For the last 6 months, when I turn on the A/C, I'm getting a "rattle" sound when idling, but when I increase the RPM's, the sound subsides. Popping the hood and it sounds like it coming from the A/C clutch. A common problem on a KJ with a little over 100K on the odometer? Fixes...

It took awhile with lots of research time, but I finally "pulled the trigger"; ordered a clutch kit from GripForce Clutches ($102 shipped!) and me and a friend rolled up our sleeves and got after it. He used to be a GMC mechanic and he has a ton of tools; a floor jack and jack stands. We put...

I've decided to "pull-the-pin" and buy myself a clutch kit and with the help of a friend who has every tool and is dying to get his hands dirty; we're gonna do it ourselves. I've been asking around (dealership and a local car mechanic), and both have quoted me between $500 and $700 for the...

There's plenty of travel when depressing the clutch, it just won't go into gear most of the time. I did a test; not pushing in the clutch and trying to shift produces EXACTLY the same results as when I push in the clutch, which leads me to believe I need to have the clutch rebuilt. Open to...

I have a '04 Manual 4WD KJ with 102K miles, and I've come to a dilemma... I need to replace the clutch; the power driver and passenger front windows need repair (not the actuators, but the white "tube" containing the screw drive has snapped); and my A/C is rattling (probably a bearing)...

I'm so glad that I decided to check first (on this forum) and Google, before dumping what they sold me, into my ******! Looks like I'll be going with either the AMSOIL Manual Synchromesh Transmission Fluid 5W-30, or I'll swing by the dealer to see how much hide they want for some Mopart...

Wanting to do a transmission fluid change on my '04 KJ 3.7 with a 5 speed Manual Transmission. Owners' Manual states: Use NV3550 - Mopart Manual Transmission Lubricant. Shop Manual says: Mopart Manual Transmission Lubricant (P/N 04874464). The guys at O'Reillys Auto Part store did a...

I did some research and found an online source for a KJ shop manual (2004 Jeep Liberty Service Repair Manual)...readmanual.com for just $5.49. It's very in-depth and yes indeed these clutches are hydraulic with a master and slave cylinders. It also mentioned that these are "maintenance free"...

I don't have a shop manual for the Liberty...where is the clutch fluid reservoir located? Thanks for all the help guys, Joe

OK...just went out and fired it up...pushing in the clutch and attempting to shift into 1st gear reproduced the same response as of yesterday...hard to get in gear. I noticed that it would go into 2nd gear, but not reverse. Rolled forward a few feet in 2nd, then ALL the gears worked including...

To my knowledge it has never been changed. Would this be a good place to start? Joe

A year ago heard a fairly loud "pop" in the driver side front door and then noticed that the window would not roll down, and a cable squeezes out between the window and door panel. Took the panel off and noticed that the "white tube" that contains the window screw cable, cracked and allows the...

I have a '04 Liberty 3.7 that just recently is refusing to go into gear. I initially thought that after 101K miles that a new transmission was in order, but after checking the web; thinking that maybe my clutch master of slave cylinder might be leaking. First - where is the master and slave...
