Results on AT-205 Reseal for transmission, transfer case & differential
Results on AT-205 Reseal for transmission, transfer case & differential .
I ordered new seal for the transfer case and a new rear seal for the transmission and also new pinion differential seals (front & rear). But before I change out the seals on the transfer case, transmission and front and rear differentials, I am curious to see if the AT-205 reseal will work to completely stop all the leaks in the differentials, transfer case and transmission. If the AT-205 reseal does stop all the leaks completely I definitely will not bother to change the seals in the transfer case and transmission because the transfer case and transmission was completely rebuilt and has very low miles on them. The Jeep has been sitting a while and that is why the seals are leaking versus the seals being worn out.

Clogged Differential Breather, Location of Trans & Transfer Case Breathers, Samurai
Clogged Differential Breather, Location of Trans & Transfer Case Breathers, Samurai.
I show the location of the breathers for the Transmission, Transfer Case & differentials for the Suzuki Samurai. The seals were leaking on the Transmission, Transfer Case & differentials and sometimes a clogged breather could be the cause. In this case one of the breathers was clogged. But you to also check to see if the Transmission, Transfer Case & differential are still functional. After a while the spring inside the breather will rot away and then the rubber check valve will not seal off contaminants from entering the Transmission, Transfer Case & differentials. I am adding AT- 205 re-seal to the Transmission, Transfer Case & differentials as an experiment to see if it stops all the leaks. If not, all new seals have been ordered for the Transmission, Transfer Case & differentials and will be installed, if needed, on a future update.

Before you buy a PowerTrax LockRight for a Samurai, SJ or Jimny
Before you buy a PowerTrax for a Samurai, SJ or Jimny
In the USA a lot people are not familiar with the exact changes to the Suzuki SJ's when they changes from the SJ410 to the SJ413, In 1985 , they sold both and SJ410, which was a 1.0 liter engine with a 4 speed transmission. When the Suzuki Samurai came out in 1986 the engine was a 1.3 liter and the transmission was a 5 speed. The differential housing was wider on the Suzuki Samurai by about 3.5 inches over the SJ410. The gear ratio was 3.73 in the Samurai and the SJ410 had a 4.11 gear ratio. But in the 1985 change over year the model that came out was a SJ413 or Jimny 1300 (Asian model) and the rear axle housing was the same width as the SJ410 although the 1985 SJ413 (or Jimny 1300) had the 1300 cc engine and the 5 speed tarns. In 1985 the SJ413 (or Jimny 1300) has a gear ratio of 3.90 for that year only. The rear brake calibers were the same as the SJ410 and the axles and the axle housing was the same width as the SJ410, but the differential carrier is the same as a Suzuki samurai. The only difference is that the 1986 and up Suzuki Samurai has 3.73 gears and the 1985 SJ413 (or Jimny 1300) has 3.90 gears.
In 1985 they sold both the SJ410 and SJ413 (Jimny 1300).
Iff you have a 1985 SJ413 or Jimny 1300 you would use the Powertrax part number 1510. It is easy to screw this up because the 1985 gear ratio is almost the same as the SJ410, plus the axles and axle housing is the same width and also the brakes in the rear are the same as the SJ410, but the differential carrier is the same as the Suzuki Samurai. An SJ410 with a 1.0 liter and 4 speed would take Powertrax Lockright part no. 1520.
Roadless gear was about the ONLY USA vendor that knew this stuff right.

Suzuki Samurai Installing HHO, Part 2 of {Plumbing}
Suzuki Samurai Installing HHO, Part 2 of {Plumbing}
Installing a HHO kilt will save you money on fuel and increase your gas mileage, especially on the older carbureted cars, truck, jeeps and 4X4's. On older non-emission controlled cars, truck, jeeps and 4X4's, a HHO kit will also lower emissions by cause the existing air/fuel mixture to burn more completely. The hardest part about installing the HHO kit is where to mount it and making strong brackets. The dry cell needs to be below the HHO reservoir.

Suzuki SJ413 Samurai DOOR HINGE BOLTS.
Suzuki SJ413 Samurai DOOR HINGE BOLTS. Taking out the bolts on the Suzuki Samurai, SJ413, SJ410 or Jimny can be very difficult if they have been in a very long time. I tried a 200 plus FT LB Impact with very heavy Phillips head screw-drivers which largely did not work. Reverse drill bits and easy outs worked perfectly. The trick is to use a smaller Reverse drill bit and follow it with a larger drill bit that cause the head of the bolt to separate. Then the bolt comes out very easily.
I used stainless steel bolts to replace the original ones. To avoid stainless steel bolts into steel electrolysis I used heavy grease or use anti-seize.
