Thanks. I have swapped in a known good one (more than one, both new and from other locations) and it is still that cylinder. Going to check the injector (and clean it with the home brew setup, which should be fun) - one reason I posted is I do not know exactly how the P0354 is detected, and...

I had the same situation on a 2003. I pulled the whole motor(I wanted to anyway) and carted it to my machine shop guy who promptly popped it out with a much better slide hammer than mine. I spent hours trying, it seems like it is hard to get a good straight slide with it in the vehicle. My kit...

Greetings. I am trying to chase down a persistent P0354 and I have a few questions for anyone who would like to chime in. Basics: 03 Liberty with > 170K. Changed the clutch last year and due to a stubborn pilot bearing I pulled the whole motor, and did some basic cleanup of the wiring etc. Was...

Update - finally reassembled and the old flywheel works great. I feel like a learned a little about how to judge them, so anyone seeing this thread in the future, if you want a second opinion on your, post a pic and I will try to reply.

Wow Billwill - I am a little jealous of your location... I am a bit of an animal nut. I don't care how great autos may be now, I can't stand driving them, LOL. I had a Nissan Frontier with the supercharger that was auto - I lasted three months and had to trade it for a stick.

Well, they do state the runout is 0.003", which is fairly slight - I bet you can truly detect it with a dial gauge. I have a 93 XJ and I can't even remember if I cleaned up the flywheel when I did the clutch, it was a piece of cake - my experience with XJ led me to KJ, what I am discovering is...

Thanks, I am painfully aware of this. :-) Thanks for the link, the service manual is invaluable. I am going to clean this one up and give it a try - if I have a problem the only replacement option is the new kit - that's why I asked, I don't want to take the ebay sellers word for it.

This is my first post... I have an 03 Sport (3.7L) manual transmission (because it is practically a religion for me) - changing the clutch became an adventure because the pilot bearing disintegrated and I had a difficult time getting the remnant of the outer race out... anyway, that problem is...
