Hello everyone, I have been reading this forum for a while, but this is my 1st time posting. I have recently bought a 1990 X-cab 4x4 3.0 5 speed. The body is solid, but I am having problems with the center support bearing (CSB) again, and tranny. It will pop out of 1st while driving and when I am stopped I have to fight with it to get back into 1st. When shifting to 3rd I can feel a little grind in the shifter. Now that you have a little background here are my questions:
1. I heard about a conversion that will allow me to run a single main driveshaft. This allows me to get rid of the CSB. Has anyone done this? Where did you get it? How much was it?
2. I am going to be replacing my clutch soon, an good recommendations.
3. How much does it usually cost to have a tranny rebuilt?
I am not a serious off roader (yet). But from what I heard from my buddies, it gets very addicting.
Thanks in advance for you adivce and help.
