Question
Went offroading today, hit a bump a lil hard I guess, engine light came on after a bit of on road driving, as well, as it doesnt seem to be shifting into 4th gear...also popped a drive shaft, bearings fell out in the driveway
anyways, my question is, any ideas on what might have happened? how hard is it to replace a drive shaft? |
Re: Question
First...what type of vehicle are we talking about? Year, Engine, options, etc...
As for "the bearings fell out"...are we talking about U-Joint bearings, or something else? Later. |
Re: Question
whoops, sorry
its a 1995 Grand Cherokee Limited, with a 5.2L V8 up country suspension, other than that, all stock |
Re: Question
Driveshafts are easy, where did it come apart at the diff or transfer case, front/ back? Like wjcraig asked was it the u-joint that came apart ? All important info if you want an accurate answer.

Re: Question
my bad lol, wasnt thinking, its not driveshafts, im so stupid...its the cv shaft, it was the front drivers side, I was told by my local tranny shop today that the speedo/odometer, and OD is all related to a wire that comes from the tranny, possibly a dirty sensor?

Re: Question
CV joint's are easy to replace if your moderately handy with the wrenches, remember to always replace them in pairs.
You never mentioned what your guages are doing...need more info Dan |
Re: Question
sorry, my gauges arent doing anything, my speedo and odometer do nothing while driving, and no OD while driving, I was told it could be some wire?

Re: Question
From the 1995 ZJ Service Manual;
SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER The speedometer/odometer gives an indication of vehicle speed and travel distance. The speedometer receives a vehicle speed pulse signal from the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS). An electronic integrated circuit contained within the speedometer reads and analyzes the pulse signal. It then adjusts the ground path resistance of one electromagnet in the gauge to control needle movement. It also sends signals to an electric stepper motor to control movement of the odometer number rolls. Frequency values for the pulse signal are shown in a chart in Specifications. The VSS is mounted to an adapter near the transmission or transfer case output shaft. The sensor is driven through the adapter by a speedometer pinion gear. The adapter and pinion vary with transmission, transfer case, axle ratio and tire size. |
