Cons:
-Oil pressure gauge on the dash broke, but the sensor has been swapped. Engine runs strong and shifts great. There are no oil pressure issues.
-Transmission leaks and it leaks on the exhaust which then smokes. Previous owner notated a possible cracked transmission housing, but I cannot find the crack. Included is a spare complete XJ AW4 transmission. The current transmission still shifts great and runs strong though. I just top off fluids if need be.
-The flex plate is noisy. I had a Jeep mechanic friend look at it and he thinks it is the flex plate. I have put a stethoscope on the bell housing and oil pan and I can hear the noise coming from the bell housing which is where the flex plate is. This would be swapped out when the trans is swapped out anyways. It makes a ticking sound which sounded exactly how my other jeep sounded before I swapped the flex plate. You are welcome to do any tests you need.
-needs motor mounts. The mounts are visibly bad and it shakes. You can see this when you rev it when it is in park and when driving. But it does not have suspension issues. You can drive this with one finger down the road. The suspension is tight with new parts
-needs steering wheel front cover/airbag
-needs windshield
