Manual transmission Fan Club and BS thread (All Generations Welcome)

Let us know how they work out Bro.

 

Will do, they're brand new...got them for 50 bux each. What's stock OR? 4600?

 

I am not sure about that, was thinking the stockers were not an off the shelf shock.

 

Yep, Off-Road has 4600 shocks from the factory.

Thank you for the info, learn something new every day.

 

I was led to believe that the only difference between 5100s and stockers is the adjustable height without any noticeable difference in ride. This true?

 

Unknown...also my stock ones of the Sport are Hitachi. And these are definitely a larger girth than the hitachi

 

Ride difference is substantially different.

 

Hahaha! You said girth.

 

I beavis'd lol

 

Second gen problems, disregard.

 

Nuh uhn...not gonna disregard. I was eagerly looking for responses to this discussion. MT transcends all generations in here

 

Then let me tell you this. I find shifting much easier and smoother when in 4wheel drive.

 

HA! Fvcking 2nd gen PoS!

 

Suckend Gen, you say?

They go great with my Turd Gen.

 

I know it's been beaten to death but besides a new trans what's the best fix for the TOB chirp? 95k on mine and it's driving me crazy. I hear the URD sleeve kit only lasts 15k, OEM bearing replacement is about the same. I looked for the bellhousing part # to buy that (since the shaft isn't replaceable and comes already installed in that part) but I couldn't find it. I'd be OK with replacing the bellhousing+ shaft + bearing if it would keep the problem away for 80-85k miles which is when the noise showed up but ugh this is annoying!

 

@gearcruncher has a great write up on this topic.

I looked in history to find, damn it was a link from just a day or so....

 

Third gen should fix your problem...
