cassette/unit same thing.
fronts bolt on. rears are internal to the housing.

Have you also lifted the axle and spun the wheels by hand?

a fresh clutch is always money well spent. Esp if you wheel it in the middle of nowhere. :v:

Nothing worse than having a major driveline part fail in the middle of a loving trail.


seconding Kastein, good thing you caught the joint now rather than later.

Us oil leaker owners don't get a chirp warning. Just a broken shaft and a hole in the trans.

Wifey bought a replacement thingy. My only rule is that the replacement couldn't have a 42rle.

and it doesn't. I'm a bit surprised at how capable these are with car tires.

Aren't Land Rovers aluminum? :stonk:

only parts of the bodies. and they corrode like a motherfucker.
and what isn't alu, turns to dust before they roll off the ferry.

the new poo poo they're milling out is an aluminum unibody, They're yet to be old enough to get stricken by corrosion or have the subframes rust off.

Wifey's TJ started making some awesome howling noises from the trans the other day. Not really knowing who or what went bad we picked up a clutch kit for it and input bearings for the trans.

yeah the pilot bearing was so fuckt i had to unbolt the pressure plate in situ and remove it with the trans.

Seeing as there is no decent Land Rover thread, do any of you own a 90/D90 or have driven one (or worked on one)? I am starting to do some research into the Land Rover 90's (w/ the TDI) and work out a financial roadmap to owning one in two to three years when my XJ finally bites it.

PM me or whatever with the details you want. I owned/op'd a rover service facility for a while.

if they're not bleeding the abs module it can present issues like this. outside of that, yeah, the master is failing. Look for fluid leaks at the base where the cylinder bolts to the booster.

Truck shop it. Too easy to get the right thing at the right cost.

Also grind out your perch weld and redo it. This time, preheat the axle with a handheld torch. Turn your current all the way the gently caress up and spend more time on the axle side than the perch side.

This is how jeeps do it.

Related to jeep things. Took my husband's four door grocery getter with extra buttons in for an oil change. Promptly needed an oil cooler thanks to the PO heehawing the oil filter cap on at approximately Two Hulk Sized Hernias.

Made up for it by buying a rack for it too.

Adventures in pentastar JKU ownership.

Intermittent no start, high idle.

Now it won't start at all.
Fuel pump does its thing. Cranks healthily. Tacho bounces during cranking. Live data shows throttle accepting input but no engine speed during cranking.
Pull a coil plug, no spark.


Auto shutdown relay failed. It supplies high side power to the coils and the injectors. Swapped it with one for the hvac system and drove to a parts store.

This platform is so loving wacky. There's so much early '00s era parts binned chrysler poo poo strewn about. The headunit is straight up out of 2005 and touts having a 40GB platter hard drive.

I too was like ... this has an ASD relay? Like from the 90s? why? The TIPM has fets. What the gently caress Cryco.

The term used for tipm failures is 'psychotic'. Fuckin thing can burn up fuel pumps, destroy doorlocks, and deploy airbags when it goes.

ok, but whats the upside?

A spark and jeep shopping.
Under torque and coast since those bolts are now out the carrier will not have the rigidity it once had. That'll wreck a gearset and bearings. Even if it didn't appear such, we do not know. This thing turns gear leveraged engine power ninety degrees.


With the double cardan bearing and all the locker shenanigans, throw a r&p and new bearings in there too. Sorry it all sucks but uh yeah. Doing it two or three times really sucks.

I understand being cheap or on a budget, unless you're really good at reading bearing or gear surface wear.... don't.

The Jeep, with 70 thousand miles on it started to eat its power steering pump. It was louder than any Ford unit I've ever encountered.
2/10 beer job on the Pentastar. Took maybe 45 mins start to finish. The hydraulic tensioner is a bear. It's stout enough to crack my elbow in ways that don't sound good.

Button it back up. Still howls. Ah dammit.
Couple hundred miles later the new pump noise is gone.

Self healing Jeeps make me uneasy.

It kind of looks like a ZF clone. I'm gonna do a teardown of the old one to see if there's ways I can improve it. Because at $350 bucks and 70k-miles, that's kinda terrible. The one on my million mile ford is original, loud as it may be.
