a T-5, but that was almost 10 years ago. Product might have changed since then.

I checked the throttle valve linkage. You ensure the valve lever is fully forward and adjust the linkage so the u shaped rod is resting on the plastic bushing (looks like a plastic pulley). Mine was adjusted correctly and needed no adjustment. After this and checking the drain plug for...

Word to the wise, when testing a new transmission rebuild, verify if the transfer case is in neutral. Otherwise, you will keep wondering why it won’t go forwards or backwards when shifted into gear. This causes great stress and doubt over what you might have done wrong. Also, 20 pints is full...

Woo hoo, getting close. I dumped the remainder of the gallon of ATF from filling the torque converter into the transmission. I also dumped an additional gallon in. So it currently has 16 pints of ATF in it. Per the factory manual, a dry transmission and torque converter take 17 quarts. I plan...

I am running the dorman manifold, no issues. You have to transfer the old heat riser sheet metal to the new manifold is the only issue. (If you want a heated intake.) https://www.cj-8.com/threads/holley-sniper-efi-for-bbd-carbs.50781/#post-428068

If you buy it, this site is better than any technical manual. If you can’t find the info, post a question here and somebody will help by providing guidance and/or photos.

It will be hard to tell if all the parts are there. With a scrambler, there are some parts that are unique and hard to get. These include the rear tailgate brackets that bolt to the body tub. The plastic channel at the wheel well to route the wiring to the tail lights. Roll bar, half cab...

Got a little bit more done. Not as much progress, mother had a fall and broke her leg. Been spending time with her in the hospital. Once I got the tailhousing replaced, the transfer case just slid right into position. Next was installing the transmission mount. This is a multiple part...

With the number of converter thefts, probably a high chance nowadays.

Cleaning up more stuff before reinstalling, and I noticed this: Can’t remember ever seeing a starter with an American Motors tag on it. Kinda neat. What is NOT neat is wrestling with the transfer case. I spent a good hour trying to get it lined up right, but it refused to slide in at the...

I would use a mercon / dexron fluid -or- atf +4. ATF +4 is Chrysler’s blend and is synthetic. mercon / dexron is the “universal fluid” and can be synthetic or mineral based. I don’t think you can go wrong with anything (except type F). These don’t have brass (or other metals) syncros that...
