Forum: AWD Magna / Verada

Hi all, I bought a KJ AWD Verada a week ago and I think the valve stem seals are pretty warn, it only has 223,000 k's which is ok for its age, but its very fumey, if it idles for 5 minutes then I give it a rev a bush fire comes out the exhaust, LOL, I did flush the motor and put HPR10 in it but...

hi all, i have been offered a set of extractors (pacemakers) and was just wondering if their was a set for the FWD and a set for the AWD or are they all the same?......they are cumin off a FWD if that helps, i am brain dead when it cums to this sort of stuff, tryed searchin but could not...

So guys I was just curious, since I've found out where the clunking noise is coming from, is the 3rd gen rear trailing arms, AWD and fwd ones look rather the same? Are they interchangeable? And are they easy to remove without dropping the tank as the bolt that holds the trailing arm to the body is...

EOI for AMC////AWD stickers! I've asked maggie3.5 if he could get some AWD stickers like the AMC////380 and state ones. I know of at least 3 WA members who would want a pair each, we need at least 10 to make the order. So post here if you would like some :)

I recenty bought an '05 Verada AWD. When test driving it I didn't notice any problems but when I purchased it a few weeks later I noticed the auto gear changes are quite rough. There's no unusual noise but it just gives you a sharp shove when it changes up. The lower the gear the worse the change....

Hi Everyone, Just wondering what type of setup people use to extend the factory auto trans coolers in an AWD TJ? As in: - How do you hook the lines up? Sizes of fittings etc... - What size of cooler is suitable for the job? This is for a car that I have been using in small Rally...

Exciting news; I've decided to upgrade the KL with a 380 motor. Well, exciting for me anyway, lol. The new 380 motor has only 41k's on it, but thats not the reason for the swap. If you've read my past posts you will know that I've found the 6G74, 3.5 engine struggles a bit with shifting the...

Yeah, so my AWD has been neglected for the past few weeks while I put in driving hours in the 380. I have a feeling the AWD now sees itself as the "ex" and it must give me hell for spending more time with a younger model. I've had to jump start it a few times recently. But, I've made a point...

i have 2004 tl awd and would like to fit pumpup rear shockers has anyone done this? any recommendations ?thanks peter

Hi guys, Does the AWD Magna/Verada have a larger brake master cylinder size? What does the brake pedal feel like in an AWD Vs FWD car?

Hey guys. Just thought i would let you know that i just picked up some Bendix Ultimates from Repco on Special. Aparently they are clearing out their storages of them and no longer going to hold them in stock. DB1223 Fronts RRP$297. I paid $125 DB1231 Rears RRP $186. I paid $70. Don't...

hey im just wondering on my 03 tj awd what would be needed to return the brakes back to single piston? apart from the caliper and rotor is there nothing else required to put a tf magnas brakes on to the tj awd?

Hey everyone, I know there is probably a million posts on here about CAI's so im sorry. But im having no luck on finding much in the way of a guide or similar, and especially nothing AWD oriented in this dept.. I have a K&N Panel which is a massive improvement from stock but, still not quite...

Anyone know where I can buy a pair of AWD front caliper kits? Apart from Genuine? I'm in the Newcastle area. Local brake place where I bought the QFM pads doesn't have a listing for the calipers and the PBR book at Repco has the Fwd and Awd as having the same caliper. Had a bit of trouble...

Simple question really. The AWD floor carpet needs replacing as it has a hole in it. Can I just pick up an eBay special with this, or, do I need to source an AWD carpet?

I've just recently did a full transmission power flush with mitsu and is about to book my car in with them for the rear diff oil change as well. My car has done about 105000km and has the timing belt changed at 100000km What other oil/s do i need to change? Need to find out so that i can do...

just wondering how do you change the colour of the dash cluster is a tj awd sports, it has no globes

hey guys, wondering if anybody knows if its possible to convert a FWD into an AWD using a wrecked AWD? other than exhaust, driveline and fuel tank are there any other aspects im missing? even better, anybody know someone whos tried / done this ? thanks

I've searched the forums but can't see anything specific on this topic. Recently my mechanic replaced the front CVs on my TJ Sports AWD as they were buggered. The left one was replaced easily enough. But he had a terrible time locating the right hand CV. His parts supplier kept sending him...
