  1. You know its funny, I told the wife that I could lift my Pathy for cheap, because she likes to go off road. But she said no. Then we saw this nice Jeep all fixed up with a winch and lift and all the goodies and she said that she would love one so we could go off roading. go figure.

    I see an opening! :lol: I think you can get it done.... :aok:

  2. When you say movement are you talking about the axle or wheels moving in some way they're not suppose to? Everything seems solid back there.

     

    Yup, sometimes some bushing (rubber) maybe worn out in the rear end and the veh. will sway when you gun it or slam brakes and it may clunk or whatever. all that stuff is in proximity.

     

    Oil change is def in order just to see what it looks like. If you have a lot of metal shavings in the oil, well you know you have trouble. If you have the orange sticker then 80w90 with lsd additive.

  3. diesel boy, matterhorn, exactly. If you rev and only very slowly (dragging) engage the clutch that's what wears the clutch the most.

     

    I normally only use the clutch for 1st gear when accelerating and when coming to stop to dis-engage. otherwise i just slip out of a gear and into the next one letting off on the gas a bit. on downshift you have to rev the motor up, 3k or so, and it slips right in. hardly any wear on the clutch.

     

    Sooo, even when going out you can still make the necessary trips.

  4. Simon,

     

    picked one up today. fits nice allthough you kind of have to squeez it in there a bit. slevin maybe that the same thing in your case.

     

    it does seem that if it's centered on the brake it's closer a bit to the drivers seat though. hmm? did you guys just run the screws through or is there other means of attachment?

  5. In second, 3rd, and 4th gears, as I would get moving, the engine would accelerate faster than the car as if the clutch were slipping. Checking Chilton's and Haynes repair manuals, it sounds like is tis a worn pressure plate or clutch plate, or an oil soaked clutch plate. It could also be debris int e master cylinder, a damaged clutch hydraulic line, or a weakor damaged diaphragm spring.

     

    Sounds like clutch slippage which means it's going. How many miles?

     

    You can do it but alot of stuff has to be removed. Tranny is very heavy too. You may be able to just scoot it a bit and have enough room to do the clutch without complitely dropping the darn thing but not really sure on the Pathy; I have on a couple of Fords.

    Make sure you put in all new parts while you are in there (clutch plate, throw out bearing, seal...)

     

    Also, the clutch fluid res. is right against the fire wall below brake master cylinder. Follow those lines to check to make sure you didn't crimp one if you've been offroading. Check the fluid level, maybe even change it. -study-

     

    Good luck and plan on at least a couple of days. It's a bigger job (time consuming) then it may seem, unless you have an impact...

  6. The information I posted above tells IN GREAT DETAIL how to use and tune your CB antenna. :)

    In too much great detail. :o I just cound't read all of that at once. Quick scan didn't reveal anything about it. Anyway thanks 88. good info as always. :clap:

  7. Air is a fluid ha? Now I have heard everything. lol I wasn't a big fan of chem but must've slept through physics...

     

    As to the chalk test: it works great only if your allignement is good. Of course that will show if it isn't right. I've used the chalk test for checking allignement for years.

     

    With higher tire pressure you get better MPGs too. For offroading lower it a bit for more surface area exposure - more traction. way lower for sand...
