Thanks, I just emailed the VA parts yard. I was searching under jeep trucks instead of jeep comanche. Was the AW4 the only available tranny for the 88? Or was the torqueflight available as well? It didn't mention tranny type in the add.

What search criteria did you use?

Thanks I'll give a look see and check on the shipping. :cheers:

That's not good. I guess finding one in a Hawaii junkyard is going be slimmer than slim. Guess its time to scour the web or just drive her for now. Thanks for the info! upland

Aloha all, Haven't been on in a while since I sold my 89 at the beginning of the year. Just got an 88' and I have a few questions for you. The 88 has the 2.5/AX4 combo, can I swap in an AW4 behind the 2.5? The engine is solid and I don't plan on changing it, with gas prices in Hawaii it works out for me. I've searched but can't seem to find a bell housing for the 2.5 to AW4, info from the web says it was offered from the factory. Can anyone confirm or disprove it? I already have a 1996 AW4/231 with the AWshift box from Brett from my 89 conversion. So I have the parts if it'll work. If not the MJ stays a 2wd DD. TIA! upland

Thanks for the confirmation, I just read that in a thread on JU. I guess I'm good to go for the swap. :D Hopefully there will be no major problems. BIG Mahalo's! upland

Thanks for the help guys. I have the complete tranny/t-case along with all the computers, linkages, etc. The manual controller from Brett does away with the computer and electronic stuff, so no worries there. Does anyone have a FSM where they can look to see if a pilot bearing is listed for the auto or is that strictly for the manual? I've only had manual XJ & MJ's. This is the first auto I'll have. I remeber that link but I can't find it. I used these 2 as references, neither states using a pilot bearing with the auto, only removal of the bearing. http://www.thebassetts.us/Jeep/AW4/AW4_files/page0005.htm http://stu-offroad.com/engine/aw4/intro.htm upland

Aloha All, I've got a quick question. I'm doing a tranny swap in my 88 MJ. I'm going from the Peugeot to 96' AW4. I have all the hardware and manual shifter from BrettM. I need to know if I need to change out the pilot bearing? If I do what do I ask for at the parts store? A bearing from a 96'? This is the last stage in my 2wd to 4wd conversion. Everything else is bolted in and ready to go. Any help would be appreciated! BIG Mahalo's! upland

Very Sweet! :D upland
