Cars & Transportation - 21 September 2006

I bought a 2004 Wrangler Rubicon on a whim (an error on the website saved me $1000!) I then started doing research and realized that Jeep changed the transmission in 2005 from a 5-speed to a 6-speed. In my 5-speed, 1st gear is WAY too low for street driving, so I start from 2nd, which is too high, and I'm burning my clutch. I want to replace it with a 2005 manual transmission, which has a lower 1st gear, but also a lower 2nd, which will give me a better "street start" 1st gear, and I will still have 5 effective gears.
My basic question is: since the engine is the same 4.0L I-6, will the new transmission bolt directly onto the engine, or are they incompatible?
(I believe I gave enough information, but I will supply more if it is needed)

I herd somewere that subwoofers shouldnt be pushed hard for like the first 10-20 hours thier lives.
that they need to be broken in first.
than after that they'll be fine to bump.

Is this true????

I listen to metal and was thinking about replacing my stock speakers with aftermarket ones with a 4 way amp, and putting 4 6x9" full range speakers with another 4 way amp behind the back seat instead of subs. Im not really looking for a lot of bass, I just want my music to be louder and more full. And what is a good brand of speaker and amp. Any advice would be helpful.

I want to get some subwoofers for my Jeep Grand Cherokee. And I was wondering what would be the best size, I was thinking about getting some 10" kicker L7s, because of how fast the bass hits with metal music, I thought 12" or 15" would have to long of a bass response, and it would miss beats. If anyone has any idea about a good size, and a good sub, please respond, and list a good amp for the subs too.

I bought a used Nissan Altima (2002) and they gave me a keyless remote buy did not know how to program it. Can anyone help? Also, I only got 1 key and would like to make copies...does anyone know if the Altima keys have that chip inside and have to be purchased from a dealer or can I just bring it to a hardware store to copy? I'd really appreciate help on programming the keyless remote! Thanks!

why is it intertwined instead of arranging it in parallel? does it affect much of the safety? or is for aesthetic purpose?

What is the best lube for motorcycle chains for on/off road bikes? On my bicycle and snowblower, I have always used full synthetic 20w-50 motor oil from an oil drip can. Other people have told me to use silicone, white lithium spray, bearing grease, or even that special "chain lube" which comes in a spray can. Should I just keep using motor oil or should I use one of the others I mentioned on my motorcycle?
