Re: Is this Jeep worth it?
The transmission is a one piece sealed unit.
The transfer case is also a one piece sealed unit.
They normally take different types of fluid even.
If the transmission is low on fluid, it has a leak. This leak has
nothing at all to do with the transfer case, the speedometer or the
tailshaft.
You must go under and remove a bolt on the top side of the transfer case
to check the fluid level in the transfer case.
Transmissions leak either up front between the tranny and engine, or the
pan gasket leaks (by far the most common leak) or the rear seal leaks
and drips out 'between' the transmission and transfer case.
Non of the above means you need to replace anything except 'maybe' a
seal or maybe just tighten a few bolts on the pan gasket or give it a
new pan gasket.
I would look at the pan gasket closely. If it has silicone sealer on
it, someone changed the oil and likely the bolts just came loose like
they normally do after a sloppy pan gasket change or they used the old
gasket.
If you try turning the transmission pan bolts by hand, I'll bet you find
some finger loose.
Then if it is only down a pint or so when you check the level hot, (the
dipstick says whether to check it in neutral or park and running) I
would recommend you ignore the leak for a couple months to see how much
it does indeed leak. If it took 100,000 miles to go down a pint,
well.....

Re: Is this Jeep worth it?
Somewhere along the line they "new and improved" the rotor button and cap.
When you replace them be certain they are a matching set.
The local mechanic on the Do-it-yourself radio show says the only injector
cleaner that really works well is Chevron's Techron. Chevron makes 2
products with similar names, one is the Techron cleaner and the other is a
cleaner with Techron. The real stuff is about $5 for the small bottle.

Re: Is this Jeep worth it?
The New Process aluminum body transfer cases have a fill/level plug on the
back. It takes a pretty big wrench, a little over an inch. On the ones I
have seen, the wrench flats aren't very deep, so a socket is recommended.
Yeah, they are sealed units, but if you take out the fill plug, and a quart
or more of fluid gushes out, that fluid came from a leaky transmission
output seal.

Re: Is this Jeep worth it?
The New Process aluminum body transfer cases have a fill/level plug on the
back. It takes a pretty big wrench, a little over an inch. On the ones I
have seen, the wrench flats aren't very deep, so a socket is recommended.
Yeah, they are sealed units, but if you take out the fill plug, and a quart
or more of fluid gushes out, that fluid came from a leaky transmission
output seal.

Re: Is this Jeep worth it?
On the pinging, i would just tune it up and take it for a good highway
run. This will clean up most of the junk inside. If it still pings,
then I would think about a top end clean job. The type that gets sucked
in works best in my opinion.

Re: Is this Jeep worth it?
On the pinging, i would just tune it up and take it for a good highway
run. This will clean up most of the junk inside. If it still pings,
then I would think about a top end clean job. The type that gets sucked
in works best in my opinion.
