Hunter's IX ongoing tweaks and maintenance

[jeenyus]

cool to finally put some pictures to the words.

I decided to try out some new injectors and we will see if they work or not. I went with Bosch PN 0280155771. They are for a Ford Contour, but the specs line up with everything. 3.0 bar, top feed, high impedence, 15lbs (less than m50 injectors) and 4hole. I'll keep you posted.

cool, lemme know how that goes, also some old photos i found

i almost got stuck and was feeling a little let down by the ix's snow capability, but then i got the jeep stuck and i didnt feel so bad, to be fair, i could almost walk on that snow.

clutch replaced and new shift linkage installed

If everything is still apart, I would replace the shifting arm bearing with something not stock. I used a front sway bar end link from a late 90s ford explorer. I think Garagistic makes one too. Just be sure to glue it in there and use a set screw. It tightens up the shifting a great deal.

already back together, the selector joint i replaced the plastic bushing with bronze, im pretty happy but honestly i think if i was to do it again i would use the original shift lever
