maddzz1 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Will an intake from a 2000 TJ 4.0 work on my 89 4.0? If the throttle body on the intake is from a manual tranny would I need to swap the throttle body from my automatic onto it? Will it fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offroader461 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 No the TJ uses a HO throttle body and the 89 is a renix throttle body...the intakes on a HO slip over and uses a clamp to hold them down...the renix uses 3 hex head bolts to hold the intake tubes down..you can make it work but its difficult Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddzz1 Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 If the throttle body on the intake is for an automatic will it then just be a direct swap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtdesigns Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 plus isnt the intake/head bolt holes different on the HO from the Renix?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddzz1 Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 After going back and reading the write up on gojeeps site again I see that the upgrade was from an earlier HO to a later HO. Does anyone know of anyone getting this to work on an Renix era 4.0? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offroader461 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 it WILL NOT work with a renix throttle body which is what you have...the TJ intake will only work with a H.O. throttle body...so unless you swap the thottle body it won't work...it doesnt matter if its an Auto or Manual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The intake I was thinking of buying has an HO intake with it. Thats what my second question was referring too. I was asking about auto or manual TB. Doesnt the auto TB have extra brackets for the throttle cable and stuff that the manual does not have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the renix tps has another set of outputs for the tranny.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
