You get a grinding noise when downshifting in your 1994 Jeep Wrangler Why?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It possible that youre still going too fast to get into that gear. The clutch and pilot bearing could worn out also. Good luck.

for each speed and gear there is a specific speed at which it is safe to downshift to the next gear with a known blip strength. being human you cant be perfect and know exactly what blip strength will do right for just about any speed to any lower gear (demanding the car shift whenever you feel like it), So you have to simplify things a bit and make it known where you can get away with doing the same blip all the way on down the line. the most gentle blip possible. shifting wherever the car feels like it. You gotta jump through some circus hoops. the car is a whole lot more picky than you ever thought and if you arent willing or able to make repeatable very high blips, then your options will be all the more limited and shifting slow and drawn out. which is the norm.

use the gear ratios in conjunction with the final drive ratio to make a graph of the vehicle speed to rpms. find discreet speeds where there are 300 rpm differences. and then use post it notes to mark on the speedometer where those places are. if you cant do that, just secure a copy of a manual displaying a speed to rpm wrt gear graph. i know it sounds riduculous. on the track yo dont worry because you expect damage while full out. but you are on the road, you have to be gentle or incur the wrath of the mechanic touching your wallet.

in rpms and mph that formula is 6.51*k*V/r = Wrpm where k = gear ratio of chosen gear x final drive ratio, and r = radius (IN FEET) of your rear wheel(s).

the final equation to find those exact spots is V= (dW*r)/(k2-k1)6.51 where k2 is the effective gear ratio for the chosen lower gear to shift into. and k1 is the gear you inhabit before the shift. dW is the supposed blip you wish to use in rpm's.

there should be 4 of these spots for a 5 speed, and if you change the dW by 10% and recompute either way, you will get the range, the bands you will see.

the point is, you arent missing out if you arent using the tachometer. things happen too fast in shifting to rely on that. you rely on the speedometer and sure enough there are little 'bands' that if your needle rests inside of that band, it is safe to downshift with a known force of blip, most notably, for me on the streets, the softest one. its really just a soft stroke of the gas. it stands for about 300 rpms on a small tacoma.

the band for 5 to 4 is wide and very forgiving (it lies farthest out). 4 to 3 is a bit smaller and lies towards a lower speed. 3 to 2 is a little hitler mustache of a zone (probably near 20-30). Sooo small and all alone. 2nd to first is like splitting hairs, you do it with such gentleness and even then you get a slow kick in the butt. that sir, is a 2 mph wide zone somewhere inbetween 0 and 10mph.

the math is grueling if you dont make a graph of it, but with the post it note appliques you should be able to do very close to perfect downshifts even in tight and hairy traffic conditions where you kind of need it the most.

on the track its one size fits all and you follow by ear and you know in what gear each turn must be taken because things move too fast even to look at the speedometer.

The drain passage for the AC Evaporator is plugged. This causes the box under the dash to build up condensation (water) & flood the floor. You need to open up the lower dash & clean out the box & drainhole. If you don't, mold & mildew will grow.

THIS BULLETIN SUPERSEDES TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 24-007-03, DATED

AUGUST 15, 2003, WHICH SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM YOUR FILES. ALL

REVISIONS ARE HIGHLIGHTED WITH **ASTERISKS** AND INCLUDE CHANGES TO

THE TJ MODEL YEARS AND TO THE PART REQUIRED.

SUBJECT:

HVAC Drain Water Leaks Inside Vehicle And Under Passenger Side Front Carpet

OVERVIEW:

This bulletin involves installing a HVAC drain hose.

MODELS:

2002 (KJ) Liberty (Domestic Market)

2002 (KJ) Cherokee (International Market)

1997 - **2005** (TJ) Wrangler

NOTE: This bulletin applies to LHD Liberty vehicles built prior to August 10, 2001

(MDH 0810XX), and to Wrangler vehicles built prior to March 01, 2005 (MDH

0301XX).

