For once i can say it sucks to be you!!!




You should ride with me to pick my Jeep up tomorrow. The bill has climbed a bit since they found the trashed cluster gear. Probably total $1800 or so. I will cry handing over the cash. Thinking of the Voodoo I could have had instead. Dammitt I can't wait till I'm rich!!!!! [:/]

What year is that Jeep, and do you have any mechanical ability at all?



It's an 82. I do a lot of stuff myself but tearing apart the insides of a transmission is not something I'm going to get into. I replaced the clutch about 5 years ago and even with a shop full of every tool on the planet it was a MAJOR pain in the ass. Have any idea how much an SR-4 tranny and Dana 300 transfer case weigh. I don't either but it's a lot!!! The bearings on the main shaft were toast. So, that means you might as well replace ALL the bearings with it. The bad bearings chewed the cluster gear to crap. A cluster gear was $400 all by it's lonesome. [:/] I WOULD have to break one of the most expensive gears in the thing!!! That tranny lasted a little over 7 years or so though. I can't complain too much.

Well, the year does help in the ability to find cheaper parts than what was quoted by your mechanic. Have you tried looking on line for used replacements, that are usually quite cheap?
Even if you don't do the work yourself (though I would), it would be alot cheaper to just pay for the labor, than the labor and the inflated parts prices

The biggest problem is that I got pretty lucky in buying a Jeep with the "Bullet Proof" drive train. Unfortunately, that also means that the parts can be hard to find. Although, I just did a search on Quadratec and found that cluster gear for $210. I'm not sure of the exact total on it from the shop but I know it was $300 and something dollars. So, yeah...I could have gotten it cheaper through them. The worst part is....it's my freakin transportation and I can't wait around forever on shopping and shipping of parts. It's already been in the shop since Monday. Luckily my brother let me drive his car to work but I hate doing that. Plus, with crap like transmission parts it can be a real pain in the ass to get the "right" part. It's a J.E.E.P.........Just Empty Every Pocket...[:/]

PS...I just noticed something else. They have a 37 tooth but not the 35. With my luck.....I have the 35...:D

Have you searched any of the online "used" parts dealers?




Haven't done that. Although I was just surfing around and found a couple interesting pages. I think I might try and find a metal hood!!! One without the huge dent in it....B|



That's what the net is for! Use it!

Besides, what better do you have to do while at work?

Nice pic......I wonder if I could get those two to stop by my office and dial my phone for me. "Work Safe" only counts for URL's. Nobody will look at something like www.dropzone.com/42kl14hdfal/boobies/=557895734953......;)

that's ok clay, we'll "tow the line for ya" this wekend!!!



Actually, I never thought I would say something like this but....it really doesn't bother me to take a weekend off. I kinda needed it. I have been jumping every single weekend since something like Christmas. Not always a lot of jumps per weekend but always at the DZ. I'm kinda burned out. This will be good for me to catch up on my school work. So I can graduate, make more money, and have much more time off to jump!!!!
