- While I had an AW4 transmission out of the Jeep I figured it would be a great time to show in detail how to remove the NSS without breaking it! #Jeep #cherokee #xj #nss

Always great content. Been watching the ZJ radio install a few times in preparation of doing the same later today. Thanks Dan! 👍🏻
Np brother! Thanks always for the views!
Great info, great presentation, great closeups! Thank you, mine just seems to have crapped out.
Great outdoor work bench too
Thank you so much, good luck on the fix!
Great video, I like your videos because they’re very informative and easy to follow 👍🏻 thank you
Thank you !!! Glad you like them!
I’m really admiring that bench you built. Slowing noticing the features on it Giving me ideas for mine. 👌👌
Thanks Mike! You're welcome to copy it 👍
Project Dan H Did you happen to make a video on it?
@@Bulpar nah, but your welcomed to come over and measure it! Lol
Congrats Dan on 10k subscribers!!! I had to replace the NSS on my 96 XJ and it was a pain (without rust). I ended up using a 3 jaw puller with the point seated on the shaft to get it off. I think what helped you was all the time the penetrating fluid got to sit and do its work.
Yes! Penetrating oil definitely pays off. Your puller idea was brilliant! Did the NSS. Break?
@@ProjectDanH The puller idea came after I tried other methods that broke the NSS.
Congrats on 10k and as always great video💯
Thanks brother! You're channel is doing amazing, God bless 💪
Two of the best ZJ channels in the same comment haha congratulations you both
@@bernardocaldeira4354 thank you! 💪
Hey do you where i can get that quick discount that the lines are connect to by the safety switch????
Thank you very much, I did replace the bad and a bad bulb in the third brake light
Great job keep up the great work and keep the updates coming
Will do brother. thank you
@@ProjectDanH excellent and very friendly video. Will this switch cause issues with a jeep 93’ electronic vehicle security remote module ? Sometimes I have to put it in neutral and then i can disengage the security system and it will start . Hope to hear your feedback ❤️
Love your videos, Dan.
Thank you wilbert!
I recently got inspected and they let me slide despite my reverse light not working, thanks for being my guiding light as a first time car owner
@Project Dan H . Dan, since it was 68 degrees outside today, I decided it would be better to replace my nss on my 93 xj. Now with the old one, I was gonna take it apart tomorrow, clean the inside out, put a dab of die electric where the springs are that push the contacts out so they make contact to all 4 or 5 contacts from the wiring harness. Now with that said, once it's cleaned out, lubed up & assembled, can I hook it up to the harness under the hood, put the key in the on position and rotate the switch to see if the backup lights come on in the reverse position. If I can, then it should tell me that the nss is in working order if the backup lights do come on. They haven't been and yes, I've had to jiggle it back and forth from park to neutral in order to start this baby to start about every 2nd or 3rd time I tried staring my xj....Thanks Dan, MD...

Gracias bro por enseñar nuevas cosas y excelente proyectó
Thank you bro, glad to help!!!
Too bad im just now seeing this vid cause ive got to replace my nss on my cherokee i rescued my jeep from a salvage yard i bought it for $500 and replaced the fuel pump where it sat (it didn't have one when i bought it) put a battery on it fired it up and drove it home but yeah i got home and realized that i needed one just haven't been ready to put it on the road yet until now. Next thing im planning is looking for the right factory style wheels its got after market custom wheels on it now and i prefer the factory styles that jeep had better. This is actual my first vid of yours ive seen now im a sub and will be binge watching your content
Hey Byron! Thank you so much for subscribing. If you rescued an XJ for $500 then this UA-cam channel is right up your alley! God bless I'm looking forward to chatting with you in the comments 😁
Awesome video 😎
Glad you enjoyed it
Gracias saludos desde Monterrey Nuevo León Mexico.
Dan, love the videos... I have a 97 xj and live in Brooklyn .... I have notch custom fender flares... need help where could I get them installed... there’s no videos online showing an install and most shops shy away from it... thanks in advance
Thank you so much for the love! Respect to BK. I'm not really sure how the notch customs install. I think a body shop needs to do it because bthere is no mounting hardware. I rather use bushwhacker flats IMHO.
Great video.
Thanks!
Great video. With zip ties being so cheap and plentiful at harbor freight, I’m just gonna cut the reusable ones lol
I’m missing the adjustment bolt . My Jeep wouldn’t start so a crawled under to mess with the switch and found that the bolt was missing so I’m unable to cinch it to any adjustment . I need to know the length , diameter and thread pitch on the thing . I’ve scoured the web trying to find this info .
Is this a 42RE transmission?! Can you tell me if the Governor pressure sensor and the solenoid are the same as the 46RE? Thanks dude! And congratulations for your channel! It's awesome!
Thanks brother, this is an XJ Aw4 trans. I'm not really a transmission guy so I don't know much about the internals. Thank your for watching 💪
Thanks, about to remove and clean on my daughters Xj, the reverse lights are intermittent, I guess contacts are dirty?
Yes, most likely. The NSS can be cleaned out if you can remove it without braking it. Lol .. use lots of penetrating oil!
Out of curiosity does the VIC show rear lamp failure and the ABS dash light when the reverse lights are not working, I’m about stuck on what to do next then I saw your video
Well the ZJ doesn't have the same NSS as the XJ. But if it failed is wouldn't show a rear lamp failure. At least I don't think it will. Try a new rear lamp module and a new NSS for good measure!
I just took mine off today and got it all cleaned out and stretched the springs back out a little bit... I didn't undo my harness I unbolted it and just left it hanging it was still a pain to do it
That's pretty cool, they can usually be rebuilt but I end up destroying them during removal because they're so rusted on.
