Ok so I finally got the jeep running pretty good since the wife sank it in the river. I've done a lot of work on it to get it running again, changed every fluid in the entire vehicle. Ok so we decided to finally take it a little further from base and see how she ran. Well it ran great for about 100 kilometers on the expressway, but when we got off and were driving around trying to find a parking lot in down town Tokyo while we were driving around while starting from a stop and while turning slowly it sounds like the xj has a diff or like a limited slip that is trying to "lock". I don't know another way to explain it other than when im driving forward slow or turning slow it's a big clunk noise in the rear end, you can even feel it clunking in the rear. I cant pinpoint where the noise is coming from but maybe I have a limited slip and don't know. When I changed the fluid in it I never put the limited slip additive in it and maybe that's what causing the noise? Also what fluid is supposed to be in the t-case? And what weight gear oil do you guys use in your axles?
Check to see if the U-joint is loose on the drivrshaft by parking it and try turning the driveshaft and see if they move at all. Dont they still make the Cherokee over there ?

ATF-4 is a good fluid for the t-case. It's not real picky.
I use 80-90 gear oil in my diffs but I have no limited slip.
Another damn problem with the HEEP!
