l-man Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Looked at tech sec. here and have gotten alot of good info. My question is: The 88 mj has a vacum activated 4 wheel drive axle and t-case. My 96 xj doner is not. Am I going to need to swap out front axle, or is there a trick I don't know. Also what year cj pilot bushing will I need? The help is really appreciated, thanks.

Pete M Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 only the front axle is vacuum actuated. your t-case is lever actuated. Just yank out all of that vacuum harness and cap the last port leading to the engine. :thumbsup: this site should help with the details: http://www.jeeptech.com/convtrans/ax15swap.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncgamedog Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 the one we just got was for a 1973 cj-5 with a 304ci engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 When I had this swap done back in the spring, I used a Pilot bearing from the 4wd hardware kit. It was a roller bearing at that. IF you are doing the exteranal slave swap, I either recommend using Your stock MC and a Advance Adapters line kit and an external slave for the yr trans you have, or buy the kit that comes with the master and slave, and line. Keep in mind the 96 master throw rod will have to be drilled out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
