My 2001 TJ magnas gearbox died last week and the first mechanic I've seen had quoted between $2200 just for the labour. I'm heading towards scrapping the car but wanted to see what you legends thought about how hard it is to change the gearbox out myself or if I should find a better mechanic. ...

I cant get my TW sedan boot open with the remote or the release in the glovebox.I can hear the motor in the boot whirring the usual sound and have tried gentle levering while better half pushes the release but no good. I am on gas so trying to access via hatch in rear seat meets a brick wall....

Magna TF 1997 V6 3.0. 140,000 km. Sorry for my English in advance. All was good until it started to stumble pretty bad after waiting on a light some day. Hardly managed to get home.

Have a lot of oil under the car and it seems the main culprit is around the power steering pump area near the firewall where the hoses connect. Thing is power steering fluid is only slightly low yet the whole area underneath that is completely covered in oil and it looks like it's coming from...

Title pretty much says it all Seen a few posts about the 3.8(75) intake being "modded" for the 3.5 (74) but can not for the life of me find an instructional write up. Basically I wanna know What requires modifying to make it fit 74? Do I need new throttle cable? Are the mating surfaces the...

Hi, My wagon has done around 250000. Sometimes it bottoms out with a loud bang when entering driveways etc. The bump stops are completely disintergrated so could this be a possible cause? Anyway I thinking of replacing the bump stops, strut mount berarings and fitting Sachs shockers. I...
