SOURCE: 2001 jeep grand cherokee seat removal

i actually removed my 2 front seats very easily as a novice. There really is only i think 4 bolts that need to come out 2 in front and 2 in back. If i can remember correctly i believe it was a larger metric size. Although i dont have power seats, if you do just look for the clip connector and disengage

You need to remove all the skrews from the door. Normaly there is one in the handle of the door, one behind the in door lach handel and one under the bump out for the arm rest on the door. Than you need to take a flat head skrew driver slowly priying the panel off. There are plastic clips on the backside of the panel it is ok if you brake a few.

SOURCE: 2001 Jeep grand cherokee motor knock 4.7 motor

First, if the noise is from the upper part of the engine and is more of a tapping than a knock, likely you have a problem in the valvetrain, most often a bad lifter or worn rocker arm. If the noise is low, deep inside, the noise is from a bearing. This is generally accompanied by lower than normal oil pressure. Regardless of the underlying cause, correcting the cause will not stop the knock. To do that correctly, the engine needs to be removed and all crankshaft bearings and the crankshaft itself need to be replaced (crank can sometimes be "undercut" and thicker bearing shells can be used depending upon the amount of wear.) If caught very early, sometimes only one bearing can be replaced in-car, but in 99% of all cases I have ever seen, most will fail again, sometimes more severely if done this way.

Transmission cable replacement

Replacing the transmission cable on a vehicle can be a complex task that requires some mechanical and electrical knowledge. The transmission cable is responsible for connecting the transmission to the gear shifter mechanism and allowing the driver to change gears.
Here's a general guideline on how to replace the transmission cable on a vehicle:
  1. Locate the transmission cable. It runs from the transmission to the gear shifter mechanism and is typically located under the vehicle.
  2. Remove the old transmission cable. This typically involves disconnecting the cable from the transmission and the gear shifter mechanism, and removing any clips or retaining bolts that hold the cable in place.
  3. Install the new transmission cable. This typically involves connecting the new cable to the transmission and the gear shifter mechanism, and installing any clips or retaining bolts that hold the cable in place.
  4. Adjust the cable. Make sure that the cable is properly adjusted and that the transmission is in the correct gear.
  5. Test the new cable. Test the new cable by shifting gears and making sure that the transmission is shifting smoothly.
It's important to have a good understanding of the vehicle's transmission and gear shifter mechanism, and to be familiar with the tools and materials needed to do the job properly. Also, make sure to have the right replacement cable for your vehicle.
A professional mechanic or a transmission specialist could be the best choice to do this task. They will have the necessary knowledge and experience to safely and effectively replace the transmission cable on your vehicle.

2016 ford f150 gear shift stuck in reverse is there a simple fix to the problem

Your problem could be in one of three problems. The shifter its self, the shifter cable, or the transmission. First disconnect the shifter cable from the shifter. It is easily done under the dash. If that frees the shifter, then the next step is to disconnect the cable from the transmission. If the cable then moves freely, then the problem is in the transmission. Fixing the problem depends on what the problem is. There could be a problem with the bushings in the shifter or a broken shifter shaft/restriction. The column is easily lowered to inspect the shaft. If the cable is stuck, it should be replaced. Internal transmission problems requires a mechanic.

Shift my jeep in 4wd now the shifter is loose and it is staying in 4wd

Sounds like the rod from the 4WD shifter has come loose form the transfer case or from the shifter lever. Some use a cable. Look under the vehicle. A rod or cable will go from the shifter to the transfer case. If it is a cable and the ends appear attached the cable is broken inside the housing. Reattach ends of rod or replace cable .
