Woody Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 I really can't find much info on my tranny. What type was used in the 89' Pioneer?
DirtyComanche Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 Auto? AW4. It's strong, don't worry about it.
whowey Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 I really can't find much info on my tranny. What type was used in the 89' Pioneer? Its the infamous 'conversion year'. There are actually 4 different possible trannies. An auto is AW-4 But there are three possible manuals. A four-speed would be AX-4 Two possible 5-speeds. Early in the production year, you would have the BA-10 commonly referred to as the 'puke-goat', or the 'no-go' Or the AX-15 in the later part of the production year. Both are aluminum cased, but the BA-10 has a split case.

Woody Posted January 3, 2006 Author Posted January 3, 2006 ok I have an 4.0L Awotmatic 2WD so is that an AX15 or BA-10?
pingpong Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 If it is a 2wd.. did they come with the AW4 or the 727 torque flight? Patrick
Pete M Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 I've got nothing that mentions any auto tranny but the AW-4 coming behind the 4.0L in our trucks. Jeep on! --Pete
Bounty Hunter Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 It's the AW4 if it's a 4spd auto. Does the shifter have 1-2, 3, D?
87manche Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 AW-4 then. About the only thing to do with it migt be to put a larger, external trany cooler on it. It's a phenomally stout tranny, but heat is always the enemy.
Woody Posted January 4, 2006 Author Posted January 4, 2006 Do you guys reccomend a cooler? Right now it is not a trail vehical just going to be a D/D
Bounty Hunter Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 Bit a hassle if not needed (KISS). Keep in mind that the AW4 can be setup to shift manually using an electric switch, including manual control over the torque converter. If you wanna spend the money for something that can be made in the garage: www.awshifting.com

Woody Posted January 6, 2006 Author Posted January 6, 2006 How do you make this switch in your garage? Pls send a link.
512tr Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 http://wagoneers.com/XJ/tech/xj-tcu.html 87manche, the link to the wire diagram doesn't work, do you have it stored on your HD?
Woody Posted January 8, 2006 Author Posted January 8, 2006 has anyone done this? if so do you reccommend it for a d/d?

Bounty Hunter Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Bounty, have you done this or plan to in the future? No, and No. One of Kee's XJs has the manual shifter setup, you could probably take a look at his.
Eagle Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 has anyone done this? if so do you reccommend it for a d/d? It is not needed with a 2WD daily driver. For a 4x4 that gets used on trails, the ability to control whether the tranny stays in 1 or 2 has value. On the street you don't need it. I discourage doing this if you don't need it because there are several version on the Internet and not all are equal. A young friend of mine did one of these mods to his father's 95 XJ and burned out the TCU because something ddn't work as advertised, or because he didn't follow the instructions correctly. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
