Matt, this video helped me a bunch pulling mine today on a 1990 Jeep Cherokee 2wd base model. Thanks for your efforts producing these videos.

my little brother and I wrenched a 41te automatic tranny out of a chrysler town and country with no jacks or powertools. just hand tools and the wheel barrel. When we hit day 2, yeah it took us 2 days, it finally dropped into the barrel with the help of a little crowbar looking thing that I found. One of the part pullers guys just happened to be walking by when we dropped it out and he was like"Oh you got to love that sound," because it was loud It was like, BANG Bang! But all in all it was a good time spending time with little bro.

Matt knows alot on Jeeps and he is so willing to share his knowledge. Man should be a online Jeep Mechanics Instructor.

Yes, "for safety reasons you are not allowed to bring a jack to the yard". Makes sense. Some places will let you use rolling jacks though. Once place I used to frequent had floor jacks with rubber tires. They were always gone though and usually left out in the yard...

Love this guy! Keep making videos you have potential!!

After all that energy used, I had to give the video a like. Thanks for sharing your expertise Matt.

Good job Mat thanks for all the info I’m pulling a Transmission from the Durango right now and I know there’s a couple bolts up top the ones that you have missed good job

I love your video. It teaches to save big dollars by showing how to removing transfer case, and transmission improvising with what you can have because your outside of the shop, or home. Wrecking yard price for transmission no more than 200$ with warranty, used transmission that is already pulled 800$ plus.

That's what stubby ratchet wrenches are for. TSC around Black Friday sells gearwrench sets with SAE and Metric, both regulars and Stubbies for about $120 a set. Awesome deal well worth it

'For safety, you can't use jacks' I love it! And yes, in a twisted way, I do understand.

I work at a shop where we pull 5-10 transmissions and rebuild them per week. The transfer case on Chevys and smaller dodges that don't have the nut or bolt on the very bottom before I let the crossmember loose. Rest the front shaft end of the T-case on your knees and use that to direct it. Slide the T-case slowly back until the alignment dowel comes out and get a good grip on the main part and slowly lower it onto your legs and then turn it gently and roll it off of you....lot easier to do. I'm not a strong guy and I can take them down and put them back up without much issue...it's about technique. And remember before you ever let go of that transfer case when you are putting it in, ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS have 1 bolt minimum holding it in place...

Big help thanks.....great video!

I’ve seen some people use large ratchet straps strung under the trans/TC case to support whichever your taking out.

If you are planning on going to a junk yard and pulling a transmission expecting it to work, I wouldn't waste my time. May as well either part out what is left of your jeep or pay a shop to rebuild the one you already have, unless you just want to pull a possible junk one at the yard to rebuild and be ready to drop in...err...lift in.

For inverted torx I just pick a dollar store socket that's tight and hammer it on. It'll work in a pinch but the socket ain't gonna last too long.

check the trunks of the cars you can ussually find a jack in the salvage yard.

Hi i jist want to replace the flexplate, so. Do i need to remove all the trany or its a simple way to do it? My xj is 2wd

There's some serious irony going on in not allowing you to bring a transmission jack, but still allowing you to pull a transmission like that. That's VERY shady. The last time I went to one of those places I think they rented jacks for next to nothing. There's also a bit of a fail going on with forgetting to disconnect several bolts and the shifter linkage.

Damn, I hope 4 u that's a good working trans. That's a workout in those conditions

Seems like this would've been safer with something like Idk.... A DAMN JACK!

where does the TV or kickdown cable attach on the transmission? mine broke and i need to replace it

Good job that sucks cant use a floor Jack you got it anyway 👍😃

the crossmember on the jeep wagons only have that center piece with 2 bolts on each side .so my question is why dont more people cut their big skid down and attach so liter metal to cover a little more or not and just use the center beefed up part like on a 99 tj and many more.? instead of that huge heavy factory skid? Have you ever did anything like im speakin of or know anybody who has.Thank for all great stuff!!!

love your channel but damn, no rust.. I need to come there!!

on my suburban the crossmember the trans is on sits inside the frame rails and the trans has to be lifted up off of it before it can be removed?

Almost every junk yard doesn't allow Jacks to be used because people don't know how to use them in the dirt or uneven ground. You wouldn't understand if you question why unless you lift a car off a dead man. Using old rims or any metal in that situation makes sense unless you never been there

Is the output speed sensor on a 93/94 transmission compatible with a 96 XJ?

Can I make up new tranny cooling lines to the ends or can I buy them complete after market?? Thanks Dandahermit

Hi, I've been watching your cash withdrawal video. I have a question if you can help me: my cherokee xj is year 96 4.0 and the box is faulty, they offer me a box but it is year 90, it is the same model 30 43LE. Are they compatible for the year and their electrical connections? Saludos 🇨🇱

@wildbill23c

Make sure the transmission has fluid in it. Other than that if it isn't moving its time for a replacement or rebuild. Not cheap at all, which is why so many vehicles are scrapped either the engine fails or the transmission fails, and neither are cheap and usually cost more than the vehicle is worth to have replaced/repaired.

They won’t let you use a floor jack for safety reasons but they’ll let you pull a transmission with a vehicle resting on rims, pulling bolts from crossmembers that can crush you when they let go .....all in the name of safety. The junk yard must be owned by Californian politicians. Love the vids🎄

hi, i bought a '95 laredo 5.2 full time 4x4 for $500 but it has no reverse (166,000 miles). i found a '95 dakota 5.2 4x4 (175,000 miles) at pull-a-part, i think it has the 231d transfer case (i couldn't get the tag clean enough to read it). if i use the transmission and transfer case from the dakota am i going to have to custom make new drive shafts or should all this swap out pretty easy? any other issues you for-see me having?
