I saw a video on YouTube where they showed how to remove the MT. I'm just afraid of breaking the casing on it and having to buy another... If it comes down to it, I'll just earn the money and buy a jack. Jegs has one for $189 right now that I'm looking at.

I took the passenger side header and cat out. The driver side looked terrible to do, so I removed the front driveshaft to give me better access to the starter that I still haven't removed. I have fat fingers, so more access definitely helps. I just put a bit of time in every night so that my...

I'm in the process of pulling the engine on a 2003 Liberty with a manual transmission. Every video and write-up I've found deals with an automatic transmission, which seems pretty straight forward. I have the service manual PDF and it says that you must remove the transmission on MT Libertys. Is...

Are you getting any codes?

I'm going to check the wiring after the compression test, leak down test, and an inspection of the head with the valve cover off. Will report back in a few days

I did a reset each time and (I've done it 3 times now) sometimes it shows misfire on 2 after a few miles or after ~50 miles. I'm doing the test on Saturday because I'm only with the Jeep on the weekends (work out of state).

Will do, but that doesn't explain the symptoms not moving with the plugs or coils.

The plugs are Denso iridium and the coils are stock. Moving the coils and plugs to different positions didn't change the cylinder that was misfiring. I did have a vacuum leak from a rotted connector. Fixed that, but nothing changed. I'm performing the leak-down and compression tests myself this...

I'm looking at how to do a leak down and compression test. I get the cylinder 2 misfire. I'm realistic and think a new set of heads and timing gear is in my future

I use a FOUR UNCLES 2L Vacuum Brake Bleeder that I bought off Amazon for $60. It requires an air compressor, but it makes the job stupid easy. I used it on our van when I flushed the brake fluid. I'm about to do the same on my truck and the Jeep. Edit: This may be controversial, but I also...
