I plan on going out to buy a new battery today, but will my alarm system reset if I change out the battery? If it matters it's a Viper system, but I don't know what model exactly.

My mirror broke, so I went out and got a new one from Ford. They told me it was easy to take off, but I cant get the damn thing off. How do you take it off?

1999 Jeep Cherokee Classic, 6 Cyl. 4.0L
Automatic transmission. 103.000 Miles.

Hi, I am not good with autom. transmssion, I can really use some help on this one...
I bought this Jeep used 3 months ago with 100k on it; I have put 3.000 miles on it then the transmission started acting up:
When motor is cold, regardless of warm/cold weather, it is really hard to get it to shift from 1st into 2nd; it revs up as if it was in neutral and I have to play with accelerator pedal to get it to shift. When motor temperature reaches about 140/150 degrees shifting gets a lot smoother. At 200/210 degrees temperature the problem disappears completely. Any ideas? I thought it may me a faulty throttle position sensor or pressure governor, but wouldn't that be faulty all the time regardless of motor temperature? Trans. fluid looks and smells old, probably still original. Should I flush? Should I just drain and refill or should i also replace pan-gasket?
Should I also change the filter? I hear that if the filter has been sitting there for a long time it is not advicebale to replace it as it sort of bonds to the tranny in a way that once removed it may not allow the replacement filter to sit properly. Is this true?
Should I add Lucas or Pro-long or some other trannie treatment?

Please help me with any ideas, I have had really bad experiences with my local transmission shops.


THANKS!!!

I drive a 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited AWD. When driving I let go of the wheel and it veers to the right alomst instantly. Do I need an alignment or could it be something else? And if I do need an alignment what is an estimated guess at the cost? Thanks!

My jeep will start fine but then when I turn it off for a few minutes and try to restart I have trouble.Then sometimes it will turn off while I am driving.I have read about vapor lock but this is a fuel injection.could a bad catalytic converter cause this(mechanic said it had a bad catalytic converter).

This is a Weber DFAV progressive carburetor--whenever I rebuild it I usually end up with too much fast idle for weather conditions but I don't know what adjustment is responsible. It does eventually unload so I don't think it is a vacuum leak. The fast idle speed is okay if it were needed. If possible I would like to fix it without removing from engine since every time needs a new gasket and not available locally. Anyone familiar with this carb?
