minydigger Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 I am getting ready to swap in a 94' 4.0Lho motor into my 86' manche and the motor I have has a 2wd auto tranny behind, my ?, is the 2wd trans the same as a 4wd or do I need a whole new trans. What trans is it aw4?
BIGHEEP Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 I am not 100% sure so someone chime in but I don't think any of the trasmissions offered in 1986 will bolt up to the 4.0L.
DirtyComanche Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 I don't think he's asking if the 86 tranny will bolt up (it won't). He's asking if the 2wd AW4 can be converted to 4wd. The answer is yes, but it's a total rebuild to do it. Better to find a 4wd AW4.
mjeff87 Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 There's a guy over on NAXJA in Willliamsburg that's giving away a 4WD AW4. It's got high miles but says it runs o.k. http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=88456 HTH, Jeff (if that doesn't work out for you, come on up to Richmond and I'll take ya down to the 'yard....you can pull a tranny of your choice for about $100 :D
pingpong Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 Be sure the spline count matches up with the t-case you plan on using. Personally its alot of work to swap an auto into a vehicle where one did not exist. I am not sure about the 2wd auto's but the controllers might be different. I don't know. I do know some one who had a complete aw4 and np242 set-up, but I am not sure if he stil has it though.
minydigger Posted June 23, 2006 Author Posted June 23, 2006 The XJ that the motor is coming out of was 4wd and somebody swaped in a 2wd tranny. So I want to put a 4wd tranny back behind it. The truck is setup for an auto.
JeeppinTom Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 You going to leave the MJ colum shift or the XJ floor shift?
pingpong Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 Minydigger.... I see you finally found this site :D I see your post over on tidewaters board all the time. I might be of more assistance depending on what you need.
minydigger Posted June 25, 2006 Author Posted June 25, 2006 I haven't decited yet on the shifter, I am swaping the dash too so I will most likely swap the colum over also. What ever is the easiest I guess.
pingpong Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 Go to a flor shifter from an xj. While you are at it also install an XJ e-brake. Lots easier
