btm24 Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 I have been in the proses in converting my 89 Jeep Comanche (MJ) to a 4x4 and was almost set to put the aw4 auto transmission and 231 transfer case in. How ever I had them sitting at a "friends" house for the past few months and when I went over there today he said that he "thought I picked it up 2 weeks ago". So some how either in a mix up or some body stole them both, either way they are both now gone. I am already WAY over bugget and was wandering if any body knew any body, or If you have a 87-90 Jeep cherokee or comanche, I6 4x4 auto parts truck or have a transmission and 231 transfer case that they could sell to me the is near Tampa FL. If you do PLEASE call me at (813) 713-4508 or email me at Btmredneck7@yahoo.com ASAP if you do! I was hopping to have this all done with in the month but now who knows... Thanks!!! Brandon Btm24
btm24 Posted March 2, 2011 Author Posted March 2, 2011 Amazing I love to know people. With in the past hour Ive tracked down a guy who also owns a red 88 Comanche, that has a part time (231?) t case and auto transmission that hes gonna give me for $200. The transmission Needs to be rebuilt but at least Ill know it will be reliable. Thanks guys Brandon
cody4359 Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 auto's are expensive to rebuild. i got a couple quotes for mine around $2000-2600, then found a guy that owns a tranny shop to rebuild it for $1100 under the table. and that was with me pulling it out and taking it to his shop. for $2000 i figured i might as well buy a brand new tranny but convinently they are no longer made and with the dealerships database they only found one or two brand new ones in california. not sure if i should reccomend this but if you know somebody who has real experince and the right tools and knowledge (or service manual) with there help you could rebuild it in a CLEAN location yourself and if done right save a ton of $$ and gain some experince. the rebuild kits were less than $200 if i rember right. but do it wrong and not far down the road youll be stranded and rushed to get it fixed right.

Thanks Brandon
cody4359 Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 good deal. that would be a good time to clean the NSS in between handing him stuff
