Well yesturday I replaced the chain in a scrapyard tc that I picked up for $50 and the chain off of Ebay for $40 with free shipping. It's all put back together awaiting for me to install it in my 95 XJ. Today I removed the gas tank and commenced the install of the new tank but now I'm stuck till tomorrow until I go and get some new tank strap bolts. BTW I picked up the new tank with straps off of Ebay for $120 free shipping.

Do a search, quite a few people have done them, and a lot of threads have been posted.

Supposed to help idle and mileage

the p.o. overfilled the tranny. I noticed it about 3 weeks after i had it. I've only had it about 2 months. so yesterday i lubed the frontend and drained about a pint of t-fluid. It was blowing out of the overflow,i assume. i noticed some fluid on my front frame rail. so i figured it was time to fix it. i checked all the lines and they were dry.

I also had to fix my power door lock. It would not lock when the panel was on. I ended up bending the rod some to gain some clearence. Couldn't really tell why it was hanging up, but its fixed now.

I also took some lithium grease and did all the door jambs and the hood cable and latches.

Where did you pick up the 32T gear from? I haven't looked for one yet so I figured I would ask. Might save me some time looking.
