I hate jeeps!!!

CarnationSensation · Jan 6, 2012

Thank you to all of those that have offered advise and ways of trouble shooting the true problem.
You all are right and i will be pullling the tranny either way. I will be replacing the clutch and throwout at the same time. Not sure i will convert to the newer bellhousing with the external slave (what happened, did jeep finally see how it should be done on a yota?) She dont wheel it. it sees dirt roads every once in a while.
I never thought i would see a thread say to conver to an auto over a manual...Are they stronger or just more reliable?

Yeah your right toyota parts dont last with power and big tires but neither does your stock jeep parts. I dont know any jeep guy that hasnt upgraded his dana 30's or 35's, well a jeep guy that actually beats his **** hard and has bigger tires than 33's.
We all break ****, then we upgrade. Just how it goes. But now i have to work on a jeep

BURN IT!!!!

a couple mistakes made here.......... :looser:

#1 you let your old lady buy a jeep.......
#2 you let your old lady buy a jeep, and now you have to work on it.....
#3 you let your old lady buy a jeep, and you have to work on it but, don't know how.....

one way to solve this, burn it, get insurance and buy toy:awesomework:

or, figure out how to work on it and quit bitchin:flipoff:

:awesomework:

I bought my old lady a toy and spent 3k.. since then put 3k in to her.. still putting $$ in to it.. i work on it and i dont know a damn thing about toyota.. but i DO know that the master and slave cylinder on mine is pretty simple

so good luck..

as far as the jeep thing, it is funny how actual power breaks things isnt it? let us know how long your stock yota **** lasts on anything with power. axles and t-case sure, stock birfs and trannies NO! its a wheelin rig, fix it instead of bitching about it, if you can figure it out.

Jeep 4.0 equals power?:haha::haha: And that jeep "power" broke the throw out bearing?:eeek: And to handle all that Jeep "power" we have the mighty dana 30 and 35.:haha::haha:

Good luck man. You might not want to diss on the jeep guys to much since your asking for our help. I really don't understand why people are so ****in picky about their rigs anyway. To each his own man. my 86 xj needed a clutch a master cylinder and a fuel pump and it runs great now. Wheeled the crap out of it. If the master cylinder is leaking you need to check the fuse box cause jeep in their infinite wisdom decided to put the fuse panel right under the clutch master cylinder. And apparently dot 3 melts plastic.

Dot 3 melts plastic? ya sure about that statement? Doesn't it come in a plastic container?

Hickboii · Jan 6, 2012

It's stored in a different type of plastic then what the fuse box is made of. It's not like it disintegrates it but it melts the fuses and the thin pieces of plastic that hold the contacts for the fuses to plug into. Ask me how I know.

I have dot 3 in mine for years now and no problems at all.

agree'd:beer::beer:

I really started enjoying mechanics when this thought finally clicked in my mind:redneck: now i cant stop wanting to learn about em all

Fixed.

I know the world is dark outside of broken birfields and 22re land but if you take half second to think about what your dealing with before you make the effort to type it, you can almost always figure it out...

:haha::haha::haha:

The hydraulic setup with the early wranglers can be finiky thing. Their internal slave cylinders arent a popular setup among the wheeling crowd and guys either go through the process of swapping out the internal design for an external or converting their manual to automatic. Either way its not that tough to troubleshoot and fix. Just depends on how extensive of a fix you want.... Theres writeups all over pirate4x4 if you wanna read up. Goodluck
