Have you checked all your fuses and relays?

With the cost of a speedi sleeve and seal for it, you may be better off spending a couple bucks more for a new u bolt yoke.

I'm looking for a 1992 preferably. That would give me more options on using 92-94 XJ drivetrains. This will be going in the 1989 MJ I just picked up in Virginia. I have several mid 90's 4.0's and trannys. I have a complete 94 XJ auto to use if I can't get an MJ harness.

Like it says above. For a 4.0 HO.

Yes, they are. The drivetrains are the same length and same position in the chassis.

That's the hole. The marks weren't there though for that piece. Also it had the holes for the short visors. Maybe somebody took that liner out of an earlier one and Put it into the 91? We'll never know. Thanks for the responses and pictures.

No, there are no marks for a full console. They usually have a large hole where they were. Even the security sensor leaves a 3" x 5" hole. Maybe a PO put it in there for his own reasons. I'll just make an aluminum cover for the hole for now.

Yes, it is worth it. Buy it and fix it. Pulling a tranny isn't hard, even in a dirt driveway I've done it. Look around for a 94-99 transmission out of a Cherokee. That will be your best up grade. Preferably buy a complete Cherokee and take all the usable parts off it for the MJ. I've picked up several nice running rust buckets for well under $500 that would have all the parts you need to fix it.

I just picked up a headliner for my 92. The headliner is out of a 91. My question is what came mounted between the visors? I have a hole that measures about 1" wide by about 3" long that's centered on the two mounting holes that on a cherokee would mount the security reciever. Any ideas?

Glad it was an easy fix for you. Sometimes we get lucky.

Is the little nub that holds the cap from coming out still there? If not, then you need to replace the yoke. If there is no nub don't drive it, your driveshaft will come off. Quick fix that might get you home is put a new joint in then tack weld the cap to the yoke.

You actually pay attention to it? I don't even notice it.

This one. Pulling the connections and linkages on the transmission is no fun. All the connections on the engine are simple and easy to get to.

Question about the Hanson bumper. Where are you going to mount the license plate? :dunno:

Amen brother. Rob That's why all my vehicles are XJ based. I'm even converting my 89 YJ and 77 CJ to 4.0 HO. All my rides will use the same engine. I'm even contemplating changing out the 360 in my 1973 F350 to a 4.0. I have the bell housing that will mate up to the tranny that's in it.

Drill the heads off the screws.

Look at Don's picture and redo your lines like his. Then you'll have plenty of room.

Where are you located?

1992 Jeep Comanche MJ Specs: 4.0 HO/ AX15/ straight axle/ no transfer case/ D35/ LWB Build date: 2-92 Currently located in Colebrook CT, originally purchased new in Jewett City CT. I purchased it in February of this year from the second owner in Branford CT. Exterior color: Dark Green. Interior color: Tan Cloth bench seat. Status: it is currently my daily driver. It is mostly rust free and the cab is in decent shape but the bed looks like it was used as a firewood target. It is currently being converted to 4 wheel drive. It has an AX15 and NP231 out of a 1996 XJ. It has a 3.07 geared D44 in the rear now but it will be receiving a 3:54 D44 and a 3:55 Dana HP30. I may also put a NP242 behind the 5 speed as this will be mostly a DD and work truck.

Remember that chart is for 1 to 1 out of transmission. AX15 is .79 OD or so.

350,000 miles on my 98 4.0 XJ, it's never been opened up. Still runs great.

In my XJ I'm running 4.10's with 31" tires. The revs are a little high at highway speeds but still well within reason. I think you would be happy with 4.10's at a minimum and probably better off with 4.56's. Your clutch will thank you. Have you checked any of the gearing calculators? 4.56's will put you at 2200 rpm in 5th gear at 65. 35's are a heavy tire and take some umph to get moving. It's nice to have the snappy throttle response that proper gearing gives. We get approximately 19 mpg with the XJ, the engine doesn't have to work as hard as it would with the stock 3.07's. And yes, my speedo gear has been corrected.

91-92 4.0 HO is probably the easiest to work on electrically. Never liked working on the Renix jeeps. Plus there is more XJ HO's on the road still to rob parts from then there are Renix era jeeps. :peek:

You will need a front bearing retainer and bellhousing from a 1994 and up AX15, possibly a different clutch to but not sure. I didn't have to swap clutches on a 92 to 96 tranny swap. I also used the master and slave from the 96. Worked fine.

Look to see if the frame rail where your bumper and steering box mounts is pushed back. The drivers side looks like it is pushed back compared to the passenger side. Can you get a picture showing the steering box mount and the bumper mount?