Is it the same for the 2001 wj?
when my ac is on and i switch gears on my automatic like you have in video my rpms go way high or way low and the guage light comes on. it also does this when i put it into gear with ac on . and idles high when turning ac on or off . some say its the IAC what you guys think ?
Sounds like you may have a vacuum leak. Could very well be an IAC. Make sure you have a good battery and clean your throttle body very well
@@ProjectDanHthanks i'm going to attempt to clean my IAC tommorrow at certain points with ac on when i put it in park with the ac on the rpms get high or low. i have over 300k miles . how do you clean a throttle body if it comes to that ?
hello useful video skills question under this on the output shaft there is a small oil seal you accidentally do not know the number of this oil seal there is no way to find it ano pratikaet skills
You need to know the model transmission you have for the trans output seal and the type of transfer case for the transfer case input as seal
@Project Dan H. Great video Dan. I just bought a 1993 Cherokee that came from Colorado City, Colorado. The underside, along with the rest of the body & doors are completely rust free. I told my wife that it'll outlive this 2010 Patriot I bought 11 months ago, which is on it's way out because of the poor engineering, along with cheap material that is used today on all the Jeep Models. At any rate, I was told that the NSS was starting to go bad, which did act up when I picked up the Jeep today. I ordered one and will be putting it on next week while it's still nice outside because I'm here in Michigan.... Now you pulled the AW4 trans out because you're putting in a manual trans right? Thanks, Dan
awesome to hear! I love XJs, congrats on the 93! Yes, basically the AW4 is out and an AX15 manual is going in. God bless👍
@@ProjectDanH Awesome it is. Hey Dan do you also have a .com or an email address that goes with your channel? Reason I'm asking is once I start checking a vehicle out like I am with this one, I'm almost positive that the 2nd owner pulled the engine & trans out and at least rebuilt the engine. Instead of replying back and forth in the comments, emailing directly would probably be a lot easier. Unless you have other media platforms where PM can be done. Plus you might wanna see pictures so you can see what I'm talking about. Thanks for replying back so fast & God Bless You back Dan. Thanks again, Dan
Funny,we're just a couple of Dan's with Jeeps, lol....
@@montydaniels1054 every Dan should own a Jeep 😊. I'm best reached on instagram. @project_danh
@@ProjectDanH I pulled the carpet up on the front passenger side yesterday and the floorpan looked great, no surface rust. I might be able to get a 1999 that is a rust bucket and will need a trans because it's slipping. It has one of those $350-$400 stinger front bumpers (no winch), along with a new set of tires & rims. Guy is asking $950 obo. I'm thinking about buying it just because I'd rather have a beater for the 2 worst winter months. Because this 93 XJ is so clean, now I'm turning into a scardy cat about driving on our salty roads. I've got a set of Hankook Dynapro ATM 245/R75/16's w/Vision Wheel Rims. So if the automatic car wash down the street says that it's go through their conveyor without issues, I might drive it this winter. I suppose I can put the original rims back on but they're studded snow tires and I believe that means I can be ticketed if caught driving with em. I think I'm creating my own dilemmas with this XJ, lol.... Any advice Dan. Thanks, MD...
@@montydaniels1054 if you want the 93 to last garage it in the winter and drive the beater!
Rock On
Amen!
Does the neutral switch conect to the same harnest that goes with the coil pack?
I think so. It connects into the engine harness right by the trans dipstick tube
Reverse lights on my 96 XJ have been acting up. Bet this is my problem. THANKS!!
Bingo! Anytime👍
Another way to pry it away from the shaft is put that big nut back on and stick a prybar between the nut and the nss housing and give it some pressure it should break free
Excellent tip, will this work for rusted Jeeps?
@@ProjectDanH I have a 96 Cherokee and it wasn't really rusted but it was oily I just sprayed mine with pb blaster and let it sit overnight
So does the nss control the reverse lights /turn signals as well the fan in the car ? People are telling that it is for a 03 4.0 wj
just reverse lights.. turn signals should be on a relay in the dash
Hmm interesting I can figure this out then , I have to turn signals and not air or ac in the car since the fuse keeps popping…fuse #20 under the dash
Thanks Dan for the video. Couldn’t it be a good idea to open the switch and clean/regrease it before mounting it again??
Yes, absolutely! I should have done that.. but then again its not in a vehicle 🤣🤣
Where in the North East are you located?
Good info! I will save this should we need it one day! And I’m sure we will 🤣🤓🤪💯
Most definitely! Thanks Bug! Congrats on the new house!
Nice job removing that N.S.S.Dano.Will you be using the engine computer for the auto transmission with the manual?
That's the plan! 2001 auto pcm and harness with a 2001 tupy head and coil pack ignition system then a 1999 block with an AX15 manual and a 242 selec track transfer case.. what do you think? plausible???
Sounds like a winner to me Brother....👍👍
@@danhambrick6331 Perfect, Stay Tuned!!!
Yes praise the name of Jesus
Can you take that thing out without bending those things?
Don't think so.. they'll block the nut from spinning.
Great job just wish it was that easy when in the Jeep lol they suck!
they totally suck! hopefully this video can illuminate the importance of pre-pulling prep! 👍
If you were to sell one of your 4.0 engines how much would you ask?
IDK.. I never actually thought about selling one.... ever! lol
How can you see those fingers from underneath ? Almost impossible surely ?
Just gotta get your face up in there!
Can you start the jeep when its in neutral?
absolutely Matty
@@ProjectDanH thanks for the great tips!
I think is a little late but by any chance do you still have that tranny? or maybe know someone I'm looking for 1998 I believe is the same AW4.
sorry I don't, but yes it is an AW4
Leave nut on and pry between nut and switch with one or to screwdrivers.
.
I've never had luck up here in NY with just screwdrivers
ill take the trans mine is going out at 232
sure, come get it!
Project Dan H im in frederick maryland where are you located