SYMPTOM/CONDITION:

The customer may experience a wet front passenger floor or floor carpet. This condition

may occur due to water (A/C condensate) from the HVAC assembly drain tube. As A/C

condensate leaves the HVAC drain tube, it may run back along the outside of the HVAC

drain tube, enter the passenger compartment, and run under the front floor carpet on the

passenger side. This condition may occur most often while the vehicle is being driven.

DIAGNOSIS:

Inspect for the source of the water leak. Determine if the passenger side of the front floor

carpet is wet because of air conditioning condensate from the HVAC drain tube. Inspect

the HVAC assembly drain tube for the presence of a drain hose. If a HVAC assembly drain

hose is not present, and the A/C condensate from the drain tube is the cause of the water

leak, then perform the Repair Procedure.

NUMBER: 24-003-05

GROUP: Heating & A/C

DATE: February 04, 2005

PARTS REQUIRED:

Qty. Part No. Description

1 55037651AA **Hose, HVAC Drain (KJ)**

1 56000724AB **Hose, HVAC Drain (TJ)**

1 NPN Strap, Tie

REPAIR PROCEDURE:

1. Inspect the HVAC drain tube. Clean out any debris or other restrictions in the drain.

2. Install a HVAC drain hose onto the HVAC drain tube. Once assembled to the HVAC

drain tube, make sure the open end of the drain hose is facing towards the ground.

3. Install a tie strap around the drain hose to secure the hose to the HVAC drain tube.

NOTE: Inform the customer to regularly inspect the new HVAC drain hose for debris,

especially when off-road driving is performed JEEP PASSENGER SIDE LEAKS Beside the Service Bulletin for the clogged A/C drain, another source of leaks is attributed to the air intake box for the heater/ac. To access, remove the wiper blades and remove 4 screws on cover just aft of the hood. Open the hood and slide the hood seal (on the aft bulkhead) to expose 2 additional screws. Remove the tray and the intake box will be on the passengers side. Remove the 3 screws securing the box and remove. Look down into the intake and you will see water in the box if the foam seal on the cover is leaking. I applied silicone sealant on the foam gasket and a bead around base, as well as covering the screw holes. Re-install the box and secure. Wipe excess silicone to assure a seal around the box. No mores leaks.

How do you change shocks on a 1992 jeep wrangler?

User Avatar

Asked by Artimana

With the proper tools & patience, this should not be too difficult if you have moderate mechanical skills. First start about a week BEFORE you plan to take them off and soak them with PB Blaster or another good penetrating oil (WD-40 is NOT a penetrating oil but a moisture dispersant). The get breaker bars & AIR TOOLS. Be gentle. If these will not loosen the bolts & nuts, take it to a shop & have them do it cause they will probably need to torch the shocks off (the extreme heat ex[ands the nuts so they can be loosened. But by soaking the nuts/bolts for about a week, it usually allows them to be broken loose with the tools most people have available. Then buy some GOOD shcks to put on. I put on Edlebrocks & was amazed at the ride difference in my 1991 Wrangler. Of course they also cost about $75 each so were not cheap but worth it in my opinion. I liked them so much I also used Edlebrock when I replaced my Yukon's shocks. If you decide to do it yourself, make sure you practice good safety. Use jack stands and make sure vehicle is solid on them BEFORE pulling tires & crawling underneath.

Should the front drive-shaft in a '96 Cherokee turn while only in 2WD?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

4WD shouldn't be operated while on dry concrete or asphalt. Not only does it affect steering, it also wears tires and can stress the drive train. While you should be able to turn the steering, the vehicle will tend to drag when you try to take a turn if it's in 4WD.

Gas leak for a 1992 Jeep Wrangler?

Asked by Wiki User

For a gas leak a person needs to check the gas line, along with a few other things. They need to check the seals, the pumps, and the fuel filter, to see where it is coming from, and then replace the part.
