UNL1MTD Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I'm looking to convert my 2wd BA/10 to a 4wd Auto. Would a '90 xj be a good canidate for the swap? I have an 87. Same engine, so trans would bolt up right? Would the cross member be interchangable? Thanks, Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimoshel Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Yes. You are getting the complete Jeep, right? If so then you will have all the bits and pieces needed except for the rear drive shaft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyleag89 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 You should need to swap the flywheel, cross member, and find a drive shaft from another 4x4 auto MJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNL1MTD Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 Yea I'm getting the whole truck. Good deal, going to take a look this week. I will probably pull the trigger on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I probably have a spare rear shaft or two down here that'll work for you if you need one.....gimme a holler if so. You'll need the tranny crossmember as it is AX15-specific, and you'll need to use the TC linkage parts from the donor as well. You can keep your flywheel (it's still Renix up to '91) and clutch assembly too, although it's not a bad idea to replace the clutch while you have it all apart (and the flywheel if needed).

UNL1MTD Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 bleh ... dealing with some people = herding cats XJ is a 1990, Renix, Aw4, NP242. Basically a perfect donor for what I want to do to the MJ. However the vehicle on the whole has issues. It over heats, leaks ATF from coolant lines of trans, AC is broke, interior is busted, rust of doors, and its got very bad death wobble (reason for him selling, been parked since November). And at one time the jeep must have had some really bad oil leaks. Those were fixed by 'some guys' that evidently smoked a lot and left they're butts inside the jeep. But... I went on time, 1100, to look at it. Offered low amount, settled at fair amount $525, but he had to get the wife's approval. Suppose to hear back by 1 lateast 2. 1:45 I hear back with the word that the price is good, but he left for Richmond and won't be back until 4. Meanwhile had a friend in route as tow rig to be doing the deal at 2. Head to Hooters eat, drink, oogle. 4:00 he calls and says now he might be back 5:30ish or could be later. Meh. Also unavaible tomorrow. Meh Meh. Ball is in his court, I can't play games well. I honestly feel like I might just blow it off and spend the money on a home project or OBA on the TJ. I don't really need to do a 4wd/Auto swap on the truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNL1MTD Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 dunno why you care about rust on it if all you want is the drive train ??? I don't, but just another thing not mentioned that IMO should knock off a bit of $ on the sale price. As ultimately it will effect how much I can part out to recoop my money.
