Unable to align shift forks in 88 Suzuki Samurai?

I had the same problem. The problem is caused by a ball that keeps the 2 forks locked in their respective position. I took the transfer case apart and found this problem. You can unlock the forks by using a screwdriver in 1 of the slots of just one of the forks and forcing it to unlock, it will take some force to do this, but is easier than taking apart the transfer case.

How do you remove the instrument bezel cover on a suzuki samurai?

4 hex head bolts at the 4 corners of the instrument panel bezel. I think Haynes says you have to pull the steering wheel off to remove the instrument panel, but I have pulled them out many times with the steering wheel in place...you just have to literally pull down on the steering wheel a bit while you are removing the instrument cluster. By the way, there were TWO different instrument panels used, at least in the 1986 version. One, the deluxe one, had a tachometer, the other did not. They are interchangeable...I bought a 'deluxe' one from a junkyard and it went right place of my original...even the tachometer wiring was all in place in the harness and connectors, so for very little money I 'upgraded' to having a tachometer...of course, that meant my odometer was no longer right. But since I kept the car until I had 250,000 miles on it, no one would have been concerned with the "real" odometer reading anyway...it had gone around 2.5 times already.

How do you install shifter into samurai transmission?

This should be really simple, if you've already removed all of the bolts which hold the shifter in including the one behind the shifter hole in the trans, the shifter should slide right down into the transmission (provided the transmission was in neutral when you pulled the shifter)

Why does a 1988 samurai cut off after warm up I have had it worked on by the dealer. They have removed the fuel tank cleaned flushed the lines and replaced the fuel pump. They don't know?

Your question is not very specific on details, but I will give an answer to my problem. Sometimes when driving, especially on bumps, my engine would die. Would restart after a very long wait. I determined that it might be flooding, so I replaced the black plastic float which is known to soak up fuel on other vehicles, and no more problems.

Can you fit an overdrive unit on 1988 sj410 4 speed manual?

I don't think there is room to put an overdrive in a Zuke, I've seen most of the aftermarket overdrive units and all the OD's I've seen would be way to big. There are transmissions with different fifth gear ratios, one trans has a higher fifth gear than the other. Guys with the 33" and bigger tires usually run the lower ratio fifth gear. You can ether swap the trans or swap the fifth gear in your trans if it has the lower ratio fifth gear in it. That might help, if I remember right its only about 300rpm difference.
