Hi guys, Finally getting around to installing the Gen III hydros. It all looks the same as my Gen II set up?! I am having a hell of a time getting the master cylinder to lock into the firewall. Any tips?? The G56 is still doing great! I love the even splits between gears. Seabee

Good thing I don't drink anymore Gary! I know the ritual to clear it, but it seems to "re-learn" it's bad habits. Especially after it has sat for several weeks, as it often does................

I have the Spyntec kit on mine. I really like it and was due on one front unit bearing at the time (136K). I think my kit was $1500.00. I HATE unit bearings and am WAY old school, so it was any easy decision. Also, I will never sell the truck, so it's a long term investment for me.

Interesting. Many times when I first set mine, it will accelerate 5-10MPH over set speed. Sometimes it will keep accelerating! I have to hit the brakes, slow down, reset and see what happens. Sometimes it takes around 8-10 resets before it settles down. Lately it has been working well, so I hope...

I would love to buy another set of NOS rims for my pickup as spares! I don't like any other rim any better.

Everything is working great! I made a speed run up to Chicago to get a Jeep XJ and hauled it back at 80 MPH. The trans never got over 195 degrees at 90F ambient. I do have one Fast cooler on the 6 speed. It has taken a little getting used to the new shift tower. The spring loading of the gates...

Well, FINALLY got the front driveshaft back! $475.00!! That did include a new tube and complete rebuild with new joints, so I'm not as surprised with the $$. I need to install it and make sure all is well with the 4X4. I don't expect any issues.............

Thanks Gary. Always good to hear from you!

Hi Guys, FINALLY got my driveshafts back. Well, one of them! Two months and $400.00 for ONE shaft! Fing ridiculous! They are currently "looking for" my front driveshaft!!!!!!!! EVERY time I farm out any work I am severely disappointed. I could have shortened the rear driveshaft myself, but I...

Everything is buttoned up. Just waiting on the driveshafts to come back from the shop. I used an aftermarket shifter that does not interfere with the transfercase lever! I have not put the boots back on yet, because I wanted to test drive first and look/listen for a few miles. Hopefully done...

I agree Gary! My "workshop" only has a 10' ceiling. My "storage" shop has a 12' ceiling. I would like to buy a 4 post lift, but it would only work in the storage shop. I guess I could drag tools back and forth, but seems a pain. The good news is that I could put one Jeep up on the lift and have...

Well, I got back from Ohio a day early and decided to install the trans. I spent a few hours fabbing up a plate for my floor jack to be able to do it by myself. The hole in the plate is for the nub on the trans bottom to sit into. By installing the trans mount, it was able to drill two holes...

That is good news. I ran the stock hydros on the NV4500 SBC clutch. You could feel a little more pedal pressure was required, but worked great. I know I need to put on a new set up soon, especially with the truck being nearly 26 years old! Hard to believe.............

Thanks Gary. I test fitted the crossmember to the trans/transfercase and had plenty of clearance. I have the new SBC G56 OK HD clutch installed. I tried to take a look at installing the Gen 3 hydraulics. Honestly, I almost threw my back out getting under the dash! Am I correct that the stock...

I have a very low mile (<30K) Stage 1 clutch set up for sale. Excellent condition and never abused . I am upgrading to a G56 and the clutch won't fit it. The marks you see are slight discoloration that can't even by felt. May just be the organic disc material transfer to the steel as it...

I have completed the mods to the crossmember and made the tcase shifter mount. I have been distracted with getting my GPW ready for the Willys reunion this Friday. Did a test tow with my 52 Willys Delivery and broke the mainshaft in the transmission!! I think God is trying to tell me...

Well, the new clutch et up arrived today! I went ahead and ordered the complete kit with the later HD hydraulics. I am going to adapt the new master cylinder to my 97. It can't be that hard to accomplish?!?!
