Nick's POS thread.

[USMC 0369]

[COLOR="darkred"]Hey guys, I have a question. I think it's my exhaust that is making the transmission too hot... how do I fix this? I don't want to lower my exhaust pipe as it gets beaten up enough as it is. Is there a thicker transmission pan or something I can use to keep the heat away from the transmission? Perhaps my exhaust is routed incorrectly, as I don't hear about this problem from other YJ owners.[/COLOR]

I doubt that the exhaust is contributing that much to the tranny temp, but it might be. How about a heat shield? A piece of sheet metal mounted in between the exhaust pipe and the tranny.

[COLOR="darkred"]I guess I'm just at a loss as to why my trans is heating up as it is. Hey! You're supposed to be in Colorado!?[/COLOR]

We leave today. If you want to find out if the exhaust has anything to do with the heat issue, go to homo depot and get a piece of sheet metal. Make a heat shield to fit between the exhaust and the tranny. Simple dimple man...

[COLOR="darkred"]I'll give it a try!

Have fun out there. Keep it on the tires man.[/COLOR]

Nick, one question... Does your gas gauge work? If it does, I may have to have you look at mine

[COLOR="darkred"] I replaced mine when it stopped working with an AutoMeter gauge. Sorry. [/COLOR]

Quick hijack. Do you happen to have the part number or remember where you got it from? Was it a straight swap? Thanks. We now return to our regularly scheduled POS thread...

[COLOR="darkred"]I actually think I got it at NAPA or Auto Zone... You just need to make sure the ohms line up correctly. If my memory serves, it's a 0 full and 90 empty gauge that you need. I don't have my Chilton's Manual in front of me though.[/COLOR]

Oh Nick, you don't know the can o'worms I'm about to open. I have been putting off pulling the tranny to fix a leak and to see what a 140k mile clutch, plate, and thrust bearing look like. While that whole mess is out I just might take a peek inside the T/C. I've got noises that I've narrowed down to the transmission area and I'm not surprised that something inside hasn't grenaded out of the side of the case. I haven't been easy on the whole shebang and I think I'm starting to pay for it.

[COLOR="darkred"]Well, I've really learned some hard lessons with regard to my drivetrain. If you haven't had your fingers in there for a while...evil is plotting on you.

Alternatively, if I put my fingers into the wiring...evil is waiting to trip me up.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="darkred"]I told 6spdYJ I'd take a picture of my dash with the Autometer guage in it. It's not pretty, but it works. I'd recommend a new gauge cluster if you're going to replace anything. They're not as expensive as my route.[/COLOR]

[color="darkred"]Also, for YJReed, I got the wiring for the automatic transmission neutral cutout switch. Here is what I recieved:[/color]
