Re: Is this Jeep worth it?
I can tell you the WJ is in unlikely place in the back center of
engine and is pulled from just below the transmission:

Honda has one that you pull the speedo drive out of the refill it.

I didn't ask where the dip stick(s) were, only where the tranny one is in the
event that it was not obvious, so I could save the 30 seconds in looking
(principle of laziness), like on my Honda. As I explained before, I found it
immediately. Incidentally, the one on my Honda is not red, has a tiny loop
not a handle, is way below and to the left of the distribiutor, practically
hidden right beneath a large hose. In fact, you cant see it unless you move
the hose over an inch.

Re: Is this Jeep worth it?
Doug,
If I understand what you wrote, the cable you refer to as the transmission
kickdown cable is referred to as the "throttle valve" cable in Haynes
(According to book, only 1994 onward have kickdown. This is a 93). Your
description on adjusting that cable (by pushing the button...) assumes the
end of it is physically connected, or hooked onto the throttle body lever,
correct?
You see as I said, in my case it is not connected to anything, it is just
"hanging" /"dangling" there-- sort of loose, as is the cruise control linkage
cable.
If I follow, the throttle valve cable gets connected on the outside of, and
the cruise control linkage cable to the inside of, the throttle body lever.
Can the slack on each cable be taken up and the ends of each re-connected to
the throttle body lever, which is where I assume they are supposed to be
connected (if each connector which I referref to as "a pen cap" is not in
some way physically broken which I suppose would require replacement in that
case)?

The ends do. The tranny cable (kickdown cable) is important as it clues your
transmission into shifting down when you open the throttle all the way.

The transmission kickdown cable has an adjuster. You push the little button
in
and take up the slack. It then ratchets back to where it is supposed to be.
